Champissage

What is Champissage?

Champissage is a form of massage therapy that is simple, gentle, and noninvasive enough for almost anyone to receive. It is adapted by techniques in Ayurvedic medicine to specifically reduce strain, and tension in the head, face and neck.

What are the benefits of Champissage?

There are many benefits that can be achieved through Champissage, including the following:

• Improved circulation—this includes circulation of the lymphatic system, as well as blood flow. This increased circulation can promote healing as well as prevent many illnesses that could occur when this flow is not correct.

• Relief from pain and tension—this includes a variety of pain and tension that is associated with the head, neck and face. Champissage can help relieve such pains as eye strain, headaches, neck pain, and more.

• Scalp stimulation—not only does the scalp massage in Champissage help the patient’s head generally feel better, it can also stimulate the scalp so that it is able to grow more hair.

• Improved mental ability—this includes concentration, memory and the ability to release stress more quickly instead of retaining it within the body (this is when it will cause pain and tension).

• Relaxation—while the Champissage is limited to only a small area of the body, it is still able to bring about all over relaxation and stress relief.

What happens during a Champissage therapy session?

During a session of Champissage, the patient will most often be sitting in a massage chair with their head and neck supported (this support is necessary because Champissage is so relaxing that the patient will often fall asleep). Massage oils are not usually used during Champissage, but some practitioners or patients may prefer them and so they may be used. Clothing is not usually removed (unless Champissage is one of many massages the patient will be receiving and the others require clothing removal). Champissage alone, however, is usually performed through light clothing.

There are many benefits for patients of Champissage. If you have any pain of the upper body, including eyes, neck, head, or face, you may want to consider Champissage as a therapeutic treatment.
