What is Indian head massage? 
 
Indian head massage is a technique known as champissage that was brought to England by Narendra Mehta from India where it has been practised for many years.

The therapist manipulates the soft tissues on the back neck and head, using a range of different massage pressures to stimulate the circulation.

The Indian head massage course teaches the entire range of massage strokes and sequences used in Indian head massage.

It is a very simple therapy to learn, no prior qualifications are needed.

Mobile therapists find this therapy ideal, as all they need is a chair for their client.

Many hairdressers and beauty salons now offer Indian head massage in their range of treatments, which could mean employment for you.

Indian Head Massage Home Study Available Worldwide.

It is not always convenient for students to attend a training venue.

As Indian head massage is so simple to learn and administer, and the course manual so well structured, it is possible for students to train to the same professional standards via the “home study” option.

The course is identical to the training at the venues, the Indian Head Massage Association DVD of the technique is included free with the training material: this is a step by step demonstration of the massage techniques used.

The association’s comprehensive training manual contains all the theory taught at the venues.

You will be assigned a tutor who you can email throughout your home study training. The tutor will support you and give you extra tuition if necessary.

This support will be available until your have completed your training and received your certification.
