Race Against Multiple Sclerosis (RAMS) was founded in 1985 by a group of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) sufferers and their carers. Concerned at the lack of help available to those with MS, RAMS Therapy Centre was established in Dunmurry, Belfast, Northern Ireland specifically to provide hyperbaric oxygen therapy and offer support to sufferers and carers. Over the succeeding years RAMS Therapy Centre has extended their programme of treatment to include a more holistic approach to the management of multiple sclerosis symptoms by providing individual physiotherapy programmes, massage, reflexology, dietary/nutritional information and counselling. Self help for people with MS and their friends and families is considered an important aspect of RAMS therapy and so RAMS serves as a friendly drop-in centre for sufferers and their carers/families to meet and help each other.
There is evidence to indicate that management of the symptoms experienced by other debilitating disorders such as Cerebral Palsy, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, Strokes etc., etc., can be significantly improved with our programmes of treatment. There is also evidence to show that physical injuries such as, for example, those obtained in sports can be treated with a marked improvement in rate of recovery. RAMS , therefore, has extended their series of treatments to these other neurological disorders and physical injuries.

RAMS is a registered charity with one full-time and two part-time members of staff. It is maintained through donations from the public and through the organisation of volunteer and professional staff.
