Who I Am and What I Do
My name is Paula Badrock and I am a Professional Massage Therapist based in Cheltenham with nearly 25 years working experience. Nothing is as rewarding to me as helping people to live better and healthier. If massage hasn’t worked for you before, let me show you how my specialised skills can produce results. From serious relaxation to relief of pain, my treatments provide long-lasting benefits in addition to making you feel better instantly. I have developed an understanding of the body’s healing abilities. I customise each treatment for your specific needs, using a variety of techniques. Each treatment is exclusive, bespoke and offers effective structural bodywork that enhances alignment and relives pain. I work with a variety of clients: men, women, elderly and adolescents, athletes, pregnant mothers and people with chronic pain. I have had success in treating a variety of conditions including back and neck pain, headaches, lower lumber and leg injuries, pre and post-natal aliments, RSI, frozen shoulders and sciatica. My aim is to rejuvenate you and help you repair and unwind from the stresses of life.

Having a treatment can be part of how you look after yourself. On a physical level, massage actively promotes the circulation of blood and lymph through the body, aids digestion, and alleviates chronic muscle tension. Massage is good at times when orthodox medicine has little to offer, for example for relieving headaches, backache and other chronic pain.
Massage increases range of motion, helps to heal injury, strengthens the immune system and aids with the elimination of toxins and stress. As each appointment is bespoke and tailored to your requirements that day, we begin with a physical assessment of muscle function and range of motion. I will explain why the selected techniques that I select for you are being used to address your individual needs. This educational approach is intended to provide insight into the therapeutic benefits of massage and teaches you to understand how the issue might have arisen in the first place.
Deep Tissue Massage
A good, firm massage that really gets to work deep into the muscle fibres. Techniques that utilise deep tissue/deep muscle massage are administered to affect the sub-layer of muscle and fascia. It helps relieve chronic muscular pain, stiffness and muscle soreness caused by overuse, and reduces inflammation. It is generally integrated with other massage techniques
Swedish Massage
Swedish massage employs soft strokes on the more delicate and bony structures of the body, such as the face, hands and feet, and stronger strokes over thickly muscled areas that retain stress, such as the neck and shoulders. The careful attention to the amount of pressure makes Swedish massage great for relaxation.
Sports Massage
Holistic medicine is a broad range of medical practices that are based on many years of tradition. With my Trigger Point Therapy treatment, your body and mind will feel free and clear of all worries and stressors that life places upon us. I’m trained in a variety of holistic techniques that will surely help to heal you both mentally and physically.
Pregnancy Massage
Designed especially to pamper the ‘mother to be’ at this special time. With the increased physiological and emotional stress of pregnancy, massage is particularly beneficial in order to nurture the mother and child. A soothing, relaxing massage that will benefit by soothing nerves and alleviating backaches, tension in the shoulders and aching legs and feet. Available from 12 weeks plus.
Lymphatic Drainage Massage
Have you ever felt like your body is just retaining too much fluid? Lymphatic drainage is a treatment whereby a special massage is performed in order to assist with the drainage of lymphatic build up in the body. A great way to improve circulation, eliminate body toxins and alleviate puffiness and blockages.
