The style of massage that we employ, Raynor Massage, is not just a regular massage routine. As well as the conventional areas that most massage therapists deal with such as the back, the legs and the arms, our massage style goes extensively into massaging parts of the body such as the feet, the hands, the face, the front of the legs, the abdomen and the chest. We also use the Oriental meridian system that connects the various areas of the body. This means that by working an acupressure point on the foot this could then have a reflex action on another area of the body. Following the meridians or bands of tension in the body will help relax another area of the body.
Another unique aspect of Raynor massage, which has made it so popular, is the ability to relieve deep seated emotional conditions that many people hold in their body. This idea that emotional blockages can be stored in the body is a fundamental concept in both Chinese medicine and Ayurvedic medicine, the traditional medicine of India . It is also well recognised in the folklore of western society by the common expressions such as "it gave me knots in my stomach", “my stomach twisted”. There is an increased awareness of how stress can cause headaches, indigestion, insomnia, ulcers and a whole host of other problems.
This technique can play an important part in helping solve a lot of today's common health problems including bad backs, migraines, chronic fatigue, depression, indigestion, knee problems, neck problems, moodiness, drug, alcohol, gambling and tobacco addictions, repressed anger, lymphatic problems, poor sporting performance, and many other problems of a physical and emotional nature.
