Acupuncture is one of the many skills used within physiotherapy as an intergrated approach to the management of pain, inflammation and as a means of enhancing the body's healing chemicals, in order to aid recovery and enhance rehabilitation. Acupuncture is used by Physiotherapists, against a background of sound research and evidence, as a means of enhancing pain modulation via the stimulation of the brain and spinal cord to generate pain relieving chemicals, such as endorphins; melatonin to promote sleep and serotonin to promote well-being. These assist the body's healing process and offer pain relief as a percursor for other manual, or exercise, therapy.

Pilates is a physical fitness system developed in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates in Germany. Pilates called his method Contrology because he believed his method uses the mind to control the muscles. The Pilates approach focuses on the core postural muscles which help keep the body balanced and which are essential to providing support for the spine, in particular, Pilates' exercises teach awareness of breath and alignment of the spine, and aim to strengthen the deep torso muscles.

Reflexology is an ancient form of therapy that involves a special type of massage to feet and sometimes hands. With roots in Eygpt, China, Africa and India, ancient civilsations believed that all of the parts of the body are represented in micro channels running through the hands and feet, and applying pressure to the relevant points can relieve problems and symptoms in the corresponding areas. Reflexology is suitable for all ages and may bring relief for a wide range of acute and chronic conditions.
