This particular branch of therapy involves the scientific manipulation of soft tissue, not only as a therapy for sporting injuries, but also as a means for injury rehabilitation. It aims to restore the various structures of the body to their normal function and it achieves this by working alongside the bodies' own healing process. By improving blood and other circulations and manipulating injured tissue, adhesions within structures can be prevented, scar tissue re-aligned and together with good rehab techniques a much faster return to action can be facilitated.

Massage should have an important part in anyone's training programme. The therapist can physically explore soft tissue and feel out any abnormalities and causes of aches and pains. In this way problems can not only be identified but also dealt with accordingly, improving performance and endurance and preventing injuries and loss of joint mobility in potential trouble spots.

Reflexology is an ancient and gentle form of healing that has been passed from generation to generation for centuries. When humans first placed their feet on the Earth's surface, they were naturally stimulated by walking and running over uneven ground, but the introduction of shoes has diminished our inborn sensitivity. Throughout history feet have represented mobility, security and grounding. According to Greek legend, the feet symbolised the soul, and any lameness was perceived as weakness of the spirit. In ancient Egypt soles of the feet were removed during mummification to liberate the "soul." Reflexology is a pleasant form of deep relaxation. It rejuvenates and re-energises the mind, body and spirit. It increases vitality and confidence, improves quality of sleep and induces a feeling of incredible well-being.
