Shoulder massage, back, arm and hand massage - Brandon Raynor Massage DVD Intro

[fustyans]

Does this type of massage have a particular name, because thats exactly what I need?

Ive watched many other vids and they just seem to be gently stroking but this is what id call a real massage :-)

[johnsmdm]

the single greatest massage of the extensor carpi radialis brevis..."tennis elbow" that I've seen on youtube...from 7:11 to 7:55...the torn fibers are endemic to the human species after time....at the exact spot....

As a trained massage therapist from Canada with a full 2280 hour diploma, I find this video disturbing. It goes against all that I am trained in. I am open to new ideas but everything this "practitioner" did goes against all the protocols and safety I have been educated with. I am glad that the beginning says this is not for educational purposes. It makes me wonder what training he has had.

[brandonraynor]

@ajbaker617

Actually I have had way more training than 2280 hours. I did 4 years of Naturopathy, 18 months of shiatsu, 2 years of Chinese Medicine and 2 years of Ayurvedic medicine plus 20 years of experience.

The quality of training in Canada is notoriously bad. They fill 2280 hours of training or more with lots of fear and totally neglect the studies of Eastern medicine which is where massage has a long history.

@brandonraynor in what countries do you think you get the best massages?

[brandonraynor]

@DarkWhisper07

Other than by people trained in Raynor massage i would have to say Japan

[DarkWhisper07]

@brandonraynor are you referring to shiatsu massage?

[DarkWhisper07]

@brandonraynor not to sound impolite, but do you geniunly prefer massages from people you have trained to anywhere else?

[brandonraynor]

@ajbaker617

The massage industry in Canada is so lacking in real confidence that everything they do is designed around getting the respect of the "medical profession" . They totally neglect the holistic and energy based medicine coming from the East. They teach students lots of fancy words and encourage them to be extremely arrogant. I have had many massages in Canada from so called RMTs and I found my students were usually doing better massage by day 4 of our course.

@ajbaker617

The therapists that I went to didnt even understand the importance of the feet in massage or how things connect in the body. They basically just did a deep Swedish type of massage that was so kindergarten in effectiveness.

Many of the therapists, when I asked if they studied Oriental Medicine said it was an "optional extra". Amazing how they can make a course so long and yet teach so little.

@brandonraynor

Thank You for responding so promptly. I do agree with you on many points about how massage therapy is beginning to lose it's holistic and energy base when it comes to having it legislated and accepted as a medical practice and that many therapists are not aware of oriental medicine.

I have been to your website and am not able to see where the student is given a lot of knowledge about possible disorders that they might run across when treating people.

[brandonraynor]

@ajbaker617 We dont actually cover the disorders etc on our website. These are covered in depth during a class and all of our students are encouraged to work with a client's Doctor if they have a pre existing medical condition. Of course there are thousands of medical conditions in the world some that only one or two people have so we value the relationship with a doctor for anything unusual.

[brandonraynor]

@ajbaker617

However there are different paradigms of medicine and Western medicine is not the only one, even though they had the better armies to force their ideas on the rest of the world. For example when the British invaded India and outlawed Ayurvedic medicine claiming it wasn't either scientific or they weren't Christian. In other words, they dont think like we do and of course we are a superior race so lets make their medicine, which is an intrinsic part of a culture's identity, illegal

[brandonraynor]

@ajbaker617

In Hawaii, which I believe was the first place to introduce massage laws in 1947, the laws were introduced to stop Native Hawaiian healers who had been practcing for centuries or millenium their traditional healing arts according to theri paradigm of medicine. Instead they had to pass a test in latin that was very difficult especially for a people without a tradional written language and who are mostly illiterate. So massage laws are used to supress a native people's culture again.

[brandonraynor]

@ajbaker617

This is what all these massage laws do. They use this fear factor like what does a person do with Ankylosing Spondylitis or whatever to suppress native healing. Just because a person doesnt know a latin name for a medical condition it doesnt mean they dont have techniques or approaches that can either help that condition or not aggravate it. There are many different ways to view the human body, mind and soul. Latin is not the only language. Western medicine is not the only system.

[ajbaker617]

@brandonraynor Are your students, and I am referring to those with no science or massage background, taught how to address someone who presents with Ankylosing Spondylitis, DDD, Cancer, Diabetes, Osteoporosis, Heart Disease or are they able to test to differentiate between regular calf pain and a deep vein thrombosis? Are they required to have their First Aid incase a client has a medical emergency while on the table?

Things like this can not be covered in just a few hours.

[brandonraynor]

@ajbaker617

Thanks for your reply. Yes First Aid is something that is required for those wanting to practice professionally after completing our course. However it is done externally to our course because we get a lot of people that have already got a first aid certificate such as nurses, personal trainers and other massage therapists etc. .

Yes in our first day of the course we deal with all contrainidications or cautions to massage such as cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis, varicose veins etc.
