RAYNOR MASSAGE - TREATMENT SUMMARY:

Raynor Naturopathic Massage (RNM) is a system of bodywork which treats people in a holistic manner and is suitable for anyone regardless of age, gender, or fitness level. You do not need to be very fit and active to benefit from this Therapy.

The Goal of Raynor Naturopathic Massage is to treat residual tensions and system blockages in the physical and subtle body and remove them by applying pressure to the Bands of Tension which run through the body. Often a cause of residual muscle tension can be stress or anxiety related and RNM can help resolve these.

RNM covers not just the muscular systems but works to refresh the energy systems of the body, drawing inspiration and practices from Traditional Eastern Therapies (see ‘Origins’ below for more info.)

It has proven effective for treating sore and stiff & sore muscles after gym / working out / running; back pain, general stiffness, insomnia,

Reflexology is a key element in the Massage therapy. The soles of the feet have over a thousand nerve endings, and foot massage is very beneficial to your vitality and your health in general. I spend more time massaging hands, feet, and head in the one hundred minutes massage session.

Knots in muscles are painful or tender spots in the muscle tissue that feel tight and sore. The painful point can be felt as a nodule or band in the muscle and can develop for several reasons: by inflammation of the fascia - the thin layer of connective tissue that surrounds the muscle; by intense exercise; muscle strain, overuse; poor posture; sleeping in an uncomfortable position; stress or anxiety. The Raynor Massage Therapist will find and remove these using RNM treatment.

DRAPING

All clients, male and female, are fully draped throughout the massage session with a large light fleecy blanket, to protect the client's privacy and modesty.

The draping is moved to allow massage to take place on the specific area to be worked on - e.g., back, arms and hands, legs, feet (Reflexology). For areas of the body such as the Glutes, with permission of the client, massage can take place through the draping.

UNDERLYING PRINCIPLES:

Raynor Naturopathic Massage is a holistic system of bodywork developed by Naturopath Brandon Raynor. Its origins are in Ayurvedic Massage, Chinese Medicine, Reflexology, Shiatsu and Yoga breath work.

There is a special emphasis on the Eastern medical theory that the physical body is a gross manifestation of a subtle body composed of a life force (chi or prana), emotions and other subtle energies, and that each are related and influence each other.

Physical or emotional stressors can lead to a blockage or disruption in the flow of chi or prana that can then cause muscles to tighten and bones to shift out of place or create tension in the body.

Raynor Naturopathic Massage Bands may overlap with some of these, the distinguishing feature of Raynor Bands is that the bands can be physically traced and often seen within the body.

Raynor massage is one of the most advanced massage therapy styles in the world. The primary goal of Raynor Naturopathic Massage is to relieve a person of residual tension, or muscle tightness in an area of the body when the body is at rest and return the body to its’ natural state of relaxation. The word “relax” literally means to bring back to a state of looseness. “Re” means to bring back to and “lax” means loose, whereby Raynor massage is a form of deep relaxation massage.

In addition, we believe that massage should not be performed in a routine manner, as each client has their own specific treatment needs. This is why the development of the Therapist's sense of touch and intuition is equally important in Raynor Naturopathic Massage, to properly diagnose and treat a client.

Raynor Naturopathic Massage also concentrates on parts of the body that are often neglected by traditional or Swedish massage therapists, such as the abdomen, sacrum, hips, feet, hands and head. These areas tend to hold a lot of stagnation and blockage of the life force, and freeing them up will generally be of great benefit, not just to the areas concerned, but to the whole Being.
