Hindi: Champii, Champi

What does "champi" चंपी mean in Hindi? Is it some type of head message?

Champissage (possibly a portmanteau of chāmpi, the Hindi term for the practice, and massage[1]), also known as an Indian head massage is a trademarked term for an alternative medicine massage therapy. In champissage, the head, neck and face are massaged with the purpose of manipulating energy channels.[2] The goal is to clear blocks in these energy channels that cause a build-up of negative energy that are purported to cause ailments.
