This massage certification also involves learning some of the strategies involved in performing a good massage treatment. The combination of these techniques and strategies works towards an overall goal of the total release of all tension in the muscles of the body and the opening up of the channels or meridians through which the chi (life force) flows.more info Massage Diploma CourseThe Massage Diploma course is a 5-day intensive massage course following the 5 days of the Massage Certificate program with more exceptional packed information. Day 1 of the massage diploma course will involve a role play of a full practitioner/client interaction from taking a case history to doing a full massage to suit the client’s needs within a certain length of time. There will be a valuable discussion period after this treatment where any areas that a student needs to improve will be highlighted. This will give the student an idea of the areas that they need to focus on in the next 4 days of the course. more infoAdvanced Massage DiplomaThe Advanced Diploma is for graduates of the Diploma course or for graduates of the Certificate course who also have a lot of practical experience.
This course teaches students to increase their diagnostic and treatments skills to make their treatments even more effective and transformative. The main focus of this course is the stimulation of chi flow in the body and the release of pent up emotional material.more info Shiatsu & Thai MassageThis 5 day Intensive Certificate Course covers fundamental aspects of Shiatsu and how to give a full shiatsu treatment as well as some Thai massage techniques which will complement your Shiatsu training. Taught in the traditional style (on a futon on the floor), this course covers practical aspects of shiatsu such as stretches, acupressure points, proper use of body weight, walking on the feet, hara (belly) diagnosis, and massage, as well as theoretical aspects such as meridians, yin and yang etc.more info Massage Therapy Course RequirementsThe good thing about our massage therapy courses is that you don’t need to know anything about massage therapy before you start the course. Even so, after you’ve finished either our 5 day massage certificate course or our massage diploma course you will be able to practice as a professional massage therapist. How is that possible? How Our Courses Are ConductedEvery massage class we offer is generally focused on the 3 pillars of our practical, hands-on massage education:
Receiving massages: You can’t really become a good massage therapist without experiencing all of the massage techniques on yourself. Receiving a massage treatment will give you great insight into how each massage technique actually ‘feels’. This will help you to develop a sensitivity for the reactions and bodily cues of your future clients. Understanding your clients needs will be the key to your success as a masseuse.more info Please note: Deposits are nonrefundable. |
This course expands and elaborates upon techniques and strategies taught in the earlier courses. This course is only taught by the head of the school and founder of the Raynor Massage Style, 
Giving massages: We feel that it is very crucial that our students start massaging from the very beginning of the course. We believe that to study massage means to learn by doing. In this way one can, in a very short period of time, develop the sense of touch needed to be able to; connect to the massage recipient, detect tension in muscles and connective tissue, appreciate the energetic relationship between massage therapist and client, and begin to witness the impact of different manipulations on the body. Learning by doing is the biggest focus in any Raynor massage class.|
