About Coleen Makkink Physiotherapy

At Coleen Makkink Physiotherapy, we take a holistic approach to the treatment of various physical conditions. We focus on correcting posture, relieving chronic pain, and preventing repetitive injuries to ensure lasting results for our clients. Our practice is built on the belief that everyone deserves a personalised treatment plan that addresses their unique needs, with tailored exercises and therapeutic techniques designed to optimise recovery and mobility.

Our Services

We offer a wide range of physiotherapy services, including:

Full Set of Exercises & Stretches

From your first session, you will receive a comprehensive set of exercises and stretches tailored to your condition. These are designed to complement your physiotherapy treatment and improve your recovery. All exercises and stretches will be compiled and emailed to you for easy access and tracking. These personalised plans are updated as your condition progresses, ensuring consistent improvement.

Muscle Spasm & Trigger Point Treatment

Muscle spasms and trigger points within muscle tissues can cause significant discomfort. We use manual therapy, including sports or general massage, deep tissue releases, ultrasound, and interferential therapies to treat these issues. Dry needling is also an option for releasing soft tissue and trigger points, offering effective relief from muscle tension.

Stress & Chronic Pain Management

Chronic pain conditions such as tension headaches, fibromyalgia, and fatigue can severely impact your quality of life. 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. Our approach helps manage symptoms and improves overall well-being.

Sports Massage

Sports massage is ideal for relieving muscle tightness, particularly in the acute phase after a sporting event. We also offer general release for fatigued muscles and soft tissues. These sessions, which typically last 45 minutes, help prepare athletes for events or assist in recovery post-event. Regular sports massage can also aid in maintaining muscle health.

Strapping

Strapping helps support muscles and joints to prevent injuries. We offer kinesio strapping, which mobilises muscles, improving their functionality and reducing injury risk during sports activities. This technique is also helpful for improving postural stamina and reducing muscle fatigue, particularly in office workers. We also use general strapping to support and immobilise joints during recovery or for general activity support.

Dry Needling

Dry needling is an effective treatment for releasing trigger points and overactive muscle fibres. It helps reduce chronic pain symptoms by directly addressing soft tissue inflammation. This technique is often combined with other treatments to enhance recovery and alleviate pain, especially for sports and chronic pain clients.

Joint Mobilisation

Joint mobilisation is used to treat pain and stiffness in any joint of the body. We offer spinal (neck and back) and peripheral joint mobilisation, which is performed with great care to suit your specific condition. Joint mobilisations are part of a comprehensive treatment plan to improve range of motion and reduce pain.

Postural Care & Home Advice

Postural care is essential for preventing secondary conditions and optimising function. We provide personalised home exercises and stretches to help clients maintain good posture and improve function both at home and on the sports field. These exercises are tailored to your needs and emailed to ensure easy access on mobile devices.

Cupping

Cupping therapy, an ancient treatment, involves applying glass cups to the skin and creating a vacuum. This technique enhances local blood circulation, reduces soft tissue inflammation, and helps speed up recovery from injury. Cupping is particularly beneficial for sports-related injuries and can also be used to relieve both acute and chronic pain.
