5 Day Massage Certificate Course

This 5 day Massage Certificate Course is a very intensive full 5 days, which focuses on practical “hands-on” techniques drawn from many of the world’s great traditions, or created by Brandon Raynor himself. 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.

Day One

During the morning of the first day of the Massage Certificate Course, the teacher will cover theory such as the history of massage and the different types of massage, contraindications to massage, how to take a case history, hygiene, draping, professional ethics, qualities of a good massage therapist, the different types of base oils used in massage and the properties of a good massage table.

This will be followed by a demonstration of massage techniques and strategies to loosen up tension and blocked energy in the back, massage techniques for the back of the legs, buttocks, feet, arms and hands. You will also be shown the “bands” of tension that make these areas interconnected. In the afternoon, students will be asked to pair up and commence working on each other under the supervision of our teacher.

Hi Brandon,

Firstly, THANKYOU! I have just completed the most incredible 2 weeks of my life. I cannot put into words how greatly I have benefited from doing your massage course. Not only have I gained an incredible skill, the changes that have occurred in my own life through receiving your style of massage, has been profound.

I have always been very Spiritual, and that is the best way to describe the massage. I feel so rejuvenated, not only physically, but most importantly, Spiritually and emotionally.

I am bursting at the seams, I want everyone to experience this 'phenomenon'. The structure of your courses were brilliant, the amount I learned, I'm still amazed. I have studied in so many different areas, and I must say, your course has by far been the most thorough, beneficial, well organized and enjoyable. Full credit to Brett. What an incredible teacher. There was not one student in our class that was not totally amazed and forever changed through Brett's gift of healing and teaching. THANKYOU Brett. I wish all the blessings I received to be returned to you, Brett, and your families and colleagues. I am really looking forward to participating in an advanced course at the end of the year.

Warmest Regards,
Lee.

Day Two

On Day 2, the teacher will cover massage theories associated with the release of tension in the front of the body, especially the abdominal area and the head. Many people store emotional tension in their bellies as revealed by common expressions such as “it gave me knots in my stomach” or “I felt that in my guts”.

All theory associated with emotional releases will be introduced early in the second day of the course, followed in the afternoon by students practicing these techniques on each other. Each day students are encouraged to pair up with different partners, in order to get experience working with a variety of body types. Some revision of the previous days work will also be covered, along with discussion on the concept of the release of toxins in the body and the natural therapies term the “healing crisis” and what it means.

Day Three

On Day 3, the teacher will cover a side position that we use to release deep seated tension in the sacral area, which when released can help loosen up higher areas in the back, neck and cranial (head) areas - this same position is also used for pregnancy massage. We also introduce some important stretches from shiatsu and Thai massage that make up part of Raynor massage.

Day Four

Day 4 is spent combining the techniques performed in the last 3 days to perform a complete massage and spent examining how the tension in the muscles on the front of the body can hold the muscles on the back of the body tight. Revision of all previous covered areas will also be done today.
