Physiotherapy after a car accident
There are multiple injuries that can result from car accidents with whiplash being one of the most common. At Integral Physiotherapy & Sports clinic, we will be able to diagnose your injury and help you rehabilitate from it as quickly and optimally as possible. When it comes to whiplash, many accident victims do not realize they have suffered an injury, as they may not feel pain until several days later. Whiplash is typically caused when drivers or passengers are hit from behind causing the neck to snap forward and backward in a violent, unexpected and unnatural motion.
Adam looks at each issue in a wholistic way. Not only did he make an assessment on this first appointment, he did some treatment and then had one of the kinesiologists in the clinic go over a set of home exercises tailored to address my issue. Those exercises were then sent to me via email and a link to an app where I can watch a video to ensure I am doing the exercises correctly. I am confident that my knee issue will be resolved with Adam’s help. If you are looking for good value for your money, check out Integral.
