Indian head massage, as the name suggests, originates in India but has grown popular in Western cultures due to its simplicity and its ability to be performed anywhere and everywhere.
Also known as Champissage, Indian head massage mainly uses circular massage strokes to focus on massaging acupressure points along the head, neck, and shoulders.
You’ll gain essential knowledge of anatomy, massage techniques and components, and how to conduct a client consultation, allowing you to expand your services.
