What is Raynor Massage?

Raynor Massage is a deep tissue therapeutic massage technique created by naturopath Brandon Raynor. As well as focusing on the muscular system of the body, it benefits the skeletal system and the subtle body energy systems of the body. The technique originates from a combination of different styles from around the world that include Therapeutic massage, Deep tissue, Ayurvedic massage, Lomi Lomi, hand and foot Reflexology, Chinese Medicine, Shiatsu and Yogic breathwork.

The goal of Raynor massage is to find and eliminate tension in the body that can otherwise lead to physical ailments and psychological imbalances. Another important concept of Raynor massage is that the source of some residual tension can be from repressed emotions or stress. Our physical and emotional bodies are connected and have powerful effects on each other, and through massage, we can free up emotional blockages and relieve stress. Deep breathing throughout the treatments will help to release repressed emotions.

We treat the body in a holistic way and recognise that one part of the body may be tight due to tension held in another area. By emphasising important parts of the body that are often neglected in other massage styles, such as the fingers, hands, abdomen, sacrum, hips, toes, feet and head, we increase the chances of freeing up blockages.

There is no specific routine to Raynor massage as we always focus on the individual needs of each client and follow bands of tension in their bodies.

Raynor Naturopathic Massage is generally recognised as one of the most powerful and effective forms of massage therapy today. Massage can bring about a whole host of long lasting physiological effects including reduced heart rate, increased blood circulation and lymph flow, lower blood pressure, relaxed muscles, improved range of motion and improved release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers. It can also treat many emotional and psychosomatic problems, and improve a person’s overall sense of well-being.
