About Coleen Makkink Physiotherapist Centurion

At Coleen Makkink Physiotherapy, we believe everyone deserves care that suits their needs. Therefore, we create personalised treatment plans for each client. We use targeted exercises and hands-on treatment to support recovery and mobility. In addition, we update exercise plans as your condition changes, so you can keep working towards steady progress.

Physiotherapy Exercises and Stretches

From your first session, you receive a full set of exercises and stretches based on your condition. These exercises support your physiotherapy treatment and help with recovery. We compile and email your exercises and stretches, so you can access and track them easily. Furthermore, we update your personalised plan as your condition progresses.

Muscle Spasm and Trigger Point Treatment

Muscle spasms and trigger points can cause major discomfort. Therefore, we use hands-on treatment to target these areas. Treatment can include sports or general massage, deep tissue release, ultrasound, and interferential therapies. We also offer dry needling to release soft tissue and trigger points. As a result, these treatments can help ease muscle tension.

Stress and Chronic Pain Management

Chronic pain can affect daily life and overall well-being. This includes tension headaches, fibromyalgia, and fatigue. We offer hour-long physiotherapy sessions that include manual release, dry needling for sympathetic nerve bundles in the upper back and neck, anti-inflammatory modalities, and corrective breathing techniques. Together, these treatments help manage symptoms and support overall well-being.

Sports Massage and Strapping

Sports massage can help ease tight muscles, especially during the acute phase after a sporting event. We also provide general release for tired muscles and soft tissues. Sessions usually last 45 minutes. They can help prepare athletes for events or support recovery after an event. Regular sports massage can also help maintain muscle health.

Strapping supports muscles and joints and can help prevent injuries. We offer kinesio strapping to mobilise muscles, improve function, and reduce injury risk during sports activities. It can also support postural stamina and reduce muscle fatigue in office workers. In addition, we use general strapping to support and immobilise joints during recovery or general activity.

Dry Needling and Joint Mobilisation

Dry needling targets trigger points and overactive muscle fibres. It can help reduce chronic pain symptoms by addressing soft tissue inflammation. We often combine dry needling with other treatments to support recovery and ease pain, particularly for sports and chronic pain clients.

Joint mobilisation treats pain and stiffness in any joint. We provide spinal mobilisation for the neck and back, as well as peripheral joint mobilisation. We perform each treatment with care and adapt it to your condition. These treatments form part of a wider plan to improve movement and reduce pain.

Postural Care and Home Advice

Good posture can help prevent secondary conditions and improve function. We provide personalised home exercises and stretches to support good posture at home and on the sports field. We tailor these exercises to your needs and email them to you for easy access on mobile devices.
