Raynor Massage is a systematic and thorough massage modality that focuses on identifying and releasing physical and emotional tension stored in the body. It was developed by Australian Naturopath, Brandon Raynor, and combines elements of Ayurvedic Massage, Chinese Medicine, Reflexology, Shiatsu, and yogic breathwork.
Raynor Massage
About
Raynor Massage's primary objective is to alleviate residual tension and muscle tightness when the body is at rest, restoring it to a natural state of relaxation. The term "relax" encapsulates its essence: "re" denotes a return, and "lax" signifies looseness. Raynor Massage exemplifies deep relaxation massage. Rejecting routine approaches, I embrace the belief that each client possesses unique treatment needs.
Central to the practice is the cultivation of a heightened sense of touch and intuition for accurate diagnosis and treatment. Raynor Massage extends its focus beyond conventional areas, addressing often-neglected body parts like the abdomen, sacrum, hips, feet, hands, and head.
Raynor Massage is known for its deep tissue techniques, which involve applying pressure to release tension in the tissues. The therapist uses their hands, fingers, and elbows to work on different layers of muscle tissue and fascia.
Deep Tissue Massage
Clients typically experience both physical and mental benefits, including reduced muscle tension, increased flexibility, improved circulation, and a sense of emotional release and relaxation.
Benefits
Each session is tailored to the individual client's needs. The therapist assesses the client's body and identifies areas of tension, working on specific muscles that may be contributing to discomfort or pain.
Customised Approach
Raynor Massage practitioners encourage open communication during the session. Clients are encouraged to provide feedback about pressure, areas of focus, and any sensations they may be experiencing.
Communication
Clients are often encouraged to focus on their breath during the massage. Deep, conscious breathing can enhance the body's ability to release tension and promote relaxation.
Breath Awareness
The massage aims to release not only physical tension but also stagnant energy. This can lead to a sense of emotional release and relaxation during and after the session.
Energetic Release
The therapist may conduct a postural analysis to identify patterns of tension and misalignment in the body. This information helps tailor the massage to address specific issues and promote better overall postural alignment.
Postural Analysis
Raynor Massage looks at the body as a whole, recognising that physical tension may be connected to emotional stress. The goal is to address both physical and emotional aspects to promote overall well-being.
