What are the requirements for the Raynor massage therapy courses?

Our massage training courses are all hands on and practical. People come to our courses from all different walks of life, often as a career change. We have people with lots of academic qualifications and others with none. Likewise so people will have worked within the massage industry before and others will have never given a massage. None of this matters; our courses are based on instruction from one of our experienced teachers and giving and receiving massage. We do not have any set entry requirements apart from a desire to learn and to heal through your massage.

In our massage therapy courses we teach you the essence of massage – only those aspects that you really need to be able to address people’s unique situation, our massage courses focus on the practical aspects, rather than the theoretical aspects, of massage.

There are many massage therapy schools that put great emphasis on learning Latin words and other things that you will never really need to know in order to give a great, effective massage but our massage courses are different.

We know that you will only be able to have success as a massage therapist if your hands have the power to heal. That’s why learning by doing is the most important part of your training for us.

Even if you are already trained in massage or already working as a professional massage therapist, the Brandon Raynor‘s massage therapy courses will deepen your understanding of the energetic structure of the body and enrich your work with a variety of different and unique massage techniques.

For those who like to study massage theory, we will provide a comprehensive course manual and you can read more about the philosophy behind the courses in the following articles by Brandon Raynor: What is Raynor massage, What is Chi and the Body as Elements.

For those who learn visually and who want to refresh their memory from time to time, we provide you with a training dvd as part of your course materials. If you have specific learning needs or need adapted material, please complete our contact form and let us know what your requirements are and we will work with you to make the training accessible to you.
