Why You Need to Get Physical Therapy After a Motor Vehicle Accident

Khairunnisa Hemani • July 6, 2022

Getting into a car accident can be a stressful life event all on its own. Add any aches and pains you might be experiencing after the accident, and you have the perfect recipe for excessive stress in your life. 


At Delta Physiotherapy & Rehab, we want to help you avoid this added stress by providing professional physical therapy after your motor vehicle accident. Physical therapy can provide relief after an injury and give you peace of mind. 


If you were recently in a motor vehicle accident, but are unsure whether or not you need physical therapy, please read on. Here are the top reasons why we recommend physical therapy to anyone who has recently been in a car accident. 


Prevents Long-Term Damage After the Accident


Did you know that a car accident can leave you with permanent damage to your body? 


Even if it was a minor car accident or fender-bender, if you don’t address your injuries, you will likely continue to put added strain on an already injured joint or muscle. This will make the injury worse and can lead to long-term damage. 


You have the power to help yourself in this situation, so don’t let booking your physical therapy appointment fall to the wayside. It could mean the difference between a life full of aches and pains or a life full of pain-free adventure. Which will you choose?   


Being Physically Active Reduces Pain


When you suffer from pain after a car accident, the last thing you likely want to do is be physically active. Did you know that physical activity can actually help reduce pain? 


If you remain inactive and allow the aches to continue, the pain will only worsen. You need to keep active and use the joint or muscle in a careful and controlled manner. 


This is why booking with a professional therapist at Delta Physiotherapy & Rehab is so important. We will provide you with therapy that is specifically targeted for your injuries. With a professional team you can trust, we’ll ensure you receive the perfect combination of rest and work on your injured body part. 


It Can Help Restore Function in and Around Injured Spots


Without physical therapy, there’s a good chance the injured part of your body will remain injured or worsen. 


While you might become accustomed to this pain and discomfort, you deserve motor accident pain relief. Through the use of the many types of physical therapy available at Delta Physiotherapy & Rehab (including physiotherapy, chiropractic care, massage therapy, laser and shockwave therapy), we heal the injured body part and reduce pain as quickly as possible. 


Speeds up the Recovery Process


If you were injured in a motor vehicle accident but are eager to get full mobility back, physical therapy can help. 


Perhaps you are an athlete who needs to be in tip-top shape. Maybe you are a parent who needs to be able to pick up a toddler. Maybe you work in a field where physical performance is essential for your job.


Regardless, if you have been injured and want to get better as quickly as possible, physical therapy is the answer.
