Indian Head Massage in Coventry
Champissage for the shoulders, neck and scalp – one of the most relaxing treatments I offer, whether as an occasional treat or a way to switch off after a stressful week.
Champissage
Champissage Coventry
Indian head massage, also known as Champissage, is a form of massage rooted in Ayurvedic tradition that focuses on the upper back, shoulders, neck and head. It combines kneading and pressure through the shoulders and neck, where most of us carry our tension, with slower, rhythmic work on the scalp.
It's one of the most relaxing treatments I offer. Some clients book it as an occasional treat, others to switch off at the end of a stressful week, and many add it to a longer massage.
If you're dealing with specific chronic pain conditions such as persistent lower back discomfort or sciatic nerve pain rather than general stress and tension, deep tissue massage provides a more targeted therapeutic approach focused on releasing the specific muscles causing your pain.
Your session
What Happens During an Indian Head Massage
We start with a quick chat about how you're feeling and anything you would like me to focus on. The massage then works through the upper back and shoulders, up through the neck and into the scalp. The pressure on the shoulders and neck can be as firm or as gentle as you like, while the scalp work is slower and more soothing.
An Indian head massage can include oils worked through the scalp and hair, or it can be done without oil – just let me know which you prefer.
Many clients say they leave feeling calm and clear-headed, and that they sleep better that night.
Head and scalp
Head Massage Coventry
Head massages involve gentle, circular movements on the scalp to help you relax and release tension, and many clients find it leaves them with a real sense of calm.
Scalp massages, on the other hand, are more focused on the area of the head where the hair grows. By gently massaging the scalp, tension can be relieved and stress eased, and most people find it deeply relaxing.
Head, neck and shoulder massage
If most of your tension sits in your neck and shoulders, we can spend more of the session there. Many clients combine head massage with deep tissue work on the neck and shoulders for comprehensive upper body tension relief.

What's the difference between a standard head massage and an Indian head massage?
The primary difference between a standard head massage and an Indian head massage lies in their techniques and underlying philosophies. A standard head massage typically focuses on the scalp, temples, and neck to relieve tension and promote relaxation, often using gentle kneading and circular motions. In contrast, Indian head massage, or "Champi," is rooted in Ayurvedic practices and encompasses a wider range of techniques that not only target the head but also the shoulders, neck, and upper back. Indian head massage often incorporates deep tissue work and acupressure points, drawing on the Ayurvedic idea of balancing the body’s energy. An Indian head massage can include oils to nourish the scalp and hair, making it a uniquely holistic experience focused on well-being.
Is Champissage advisable when pregnant?
Champissage, or Indian head massage, is generally considered safe during pregnancy. Many expectant mothers find this type of massage beneficial for relaxation and alleviating tension in the neck, shoulders, and scalp.
If you are pregnant, please let me know when you book so I can adapt the session for you.
