Stop! Don't Reach for That Anti-Inflammatory Yet 🚫💊
Inflammation is actually part of your body's natural healing process.
Here's what many people don't know: taking anti-inflammatories in the first 48 hours after an injury can actually slow down your recovery.
⏱️ The First 48 Hours Matter
Your body sends inflammatory cells to the injured area to:

Clear damaged tissue
Start the repair process
Protect the injury

By blocking inflammation too early, you're interfering with nature's healing timeline.
💡 What to do instead:

Rest and protect the injured area
Apply ice (if appropriate)
Gentle compression
Elevation

After 48 hours? Come see us for proper assessment and treatment advice.

Anatomy 101: What's a Tendon? 🦴💪
Did you know? A tendon connects muscle to bone.
Think of tendons as your body's power cables - they transfer the force from your muscles to move your bones.
🔍 Common tendon injuries we treat:

Tennis elbow
Achilles tendonitis
Rotator cuff problems
Jumper's knee
De Quervain's (thumb tendon)

When tendons get overused or injured, even simple movements can become painful. The good news? With proper treatment, most tendon injuries heal well.
Experiencing tendon pain? Let's get you moving pain-free again.

Muscle tension and trigger points

Stretching 101: Are You Doing It Right? 🤔
Here's the secret to effective stretching:
✅ Hold for 30 seconds
✅ Repeat 3-5 times
Quick stretches won't give you the results you're looking for. Your muscles need time to lengthen and adapt.
💡 Pro tip: Don't bounce! Hold steady and breathe through each stretch.
Not sure if you're stretching correctly? We can help create a personalized stretching routine that actually works.

💆‍♀️ We Treat Headaches and Jaw Pain

Not all headaches start in the head — many are linked to muscle tension, joint stiffness, or problems with the neck and jaw.

At Mariska Odendaal Physiotherapy, we assess and treat the underlying causes of headaches, facial pain, and jaw discomfort (TMJ disorders) to help you find lasting relief.

Common conditions we treat include:

🤕 Tension-type headaches and neck-related headaches

😣 Jaw (TMJ) pain, clicking, or stiffness

💢 Facial muscle tension or pain when chewing or speaking

💤 Headaches linked to poor posture, stress, or teeth clenching

Using gentle manual therapy, postural correction, relaxation and jaw exercises, we help reduce pain, release tight muscles, and restore normal movement.

Because less tension means fewer headaches — and more ease in your everyday life. 🌿

🌬️ We Treat Chest and Sinus Conditions

Physiotherapy isn’t just for muscles and joints — it can also help your lungs and airways function at their best.

At Mariska Odendaal Physiotherapy, we offer treatment for chest and sinus conditions in both adults and children. Our goal is to help you breathe easier, clear congestion, and recover faster.

Common conditions we treat include:

🤧 Sinus congestion and post-nasal drip

🫁 Chest infections and bronchitis

💨 Asthma and breathing difficulties

👶 Paediatric chest conditions (like bronchiolitis)

💙 Post-operative chest care to prevent or clear mucus buildup

Using techniques such as chest physiotherapy, breathing exercises, and airway clearance methods, we support your respiratory system’s natural healing and function.

Because every breath should feel easier. 🌿

🩺 We Do Post-Operative & Post-Injury Rehabilitation

Recovery doesn’t end when your stitches come out or the cast comes off — that’s when true healing begins.

At Mariska Odendaal Physiotherapy, we guide you every step of the way through your rehabilitation journey, helping you regain movement, strength, and confidence after:

🦵 Orthopaedic surgeries (such as knee or hip replacements, ligament reconstructions, or shoulder repairs)

💥 Fractures and dislocations

🦶 Tendon or ligament repairs (like Achilles or ACL reconstruction)

💪 Muscle or soft tissue injuries

Through individualised exercise programs, hands-on treatment, and ongoing support, we help you restore your strength, mobility, and confidence — one step at a time. 🌿

🦵 We Treat Your Joints

Healthy joints are what keep you moving smoothly — walking, reaching, bending, and doing all the things you love without pain.

At Mariska Odendaal Physiotherapy, we assess and treat all major joints in the body, including the shoulders, hips, knees, ankles, elbows, and wrists.

Common joint-related conditions we help with include:

🦴 Arthritis and joint stiffness

💥 Knee pain (such as patellofemoral pain or meniscus injuries)

💪 Shoulder pain (like rotator cuff issues or frozen shoulder)

🦶 Ankle instability or sprains

✋ Elbow and wrist pain from overuse or repetitive strain

Through individualised treatment, joint mobilisation, strengthening, and movement retraining, we aim to restore mobility, reduce pain, and help you move confidently again.

Because when your joints move well — you move well too. 🌿

💪 We Treat Muscles, Ligaments & Tendons

Your muscles, ligaments, and tendons work together to keep you moving with strength and stability — until one of them gets injured or overworked.

At Mariska Odendaal Physiotherapy, we treat a wide range of soft tissue injuries, including:

💥 Muscle strains (like a pulled hamstring or tight neck and shoulder muscles)

🦵 Ligament sprains (such as an ankle sprain or knee ligament injury)

🎾 Tendon pain (like tennis elbow, rotator cuff irritation, or Achilles tendinopathy)

🏃‍♀️ Overuse injuries from repetitive movements or training errors

Through hands-on treatment, guided exercises, and movement retraining, we help your body recover, rebuild strength, and prevent future injuries.

Because when your muscles, ligaments, and tendons work in harmony — so do you. 🌿
