INDIAN HEAD MASSAGE

In India, where Indian head massage is known as champissage, you can receive a head massage almost anywhere - on street corners, in barbers & hairdressers, on the beach, and particularly in the home where it is a family activity used for bonding, grooming & relaxation. Babies receive a daily massage until they are around 3 years old to promote bonding between mother & child, & by the age of around 7 the child is taught how to massage their younger siblings, parents & grandparents.
In the West it is used more as a stress management treatment. Indian head massage is a relaxing & calming treatment which, as its name suggests, concentrates on massage to the head but also the arms, shoulders and the neck where we tend to accumulate the most stress & tension, & also incorporates a facial massage. Indian head massage is an extremely versatile, non-invasive treatment & as such is the perfect introduction to massage. The advantages are many...
