The Raindrop Technique is a gentle, yet profound modality that promotes deep relaxation and overall wellness in various body systems. Raindrop Technique theory and practice are based on a combination of techniques developed by D. Gary Young. These techniques include “feathering,” similar to effleurage (Native American, learned by a Lakota elder), Vitaflex (an ancient Tibetan reflexology re-discovered by Stanley Burroughs), and various other massage techniques, which are said to easily deliver therapeutic grade oils to the body on a cellular level via the spine and arches of the feet. The Raindrop Technique was developed with the mindset of approaching the body holistically: mind, body, and spirit. Relax and enjoy!

Fascia is a three-dimensional web of tough connective tissue that runs from the top of our heads to the tips of our toes. Fascia surrounds and infuses every part of the body including bones, muscles, vessels, spinal cord, internal organs, and each individual cell. It, therefore, affects every system and function of the body. Because of this, MFR is considered deep tissue work despite its gentleness. This is also why when a Therapist works on your lower back you may get a referral pain/twinge on your face or your calf, or a number of different places. Because this technique is very slow, it is obviously a very focused approach and can involve repeat visits. The upside is that it is more effective and usually goes beyond a temporary fix for chronic areas. Clients will need to dress in athletic shorts (men) and athletic bra/shorts (women) for a quick structural evaluation before each session.
