Raynor massage has the goal of finding every tight muscle in the body and loosening it, and with that, unblocking the flow of chi in the body.  It utilises massage and natural healing techniques from across the world to achieve that goal.

Hello Brandon,This is feedback from a client who had receiv
ed a Raynor Massage from one of our practitioners:

I just had to write you and thank you. Thank you in the biggest way possible, that perhaps words cannot express in the manner that I wish. Thank you for developing a massage that embodies all practices and in such an intuitive method. I have just met a local angel who gives massages as trained by you (and Terry).

To back up, I am a yoga instructor. I have been trained through the Yoga Association of Alberta, but moreover, trained by some amazing talented yogis who see yoga moving more into the emotional heart space of dissolving the tensions in the body through “breakthroughs”, and pushing past the barriers and releasing blockages (emotional, physical, psychological) through yoga. I had been told about Clare for a while in yoga, having a few students say: You have to meet Clare and have her do bodywork on you.

I’ve been to alot of bodywork workshops and had alot of bodywork done on me in the past 14 years. I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis after my daughter was born, and have been on a healing journey ever since. I’ve lost most flexion in my wrists and a tiny erosion in my right arm is blocking some movement in my elbow. Otherwise, a good remission for the past 6 or so years.

No one has reached the depth of release in my body than Clare with your Raynor Method. All bodyworkers are scared to go deep
 in my body because of the RA. And it is what I needed!!!! I have only had 2 – 3 hour treatments with Clare, and it is so amazing, so compatible and familiar (like yoga) and what I’ve discovered is too much to write here. I discover things about my old soul in this earthbound body frequently in meditation or on the mat, but Clare gets me there in succinct fashion as well.

Its amazing, thank you. And If I thought my hands were strong enough, I might take the training too!!! It is profound, and I’ve spent thousands on bodywork over the years, and you, your method is what the world needs. Unconfined, from the intuitive trained wise heart, amazing!

I hope I get the chance to hug you in person someday.
Journey forward, there is so much light support for you.
Be well, take gentle care.
Shanti.
Holly

The goal of a good massage is to find any chronic muscle tension, which exists even when the person is relaxed, and to get rid of it. In Eastern styles of massage there is also a central goal to develop sensitivity to the flow of the chi, or life force, through the body and to open up the various channels through which it flows and remove any blockages. Raynor massage combines these two goals offering a holistic and highly effective treatment.

Along with the development of its own unique techniques, Raynor Massage adapted techniques from many styles of massage, including; therapeutic and remedial massage, deep tissue massage, reflexology, Shiatsu massage, Lomi Lomi (Hawaiian massage), Tui Na, Acupressure, Thai and Swedish massage and integrated the most effective parts of these treatments. In this way, we have developed a very powerful and focused style of both massage and teaching.

Our Courses

Raynor Massage Certificate Course

5 full days of intensive "hands-on" massage training

We run 5 day workshops in Raynor Massage in more than 20 locations worldwide. The massage courses run from 9 am to 5pm from Monday to Friday. Our 5 day Massage Certificate Course teaches the basic essence of Raynor massage including all the major parts of the body including the abdominal area. We are massaging from Day 1 of the course and very little time is spent in a non practical way after the 3 hour introductory talk that covers contraindications, hygiene, professional ethics and other aspects of theory associated with Raynor massage. The rest of the massage course is spent either massaging, being massaged or watching the teacher demonstration and talk through a Raynor bodywork treatment. Many people can't believe how good they feel just from receiving the massage aspect of this massage certificate course especially if they have volunteered for a demonstration treatment from one of our teachers.

How the Brandon Raynor Massage School has grown into one of the biggest and best worldwide schools.

We have been teaching massage in Australia since 1997 and worldwide since 2002. Today, as well as teaching in all major cities of Australia we have expanded into major cities of Canada, the US, England, Ireland, South Africa, and New Zealand.

For more information please see the articles what is Raynor massage, What is Chi and the Body as Elements by Brandon Raynor.

This shows the success of what started as an Australian small business! The reason that we have been this successful is not just fantastic massage but also excellent customer satisfaction. Our school has survived and prospered because of its happy customers. People who have chosen to learn massage from our school have gone on to open successful businesses all over the world and go on to refer other interested people back to our school.

As well as the conventional areas that most massage therapists deal with such as the back, the legs and the arms, our therapy style goes extensively into massaging parts of the body such as the feet, the hands, the face, the front of the legs, the abdomen and the chest. We also show you how the various Oriental meridian systems connects the various parts of the body. This means that by working an acupressure point on the foot this could then have a reflex action on another area of the body. Following the meridians or bands of tension in the body will help relax another area of the body.

Another unique aspect of Raynor massage, which has made it so popular, is the ability to relieve deep seated emotional conditions that many people hold in their body. This idea that emotional blockages can be stored in the body is a fundamental concept in both Chinese medicine and Ayurvedic medicine, the traditional medicine of India. It is also well recognized in the folklore of Western society by the common expressions such as "it gave me knots in my stomach", "my stomach twisted". There is an increased awareness of how stress can cause headaches, indigestion, insomnia, ulcers and a whole host of other problems. The concept of mind – body medicine is at the forefront of current inquiries in Western medicine. Our technique of massage brings this extremely important and powerful field of medicine to the general public and allows practitioners to help friends, family and the general community.

Instead of teaching exactly how he had been taught massage by first learning lots of anatomy and physiology and then learning first a basic Swedish massage routine followed by completing a Shiatsu course at another college and then doing further study elsewhere, Brandon and his teachers teach the style of treatment exactly as they do it now. Brandon wasn't going to teach anything that he wasn't currently using in his practice believing that if he didn't remember and use a technique or a term then it obviously wasn't useful and he wasn't going to teach his students that. From the first day of his course he is teaching hands on techniques and acupressure points and doing so in a down to earth and simple way. He didn't use complex terminology to describe the body or even to describe acupressure points. Instead he would just show people how to massage the body and how different areas of the body connect. He and his teachers show how one point affects another and people experience at first hand the effectiveness of the treatment and learn to do it themselves. He runs all of his training courses as experiential learning workshops. In this way people also see the healing process evolve in themselves and the other course participants.

Our courses are open to people between the ages of 16 to 75 and there are no prerequisites to do our course, just a desire to learn and a desire to help others through massage. Our courses can involve emotional transformations in people that do require a certain mature perspective on emotional matters.

We also offer Naturopathy courses by correspondence. This course centres on both Eastern and Western approaches to natural medicine and has a strong emphasis on wholefood nutrition, herbal medicine from all over the world, flower essences, Ayurveda, Chinese Medicine and Iridology.

Massage Student Testimonial

I have just completed day 3 of the Diploma Course. Words cannot express this experience.

Eight years ago I had a crushed L6, I am one of a few that have this, removed, as well as a stenosis and 2 ruptured discs fused. Since this procedure, I have "protected" this area. If a massage therapist applied any pressure to this area, there was immediate pain radiating to a headache.

These past 8 days, Terry Masson, the Instructor for this course has totally changed my thoughts on "processing" pain. My sacral area is no longer painful and tight., I can move about and stretch in a way that I have not been able to for years.

Thank you Brandon for having the insight and compassion to create this method of healing. I am also thankful for Terry Masson and his passion for this method of healing and his desire to make a difference in people's lives for the better.

I feel very priveledged to be a part of this amazing phenomenom, and cannot wait to start sharing with others the Brandon Raynor Massage!
