INDIAN HEAD MASSAGE





What is Indian Head Massage?

Indian Head Massage was created by Narendra Mehta. It is based on the traditional massages given in India by grandmother, to mother, to daughter in the home, and by barbers to men in their barber shops. It has been combined with certain western massage techniques and acupressure to create a new form of massage. The massage covers the upper back, shoulders, arms, neck, head, ears and face. It can be carried out anywhere as there is no need to remove clothing, or to use oils. A later development was the addition of energy healing, based on the Ayurvedic system of medicine, to create Indian Champissage. This is a form of massage that works on the energetic as well as the physical body, thus helping to bring the body in to balance. Some therapists will incorporate this energy work into their massage.



What is an Indian Head Massage session like?

Indian Head Massage is given while you sit in a chair fully clothed. There are many different techniques within the field of Indian Head Massage and each individual practitioner develops their own style. Some techniques are very gentle, others more vigorous. Its a good idea to let your therapist know what you like and don't like, so that you get the most from your massage. Most people find the massage session to be very relaxing.
