The Raynor Massage Method

A Practical System for Understanding and Releasing Tension

Raynor Massage focuses on finding and releasing residual tension throughout the whole body, rather than simply following a routine or treating one painful area in isolation.

Whole-Body Connection

Tension in one area can affect movement, comfort, and restriction elsewhere in the body.

The 12 Bands of Tension

Students learn Raynor's unique system of tension bands linking the hands, feet, head, and body.

Beyond Fixed Routines

Practitioners learn to feel tension and adapt each treatment to the person on the table.

Deep Release Work

The method uses deep tissue techniques, stretching, compression, and breath awareness to release chronic protective tension.
