Champi (head massage) has been practised for over a thousand years in India as a tradition of family grooming. Originally developed by women who used different oils according to the season to keep their hair strong, lustrous and in beautiful condition. Barbers practised many of the same skills when going to individual’s houses to cut hair, they would often offer Champi as part of the treatment.

The technique is highly favoured among Indian women who believe that regular head massage with natural vegetable oils keeps their long hair strong and healthy.

Champissage was developed by Narendra Mehta who, although blinded from the age of one, is an accomplished Osteopath, Physiotherapist and Massage Therapist. Mr Mehta came to London to study Physiotherapy during the 1970’s and was dismayed to discover that massage treatments always stopped at the neck, even full body massage!

In 1978, he decided to return to India and research head massage wherever it was practised. During his journey, he found the methods used varied from person to person. The barbers would concentrate on his scalp, while his mother and her women friends focused on treating the hair. In addition, everyone who worked with him had his or her own individual technique, which had been handed down and developed through the generations. Mr Mehta decided to begin to formalise what he was experiencing and used the knowledge of his massage training to discover which part of his body reacted most positively to various moves. Because of his blindness his other senses are very finely tuned and he was able to concentrate with complete absorption on the effect the massage was having. By this means Narendra Mehta was able to devise a therapy that would bring the greatest relief to the multitude of problems concentrated in the head and soon concluded that the therapy would benefit by being extended to include not only the head but also the neck, shoulders and upper arms.

Narendra Mehta has continued to develop and expand his techniques over the years. One of the most important developments being the introduction of an Ayurvedic element of chakra energy balancing and the extension of the massage element to include massage of the face and ears to enhance the overall effect.
