Holistic Style of Massage

By taking a holistic approach to massage, we recognize that physical pain and tension may have an emotional cause as well. In most Asian systems of medicine the life force or chi, ki, prana or sen (depending on the tradition) flows through subtle energy lines called meridians, nadis, or sen lines.  When these subtle energy channels become blocked then pain, stress, tension or organ dysfunction occurs on the energy lines. Brandon Raynor, a Naturopath with extensive oriental medical training,   has refined these modalities and created a new system called Raynor massage.  This is largely based on what he calls bands of tension, which are the physical manifestation of subtle energy channels.

We train our practitioners to track where the tension is held and to then free up the bands that are causing that area to be tight. In so doing we trace tension down to the tips of the fingers and toes, or in the head and release  the tension from its roots. You will learn this ancient wisdom which shares many similarities with how practitioners of acupuncture and acupressure understand how chi, or energy, moves through the body. To learn more about this please see the following articles written by Brandon Raynor; What is Raynor massage, and What is Chi.

How are Raynor Massage classes different?

Raynor Massage courses are short and intensive to allow the trainee practitioner to learn massage quickly, effectively and cost efficiently. They are designed for mature students who cant spend two or three years in college. In our hands-on courses, you will be massaging from day one under the close supervision of one of our expert instructors who will provide individual feedback on ways to improve your technique. In addition, you will be receiving massages throughout the course and come to understand the profound impact and deep relaxation of a Raynor Massage treatment.

We usually run these courses consecutively, in all other locations except Ontario,  so it is possible to take both courses one after the other, or you can take the Certificate course and gain some experience before returning to complete the Diploma course. Upon completion of both the Certificate and Diploma, you can then take our Advanced Practitioner’s Diploma Course.

Our Raynor massage courses in Toronto will also equip you with the knowledge of how to approach massage in a holistic manner. You will learn how to accurately identify physical ailments and their corresponding origins to get to the root of the problems,  in order to effectively assist the client in returning to a state of wellness.  In addition, our massage courses will teach you how to develop a heightened sense of touch and intuitive treatment to provide a powerful and deeply relaxing massage.  Raynor Massage is also effective in treating a wide range of problems including anxiety, depression, deep seated emotional disturbances, stress and can assist in healing back pain, various injuries, repetitive strain injury, pinched nerves, sciatica, muscular spasms, aches, pain, stiffness, migraines, arthritis, scoliosis, and some forms of immobility.  You can read more of this in the article What is Health.
