Holistic Therapies, Reiki in Macclesfield
The Hindi word for head massage is "Champi" and aspects of the treatment have a long tradition in Indian families where mothers would stroke their daughter’s hair and massage their scalps to promote growth and health.
Narendra Mehta - blind from the age of one - grew up in India and head massage was an integral part of his life. He came to England in the 1970s to train as a physical therapist and in 1978 returned to India to study the benefits and practice of champissage, extending it to include neck, shoulders and face. On his return to England, he developed a sequence of movements for the procedure. There is no right or wrong way and sequence of movements may vary from one therapist to another.
The treatments involves massage and acupressure techniques on upper back, shoulders, arms/hands, neck, scalp and face. This relaxes tense areas but, at the same time, helps to rebalance the energy, clearing any areas of negativity.
The client, fully clothed but with shoulder area bared, sits in a massage chair for the treatment. The therapist uses a range of different movements including application of deep kneading and compression movements over the neck, shoulder and scalp areas. In addition, the therapist will also gently stimulate and stroke pressure points on the face. Aromatherapy oils may also be used both on the skin and in the hair after discussion with the client and careful selection. The session will usually last around 60 minutes, and it is beneficial for clients to sit quietly for a few minutes once the massage has been completed.
Indian head massage is especially good for relieving stress, tension, fatigue, insomnia, headaches, migraine and sinusitis. Clients report that the experience is deeply calming and relaxing, leaving them feeling energised and revitalised and better able to concentrate.
Indian head massage helps increase joint mobility and flexibility in the neck and shoulders, improves blood circulation and lymphatic flow, frees knots of muscular tension, relaxes connective tissue, and aids in the elimination of accumulated toxins and waste products. It is particularly good for reducing the effects of stress and tension.
Following a treatment some clients experience tiredness, dizziness, an increased desire to urinate (as the body eliminates toxins and waste materials) or aching muscles. All of these side effects usually last for no more than a few hours, after which clients generally experience increased energy and alertness.
Indian head massage should be avoided if you have had recent surgery, or a head or neck injury; a history of thrombosis or embolism; spondylitis or spondylosis.
For anyone with high/low blood pressure or diabetes, Indian head massage is particularly good and can also help to reduce the effects of stress and tension epilepsy, however if you have any kind of heart condition, cancer or osteoporosis, please talk to your doctor before arranging a treatment. It is recommended that alcohol is avoided for at least five hours before the treatment.

Unfortunately, in 2007 I found out that I had developed Osteo arthritis in my right shoulder which had been dislocating for over ten years.Two reconstruction operations and over two years of rehab later and I'm on the mend.The pain during my recovery was sometimes unbearable and prescribed painkillers often wouldn't even stop the toothache like pain, that I suffered in the shoulder joint.Bev offered me some Reiki sessions whilst chatting at a party to see if she could help.At first, I was a little sceptical as to whether it would help me, If the strong painkillers wouldn't numb it how could Reiki? After the first session, which was a wonderfully relaxing experience, I went a week without any pain at all.I didn't feel any changes straight away, I got the relief from the joint pain about 12-24hrs after the session. I had a further 4 session when I was really struggling between the two operations and each time there was a marked improvement in my condition.If, like me, you suffer from similar aches and pains, then give Reiki a go, it may be just what you need.Thanks BevDan Coates, Macclesfield
