When I did the massage course in Brisbane last year, I'd had 6 months of severe lower back pain, with a pain level of 8 - 9 out of 10. I'd had Chinese accupressure massage in Cairns and Traditional Thai massage in Bangkok, which only 'helped' for 4 - 6 hours. By completing your course, not only did I learn a lot, but my backpain was and is 'cured', and I've not suffered since.

Frequently Asked Questions


Massage Certificate Course Australia


Q: I have never massaged anyone before. Will I really be able to do this after just one week?
A: Yes! We have trained hundreds of people with no massage experience who have left the course and become successful and highly effective therapists.

Q: I have been working in the massage industry for years, will I find the Certificate too easy and should I start straight on the Diploma course?
A: No! Raynor Massage is so different from any previous massage you will have done that you will be learning a lot of new things from day one. You need to complete the Certificate Course before you can progress to do the Diploma.

Q: I am not 20 and not skinny won't I feel too embarrassed being undressed for massage?
A: First of all we place great emphasis on professional draping. You will be covered by towels at all times while being massaged with only the part of your body being massaged being uncovered. Belly and side on massage is done through a towel for privacy. While we have trained people from 16-84, the majority of people on our courses have already had some experience of life so you won't feel out of place. If you are particularly body conscious or for religious / cultural reasons you cannot undress to underwear for massage, then you can be massaged through loose clothing. Remember you will be draped in towels at all times!

Q: Is the course residential?
A: No. You will be responsible for your own accommodation, food and travel, we can however offer suggestions for accommodation near to our massage schools. We may in the future offer residential courses and these will be clearly marked and costed as residential courses.

Q: What do I need to bring on a course?
A: You will need to bring comfortable clothing, flat shoes and at least four large towels. We provide the massage tables for use during the course and all oils.

Q: I have never heard of Chi or Meridian lines. Does that matter?
A: No. The course does not assume any prior understanding or knowledge.

Q: I don't really believe in Chi and people's energy. Can I still do this course?
A: Yes, you don't necessarily need to agree with a particular philosophical point of view to be able to learn Raynor Massage and give an incredibly effective massage. Do try to come to the course with an open mind - many people do go home with a different understanding of the human body and the body-mind interaction and recognise that there is much to learn from these ancient traditions even if their personal belief system does not integrate it.

Q: Do I have to do lots of reading and academic study?
A: No. We will provide a detailed course handbook and give you suggestions for further reading should you wish to add to the knowledge gained on the course. You do not need to learn the Latin names of muscles and body parts, we believe it is more important to find and eliminate tension in the body than be able to give it its scientific name. Some of our students go on to read further after the course as part of their ongoing development and we will give guidance for this if its wanted, its not essential to you becoming a good Raynor Therapist.

Q: Can I get insured from this course?
A: We work with a number of insurance companies who offer insurance for our students click here to view the full details.

Q: What do people do after the course?
A: Some will work full time as a Massage Therapist, others work part time and others massage friends and family. Most who want to work professionally in this field will go on to do the Diploma course either immediately or after gaining more experience of practical massage.

We hold our Massage Courses in Melbourne, Sydney, Darwin, Gold Coast, Tasmania Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane, London, Dublin, Edinburgh, Auckland, Christchurch, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, and Montana.
