Welcome to Ryder Therapies web site.

Serving the greater Beaches area of Jacksonville, Florida (specializing in homecall), Terry Ryder, LMT specializes in treating clients in their homes using a variety of massage techniques to enable you to relax, recover from injury, improve flexibility, reduce edema (swelling), improve performance physically and mentally. Other benefits of massage are:

• Massage relaxes muscle spasm and relieves tension.
• Massage dilates the blood vessels, improving the circulation and relieving congestion throughout the body.
• Massage acts as a “mechanical cleanser”, stimulating lymph circulation and hastening the elimination of wastes and toxic debris.
• Massage increases blood supply and nutrition to muscles without adding to their load of toxic lactic acid, produced through voluntary muscle contraction. Massage thus helps to prevent buildup of harmful “fatigue” products resulting from strenuous exercise or injury.
• Massage can compensate, in part, for lack of exercise and muscular contraction in persons who because of injury, illness or age are forced to remain inactive. In these cases, massage helps return venous blood to the heart and so eases the strain on this vital organ.
• Massage stretches connective tissue, improves its circulation and nutrition and so breaks down or prevents the formation of adhesions and reduces the danger of fibrosis.
• Massage improves the circulation and nutrition of joints and hastens the elimination of harmful deposits. It helps lessen inflammation and swelling in joints and so alleviates pain.
• Massage makes you feel good.
