What is Indian Head Massage?

Indian Head Massage is a relaxing treatment, which, as the name suggests, concentrates on massaging the head, but also includes the shoulders, arms & face.  Head and scalp massage used alongside simple meditative techniques to provide a simple and effective way to relax.
A Brief History of Indian Head Massage
The Hindi word for head massage is "Champi" and aspects of the treatment have a long tradition in Indian families.  Mothers would stroke their children's hair to promote its growth and health.
Narendra Mehta - blind from the age of one - grew up in India and head massage was an integral part of his life.  He came to England in the 1970s to train as a physical therapist and in 1978 returned to India to study the benefits and practice of champissage, extending it to include neck, shoulders, and face.  On his return to England, he developed a sequence of movements.  There is no right or wrong way and sequence of movements vary from one therapist to another.
How does Indian Head Massage work?
The treatment involves massage, shiatsu, and acupressure techniques on upper back, shoulders, arms/hands, neck, scalp, and face.  This relaxes tense areas but, at the same time, helps to rebalance the energy, clearing any areas of negativity.
