Helping people suffering from whiplash get back to their former self with physiotherapy treatment.

Whiplash can occur in a motor vehicle accident or an incident that occurs where the body is moved suddenly causing the head and neck to move in a whip-like motion. This can occur with:

• Motor vehicle accidents (MVA)
• Contact sports
• Horse riding
• Cycling accidents
• Falls in which the head violently jerks backward

It can produce symptoms like:

• Neck pain
• Shoulder, upper back and arm pain and tenderness
• Stiffness in neck movement with loss of range of motion
• Headaches that start at the base of the skull
• Numbness and tingling in the arms
• Fatigue
• Dizziness
  
  

If you have recently had a whiplash injury and have not received treatment, but experiencing a multitude of these symptoms, it’s important you visit a health professional immediately. A professional assessment can identify if these symptoms are a cause of whiplash, and a physiotherapist can advise what treatment will be the most successful for your body and symptoms.

... and so much more! These are simply the most common conditions, but anything muscular, joint or skeletal in nature is where physiotherapy shines. Physiotherapist's are also qualified in rehab, pilates, hydrotherapy and exercise prescription. There's a reason physiotherapists are considered the movement specialists!

 They also give a little bit of homework, usually exercises. These are are designed to decrease pain, improve strength and restore function, and are vital to your recovery.
