Massage ...
the natural way to recover from a car accident.

If you have been in an auto accident, your doctor may prescribe massage as part of your treatment plan. Massage relieves the stress, pain and trauma of a car accident in a natural way, without side effects or additional trauma. We combine years of experience with continued advanced training and a nurturing environment to help you get back to your life after a car accident.

Massage can address the many of the sprains, strains, and other injuries common in a motor vehicle accident as well as the stress that goes with a traumatic event.

Massage Therapy Treatment Protocol

Typically, the goals of massage therapy in injury recovery are to:

• reduce stress
• reduce pain and swelling
• improve circulation
• improve range of motion

Immediately after a car accident, the relaxation benefits of massage can help reverse the effects that the trauma of a car accident can have on your nervous system. Massage also helps manage the swelling that usually follows an auto accident by promoting circulation of both blood and lymph. During the sub-acute stage (a few days to a few weeks after the accident, or longer), massage helps restore and improve range of motion. It can also help prevent myofascial adhesions and the formation of scar tissue. Later in your treatment, orthopedic massage is instrumental in addressing specific injuries like neck pain, headaches, whiplash, back pain, shoulder sprains/strains and hip pain, etc. 

Each person reacts differently to an accident. The physical and emotional trauma from an accident can take over your life and the effects can be long-lasting without the proper care. We will talk with you and incorporate different techniques and treatments to best meet your needs.

The State of Oregon requires motor vehicle insurance providers to cover massage under your personal injury protection (PIP) coverage. We will directly bill your insurance provider, letting you focus on feeling better!
