The Californian massage

The Californian massage
Originating, as the name suggests, in California, Californian massage is a technique
whose popularity has continued to grow. In the United States or in Europe (where it is
also called sensitive massage), it fully meets the needs of clients looking to achieve
effective and lasting relief of tension though deep relaxation, but also and most
importantly to harmonize their entire being. Californian is the stress-busting
massage par excellence.

The Session
History
The rudiments of this massage technique were set out in the 1970s during a personal
growth workshop at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California. More than just a
means of relaxation, this massage technique was intended to give the recipient a
chance to reconnect with his or her body. It initially drew people interested in a
process of internalization through massage, and for this reason Californian massage
was meant to be comforting and reassuring. It was also intended to relieve deepseated and sometimes long-standing muscle tensions. Based on these objectives, Ms.
Margareth Elke was instrumental in making Californian massage an organized
system.
As a proud descendant of Swedish massage, Californian massage borrows several
maneuvers from its Nordic counterpart, including fulling, petrissage and friction
rotations, which contribute to greater oxygenation and relieve deep tension, as well
as effleurages and gliding pressure, which promote circulation.
Applications and Effects
The softness of Californian massage is not meant to suggest lightness, but instead it
reflects the interaction between the massage therapist and the client.
This technique has attracted legions of converts in recent years, with a broad-based
and highly varied clientele. Men and women of all ages have turned to Californian
massage it as a tool to relieve stress. Indeed, Californian massage, for many, serves
as a means of a healing and rejuvenation.
With its emphasis on compassion and listening, Californian massage promotes the
emergence of body memory, and for this reason it can be of great help to persons
whove experienced trauma or who are in psychotherapy.
Indications and Contraindications
Although not curative, Californian massage can provide effective relief of chronic pain
to persons with fibromyalgia, arthritis and other conditions by soothing aching
muscles[TD1] and promoting a positive relationship with the body.
While there are few contraindications associated with this massage, the therapist
must ensure that the massage is geared to the needs and the condition of the client.
For example, a person cannot receive a massage if he or she has a fever or an
infectious disease, nor may a person receive a massage after a major surgical
procedure.
The Session
A Californian massage session begins with an overall assessment of the recipients
health. Whether preventive or palliative in nature, the Californian massage can
benefit anyone looking to sustain a healthy relationship with his or her body and
entire being.
With soft hands and by properly using his or her body weight and the correct

breathing, the massage therapist invites the client to let go, release his or her
muscles and rediscover his or her senses. The maneuvers are applied directly to the
skin using massage oil, and the pace and depth of the maneuvers are varied. Based
on a well defined and fluid series of maneuvers, Californian massage is characterized
by long and enveloping movements. Given in a spirit of respect for the integrity of
the individual, Californian also leaves ample room for creativity and personalization.
And though it is passive, the recipient plays an important part by being conscious of
his or her being.
