The History of Indian Head Massage Indian Head Massage (or "Champissage" - the Hindi word for 'head') is a practice that originated over a thousand years ago in India where it stemmed from a tradition of family grooming. Indian mothers used to massage their daughters hair with different oils to encourage long, lustrous locks.
Narendra Metha, a blind man who grew up in India where massage was part of his life, was the first person to develop and formalise Indian Head massage into an actual therapy. He came to England in the 1970's to train as a physical therapist and was dismayed to find that the head was virtually ignored by the other therapies he was learning. He returned to India in 1978 to study Champissage, and upon returning to England began to perfect a sequence to include the upper back, neck shoulders and face. |
