Raynor Massage is generally recognised as one of the most powerful and effective forms of massage available
today. it goes well beyond the realms of what most people consider to be the confines of a massage treatment.
It is a system of bodywork developed by Australian Naturopath Brandon Raynor and has evolved from a combination of different
styles from around the world that include: shiatsu,Therapeutic,Deep tissue,Acupressure , Ayurvedic, Swedish , Hawaiian , Remedial/sports
, and hand and foot Reflexology.
Raynor massage is not performed as a routine massage , although we do have particular
techniques, stretches and adjustments. Instead the goal of Raynor massage is to find any residual tension or blockage within
the body and get rid of it !

Residual tension is the tension in your
body when it is at rest ie. On the massage table. In other words if a person has muscle tightness in an area when they are
not using it, this is what we call residual tension and our aim is to get rid of it.Another important concept of Raynor massage
is that the source of some of the residual tension in the body can be from emotional or stress related reasons. In Raynor
massage we do not believe that dealing with one part of the body in isolation is as effective as dealing with the body as
a whole. So, in this way we recognise that one part of the body might be tight but that area is being held by another are
which in turn could be being held by another and so on. We also recognise that the subtle body of emotions and the physical
body are related and so some tension may not be got rid of unless the corresponding emotion is released.
certain extremely important areas of the
body are often neglected by traditional massage therapists such as the abdomen, the sacrum, the hips , hands , feet and head
tend to hold a lot of stagnation and blockage and freeing them up will generally have a great benefit not just to the area
concerned but to the whole being. Raynor massage always emphasises not just that a massage should feel good but that
it should get rid of the tension. In fact , for some people a good massage may be very uncomfortable if they are not used
to it,but after the massage they should feel much better, have increased mobility and a general feeling of being more relaxed.

These days massage is becoming more widely
recognised as a Holistic Therapy and not for just being pampered and feeling good.It can bring about a whole host of long
lasting physiological effects such as reduced heart rate and blood pressure , increased blood circulation and lymph flow,
relaxed muscles and improved release of endorphins ( the body's natural pain killers ). It can also treat many psychosomatic
problems and improve a persons overall we The word Relax actually means to bring back to a state of looseness. RE meaning
to bring back and LAX meaning loose. So Raynor massage is actually a form of deep relaxing massage.
