Auto Accidents

Physical therapy can be an important part of the recovery process after a car accident. Physical therapists can help patients manage pain, improve mobility, and prevent future injuries. They may use a variety of techniques including exercise, manual therapy, and modalities such as heat or ice to help reduce pain and swelling. They may also provide guidance on how to safely perform activities of daily living, avoid certain movements or positions that may be harmful to the affected area, and prevent future injuries or complications. The goal of physical therapy after a car accident is to help patients recover as much function and independence as possible, and to minimize the impact of the accident on their daily lives.
