Q. How is Raynor massage different from a regular Swedish massage?
A. Raynor Naturopathic Massage & Bodywork is a deep tissue massage which can also be referred to as therapeutic (or remedial) massage. It was developed by Brandon Raynor from a combination of different styles of massage used worldwide, including Chinese, Ayurvedic, Swedish, Shiatsu and Hawaiian massage and reflexology. It works not just on the soft tissues but can aid in restructuring and aligning joints and bones.
Q. Are you insured?
A. Yes I am fully insured to practice and hold public liability insurance.
Q. What payment options do you accept?
A. Preferred methods of payment are by card or cash on the day, or by bank transfer in advance (payment must be received by the time of your appointment - please ask for bank details).
Q. Where is your treatment room?
A. I now work exclusively from my home based treatment room in Newport, Barnstaple. It is a lovely tranquil space, with free parking available.
Q. What days do you offer treatments?
A. I currently offer appointments in Barnstaple Monday-Friday. Latest appointments on weekdays are around 5.30/6pm.
Q. How do I change or cancel an appointment?
A. Please get in touch by phone, text or email as soon as you know you need to change an appointment and I will be happy to find another time for you.
If you cancel on the day of or the day before your appointment you are likely to be asked to pay in full.
Q. I can't get to your treatment room - do you do home visits?
A. Home visits may be possible but are by exception as I need to fit them into a busy treatment room schedule. Mobile appointment times are limited and discounts will not apply. If the appointment is for 2 hours, or there are 2 of you wanting a massage in the same location, this may be possible. Please call to discuss your requirements or fill in the online enquiry form here.
Q. I am currently being treated by my GP for back and shoulder problems can I still have a treatment?
A. Whilst Raynor massage can help relieve stress and tension and help ease healing from sorts or other injuries, I am not a medical professional and cannot give you medical advice. If you are currently receiving medical treatment you may wish to discuss the compatibility of treatment and massage with your medical practitioner. In most cases, receiving massage will be fine, but there are some circumstances (e.g. after surgery or with some illnesses) where it will be best to wat a few months before receiving your massage. Before your first massage you will be given a full consultation to discuss any relevant medical history to ensure that the treatment is right for you, and that if required, adaptations can be made.
