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.
