| The
Raynor Technique of Therapeutic Massage - Certificate |
Our massage school
offers a very intensive massage therapy training course.
In five full days of practical, 'hands-on' massage training
you will learn everything you need to become an outstanding
masseuse. The techniques taught are drawn from many of
the world's great traditions, or created by Brandon Raynor
himself.
The combination of these therapeutic massage practices
work toward releasing tension in the body's muscles and
opening the channels or meridians through which the chi
(life force) flows. |
|
Day 1:
Massage Theory, History and Massage Therapy Techniques
and Strategies
|
 |
| On
of the first day of the massage course,
the teacher will cover subjects such as
the history of massage, different types
of massage, contraindications to massage,
how to take a case history, hygiene, draping,
professional ethics, qualities of a good
massage therapist, the different types of
base oils used in massage, and the properties
of a good massage table.
|
|
|
Following
the lecture, there will be a demonstration on massage
procedures and strategies to loosen tension and blocked
energy in the back, the back of the legs, buttocks,
feet, arms, and hands. Your massage instructor will
indicate the positions of the 'bands' of tension interconnecting
these areas.
In the afternoon class, students will pair up and commence
working on each other under the supervision of a teacher.
|
|
Day 2:
Massage Theories - Release of Tension in the Front of
the Body
|
 |
|
On Day two, the teacher will cover massage theories
associated with the release of tension in
the front of the body, especially the abdominal
area and the head.
This session discusses how people may store
emotional tension in their bellies, as common
expressions suggest: 'it gave me knots in
my stomach'.
|
|
|
Many
conditions, when combined with proper breathing, can
be helped by 'The Raynor Technique' which releases emotional
tension stored in the abdominal area. These include,
Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Ulcers, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome,
Menstrual problems, etc.
In the afternoon, following theory instruction, students
practice these techniques on each other.
|
Days 4 and 5:
Review of Days 1 To 3 of Your Massage Education and Practical
Assessment |
 |
|
Day
four is spent combining the massage skill
taught in the last three days. A complete
massage is performed, examining how the
tension in the muscles on the front of the
body can hold the muscles on the back of
the body tight.
On the afternoon of Day five, the massage
instructor will |
|
|
conduct
a practical assessment to make sure that students understand
the massage concepts taught. |
Each
day of the education, students are encouraged to pair
up with different partners, in order to get experience
working with a variety of body types.
Some revision of the previous day's massage class will
also be covered, along with discussion on the concept
of the release of toxins in the body and the natural
therapies term the 'healing crisis' and what it means.
