Our experienced physiotherapists in Cochrane specialize in assessing and treating a wide range of MVA-related injuries. We’ll conduct a thorough evaluation, create a personalized treatment plan, and provide the support you need to achieve optimal recovery.
Whiplash is a common MVA injury, but it’s not the only one. We effectively treat back and neck pain, muscle strains, shoulder injuries, and other conditions resulting from car accidents. Don’t delay seeking care; early intervention with physiotherapy can significantly improve your outcomes and potentially prevent long-term complications.

Our team is dedicated to fostering a collaborative partnership where you’ll feel motivated and inspired to meet your goals.
Our physiotherapists have extensive experience in treating injuries resulting from motor vehicle accidents, including whiplash, back pain, neck pain, muscle strains, sprains, ligament tears, and concussions (if you offer concussion management). They take a comprehensive approach to your recovery, understanding the unique challenges associated with MVA rehabilitation and the importance of addressing the physical symptoms and any emotional or cognitive difficulties you may be experiencing.
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Your treatment plan will be tailored to your injuries, needs, and recovery goals. This may include manual therapy techniques, therapeutic exercises, modalities like ultrasound or electrical stimulation, pain management strategies, and guidance on modifying your daily activities to promote healing and prevent further strain.
Our goal is not just pain relief but to help you regain your strength, function, and confidence to prevent future setbacks and complications. We’ll work with you to establish realistic goals and create a treatment plan that addresses the underlying causes of your pain, improves your mobility and flexibility, and empowers you to manage your condition effectively in the long term.
We work closely with you and, if necessary, any other healthcare providers involved in your care, such as your doctor or chiropractor, to ensure a coordinated and effective recovery plan. This collaborative approach helps us get a complete picture of your situation and develop a treatment plan that integrates seamlessly with any other medical care you may be receiving.
We utilize manual therapy techniques, such as joint mobilizations, massage, and trigger point therapy, to decrease pain and promote tissue healing. Additionally, ultrasound and electrical stimulation can reduce inflammation and encourage blood flow to the injured area.
Targeted exercises, stretches, and specialized techniques, such as joint mobilizations and myofascial release, help you regain flexibility and improve your ability to move freely. This improved range of motion is essential for returning to your daily activities and hobbies without pain or limitations.
We’ll design a customized exercise program to restore strength and stability and reduce re-injury risk. This program may include exercises that target specific muscle groups weakened by the accident and core strengthening exercises to improve overall stability and posture.
Correcting postural imbalances and teaching proper movement patterns can alleviate pain and prevent further strain. Our physiotherapists will assess your posture and identify any imbalances contributing to your pain. They will then teach you exercises and strategies to improve your posture and body mechanics during your recovery and daily activities to help prevent future injuries.
We have specific expertise in treating whiplash injuries, a common aftereffect of motor vehicle accidents. Our treatment approach for whiplash may include manual therapy to address muscle tension and stiffness in the neck and shoulders, exercises to improve range of motion and flexibility, and education on managing pain and preventing flare-ups.
This common MVA injury can cause neck pain, headaches, dizziness, and restricted movement. Our physiotherapists use a combination of manual therapy, exercises, and education to manage your symptoms and restore your function.
Motor vehicle accidents can cause a variety of neck and back pain issues, from muscle strains to ligament sprains. We’ll develop a personalized treatment plan to address your specific pain source and improve your mobility.
Shoulder pain and stiffness are frequent after car accidents. Using manual therapy, strengthening exercises, and movement retraining, our therapists can help with rotator cuff injuries, shoulder impingement, and other conditions.
These soft tissue injuries are common in MVAs. We’ll utilize manual therapy, ultrasound, and specific exercises to promote healing, reduce pain, and restore function.
Headaches are a frequent consequence of MVA-related injuries, particularly whiplash. Physiotherapy can help address headaches by addressing muscle tension, improving posture, and managing stress.
Suppose you’ve sustained a concussion in a car accident. In that case, our therapists can provide specialized care to help manage symptoms like dizziness, headaches, and cognitive fog. This may include vestibular rehabilitation exercises and education on managing your recovery.
In addition to the conditions listed above, our physiotherapists can treat other injuries commonly caused by motor vehicle accidents, such as joint sprains, ligament tears, and nerve compression.
