Physiocare's Experience in Action
Understanding Physiotherapy for MVA in Ottawa
Physiotherapy for Motor Vehicle Accidents targets soft tissue injuries, whiplash, and joint impact trauma following collisions. Clinical studies show early intervention reduces pain, inflammation, and prevents chronic symptoms—improving long-term outcomes. Incorporating active exercise, manual therapy, and posture correction supports neuromuscular recovery and functional restoration after MVCs.
How MVA Rehabilitation in Physiotherapy Works
Treatment combines hands-on therapy, mobility and strength exercises, and vestibular or nerve modulation techniques. Recent evidence supports use of multimodal rehabilitation—techniques shown to reduce neck disability and improve range of motion earlier than passive care. Therapy is tailored as recovery progresses to ensure safe return to daily activities.
