Philosophy Behind
Our Massage Courses
Most massage therapy schools and courses in Australia, the United States
and England are designed to be between 6 months and two years long. But
does this make their class better?
Quantity does not always equal quality. Many of these massage courses are
filled with hundreds of hours of learning scientific jargon that is not
relevant to the real world practice of massage. When a person wants to
study massage therapy they must ask what does it take to be a good massage
therapist?
Is a good therapist someone who can recite
Latin anatomical jargon while talking to a patient/client or is a good
massage therapist someone who can help people alleviate some problem that
they have and/or generally make them feel better.
In this way we must look at what is the goal of massage therapy and then
we must judge all training based on whether that training is going to help
us achieve that goal. In other words a person may do 500 or 5000 hours of
training but how relevant is the training that a person does?
There are two distinct goals of massage therapy. The first is to produce a
nice relaxing feeling while receiving the massage treatment. Usually
Swedish massage, lymphatic drainage and some types of Beauty Therapy
massage fit into this category. The other goal of massage therapy is to
alleviate tension in the muscles of the body, increase the circulation of
blood and lymph and in the Eastern forms of acupressure massage
philosophy, to increase the flow of chi (life force) through the
meridians.
Therefore when choosing a school at which to study, a prospective student
should consider whether the particular courses that they are going to
study will aid in these goals and what is the quickest and most cost
effective and interesting way to achieve the goal of becoming an excellent
massage therapist. Brandon Raynor is a world innovator in massage and
naturopathic training courses. His school, Brandon Raynor’s School of
Natural Therapies has been instrumental in making massage training
programs more relevant to the actual needs of becoming an excellent
massage therapist.
