I dinstincly remember one woman who gave me direct feedback during the Indian head massage treatment about a specific champissage technique that gave her a feeling of relief. In particular, she loved having her head compressed (squeeze and lift) a lot -- fully 5 minutes. It seemed to release the feeling of pressure and tension in her head. When doing the squeeze and lift technique make sure that the hair isn't moving while doing it. Also, not a Champissage technique, but really effective for her was to apply firm to deep pressure along the base of the skull (occipital ridge). I chose from 3 to 5 different points on both the right side and the left side. Sometimes these points are very tender/sensitive. But, having them release, can often help dissolve the neck and scalp tension that is contributing to the headache. Let me know what you think on facebook (champissageusa) or if you have other insights. Hope this helps. Several of my clients experience headaches.
