Verified listingWhat is indian head massage?
Indian head massage, or champissage, is given seated and clothed, which makes it one of the quickest and most accessible treatments to book. The therapist works the upper back, shoulders, neck, scalp and face with a combination of kneading, friction, pressure points and gentle tapping, sometimes with a little warm oil in the hair and sometimes without.
It has been part of family life in India for centuries and was brought to the UK in the 1970s as a formal treatment. The effect on tension headaches, eye strain, jaw tightness and the stiff neck and shoulders of screen work is immediate, and many people report better sleep and clearer thinking afterwards.
Sessions are 30 to 45 minutes, and because there is no undressing or couch, it is popular in offices, at events and as a mobile treatment. It is also a common add-on to a back massage or facial at salons and spas.
