Rolfing @ Health Rediscovered, Glasgow
£60 per session
Rolfing is a method of deep tissue bodywork combined with movement education. Together these two approaches aim to balance the body so it can move more freely and be more comfortable.
Rolfing addresses patterns and tension that can develop as a result of trauma, work demands, or postural habits, to restore a more efficient and easier alignment. Whilst a person may have pain in a particular place, Rolfing recognises the interrelatedness of the body and so treats the entire structure through a systematic approach called the ‘ Ten Series’.
Benefits of Rolfing include, improved posture, improved flexibility and range of movement, enhancing the ease of breathing, releasing painful holding patterns and managing acute and chronic pain from past injuries.

Hara (Abdominal) Massage
60 minutes £45
An ancient, traditional massage that focuses on the centre of our bodies – our abdomens. This area of our bodies houses our vital organs, a complex interconnected collection of organs including the stomach, spleen, liver, gall bladder, intestines both large and small, bladder and reproductive organs for females.
It is a gentle, deep, rhythmic massage that allows these organs to be soothed, which in turn sooths our nervious system so is a wonderful treatment for stress as well as more physical issues such as GORD, Hernia, infertility, heart burn and of course IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome).
Paula often combines this treatment with acupuncture to further support an improvement in your health and well-being.
