Redwood Performance Session in Bradford
A longer, tailored appointment that starts with what you need from the session — then uses an appropriate selection of sports massage, IASTM and cupping techniques rather than following a fixed treatment recipe.
Assessment before technique.
The Performance Session is designed for people who want more room to discuss what is going on, identify priorities and shape the appointment accordingly. It is still a recovery treatment session — not a medical diagnosis.
You explain the goal
Tell us where you feel tension or restriction, what your training or work demands look like and what you want from the appointment.
We establish priorities
The discussion and practical assessment help decide which areas deserve the most attention and which approaches are appropriate.
The session takes shape
Massage, IASTM and cupping are treatment options within the toolkit. The session can use one, two or several methods depending on suitability.
One session.
Several ways to work.
Explore the techniques that may form part of a Performance Session. These are options available to the practitioner, not a checklist that must all be completed.
Sports massage
Targeted hands-on work can be directed around muscular tension, movement and the areas prioritised during the assessment.
- Pressure adjusted around comfort
- Specific areas can be prioritised
- Can make up a large or small part of the session
What does IASTM mean here?
IASTM stands for Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation. It uses a specialist handheld tool as another way of working with selected soft-tissue areas.
Within a Redwood Performance Session, IASTM may be used where appropriate instead of, or alongside, part of the hands-on massage work. It is not automatically included just because you book this service.
Structured, but never formulaic.
There is no fixed minute-by-minute split between techniques. The sequence gives the appointment structure while leaving room for the treatment itself to respond to what is found and discussed.
