Sports Massage

Sports massage is a targeted massage approach that focuses on specific areas of the body that need healing or relief.

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage can be used for relieving muscle tension, reducing stress, working knots and increasing circulation.

Cupping Therapy

Cupping increases blood circulation to the area where the cups are placed. This may relieve muscle tension, which can improve overall blood flow and promote cell repair.

Medical Acupuncture

This is a technique of inserting small filament needles into muscle trigger points to treat myofascial pain and dysfunction.

Hello! I’m Ria

Sports & Remedial Massage Therapist

Hello, my name is Ria and I’m the owner of RG Therapy Sports & Remedial Massage. I am a fully qualified Level 5 Clinical & Remedial Soft Tissue Therapist. I specialise in pain and injuries caused by musculoskeletal dysfunction from lifestyle or injury.

How we can help

 

Living in this modern age affects our bodies. Chronic stress and anxiety cause extra muscle tension. All the attention to screens affects our posture. In addition, many modern jobs are spent behind a desk or in other inactive occupations. It’s no wonder why more and more people are experiencing neck and back pain.

Sports and Remedial massage are effective for many kinds of muscular and soft tissue problems as well as injury, whether it is due to posture, occupational stress or sporting activities. This style of massage not only helps recovery from injury but is also very effective in the prevention of injuries. It should therefore be an integral part of a training or fitness program for all those involved in physical activity, whether you are an amateur or a professional sports person.

You don’t have to be a sportsperson to feel the benefits! Muscular tension, stress and fatigue can affect all of us, whether we are competitive or recreational athletes, DIY fanatics, gardeners, busy housewives, or stressed executives. Active or sedentary – you should find massage relaxing and therapeutic.

Many people appreciate the deep treatment offered by a sports massage therapist as they can really feel those knots being ‘ironed out’. You will become aware of how your body reacts and tenses up under stress and by taking early action to reduce their stress levels and relax.

Client Feedback

I arrived home after an 11 hour flight and could barely move or bend over. Ria came to my rescue and the following day I was able to do most things including picking up my 2 year old granddaughter constantly! Ria is very professional, knowledgable and a lovely spirit.  Thank you Ria.

Ria is a lifesaver! I was in a lot of pain in the lower back and glutes. She used her skillful hands and immense knowledge and experience to focus on problem areas and relieve much of the pain I had. I cannot thank her enough for the patience and work she did. A treasured find!

It was a fantastic massage, I didn’t expect it to be so relaxing. Ria’s hands are magical and she knows how to do her job professionally. Thank you Ria.

Ria is a magician and I truly mean it. After a deep tissue massage last night, I feel so much more relaxed. My body hurts from all the pressures from massage but I am enjoying every bit of that. I must say after the experience with Ria I got a new found appreciation for massage and will definitely make it a regular ritual of my physical and mental healing.

Ria delivered such a great deep tissue/sport massage and was able to release tension and operate exactly in the areas where I needed it the most. Very professional, polite and nice person overall. 

What a fabulous therapist and massage. Booked for my wife and she was blown away by how good the session was. Really polite and amazingly professional therapist – can’t wait to book again.

Romena was an amazing therapist really calm and smooth with her hands. I was very tense/backache and felt new again the next morning. She used the right pressure and always asked if I was ok. If you want a reliable, professional and excellent massage book her! Thank you Romena.

Had an amazing massage and a lovely chat too! Definitely would recommend! Romena you are the best!

I bought a session with Ria for my girlfiend as a gift. My girlfriend was amazed by her professionalism and technique. She highly recommends her work and will be booking more sessions with her again.

Ria was wonderful, an absolute pleasure of an experience and a most wonderful massage. Thank you.

She’s a professional at this job and the amount of care and attention to detail is out of this world. Thank you so much, you made me feel brand new!
