RAYNOR MASSAGE THERAPY

The primary goal of Raynor Massage is to relieve a person of residual tension and muscle tightness in all areas of the body and allow it to return to its natural state of relaxation.

The word 'relax' literally means to bring back to a state of looseness. Raynor Massage is a form of deep relaxation massage and should not be performed in a routine manner, as each client has their own specific treatment needs. This is why the development of one's sense of touch and intuition is equally important in Raynor Naturopathic Massage in order to properly diagnose and treat a client. It also concentrates on parts of the body that are often neglected by traditional massage therapists such as the abdomen, sacrum, hips, feet, hands and head. These areas tend to hold a lot of stagnation and blockage and freeing them up will generally have a great benefit not just to the areas concerned but to the whole being. 

​

Raynor Naturopathic Massage is a holistic system of bodywork developed by Naturopath Brandon Raynor. It's origins are in Ayuervedic Massage, Chinese Medicine, Lomi Lomi, 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 compared of a life force (chi or prana), emotions and other subtle energies, and that each are related and have any effect on each other. Physical or emotional stressors can lead to a blockage or distruption in the flow of chi or prana can cause muscles to tighten and bones to shift out of place or create tension in the body. 

​

At Alife Massage, we work under these medical theories to release your body of tension and stress and allow it return to a natural state of relaxation.
