How it relates to car accident recovery
After an accident, pain often leads people to move less, which can lead to stiffness and weakness. A structured physical therapy program helps you return to normal activity safely and teaches you how to manage symptoms at home.
What to expect
- A movement and strength assessment
- Measurable goals for your recovery
- In-clinic sessions plus a home exercise program
- Progress reports shared with your treating providers
Good to know
Consistency matters. Attending scheduled sessions and completing home exercises are among the most important things you can do to support your recovery.
