- soft tissue massage (see more on Massage Therapy)

- fascial release techniques of surrounding soft tissues
- acupuncture or dry needling (the western medicine version of chinese acupuncture)
- electrotherapy – ultrasound, tens or interferential therapy
- neural gliding techniques
- taping techniques to protect joints, correct posture or give feedback
- posture correction
- advice on ways to change movements and habits to reduce or eliminate the pain such as during work or sports activities
- exercise programmes to mobilise and strengthen injured joints
