Massage Course:
10-day Diploma
The Raynor Technique of
Therapeutic Massage Diploma
This 10 day Diploma course
combines the first 5 days of the Certificate
program with 5 more exceptional information-packed days.
The course can be undertaken in one two week period, or the first 5 days
of the Certificate program can be completed first and the remaining 5 days
completed some time in the future.
For the description of the first 5 days of this course see Certificate
course information.
Day 6 of the 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.
 On
Day 7, the teacher will introduce the use of aromatherapy oils to the
massage treatment. He/she will cover the use of 8 to 10 commonly used
aromatherapy oils, how to diagnose which ones are suitable for particular
clients and their contraindications. You will then explore their use
during practice with both deep tissue massage and also lighter massage.
Day 8 of the course will lay emphasis on the reflexology areas of the feet
and also the hands. You will explore the importance of the feet and hands
in massage and how they affect and benefit the whole treatment. The zone
theory of reflexology and the use of reflexology charts will also be
discussed.
Day 9 of the course will concentrate on the specific aspects of face and
scalp massage and the use of acupressure points in the head to help
alleviate stress, tension, headaches, neck problems and the relationship
between releasing tension in the head and the effect this has in helping
release the emotional tension stored in the belly and chest.
Day 10 of the Diploma will involve any final revision necessary, as well
as a 50 point assessment which will grade each student on the following
qualities: empathy, communication, techniques, professionalism, correct
pressure, and overall effect. The students will also be graded on their
understanding of the role of the patient in 3 categories of communication,
understanding the importance of breathing with a practitioner, and proper
understanding and appreciation of the benefits of massage.
This course also involves between 20 and 40 hours of take-home work as
well, and will involve a written test on aspects of professional practice
such as hygiene, professional ethics, the meridians of acupressure,
contraindications and the strategies of massage treatment covered during
the course.
