The majority of injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident include whiplash, and other muscular strains and/or ligament sprains involving regions such as the shoulder, lower back, mid back, elbow, hip and knee.
Massage therapy increases the blood flow to the injured muscles and ligaments and speeds the healing process. In addition to relaxation massage, specific bodywork methods ease acute whiplash discomfort and help prevent chronic fallout. It also helps relax a client’s psyche, helping the client work through the emotional issues induced by the accident.
