Recovery after motor accident injuries can be difficult and often painful. Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in the rehabilitation of motor accident injuries with the main aim being to help clients regain functional mobility, reduce pain and improve healing, promoting a return to an active and healthy lifestyle.
Our expert physiotherapists design personalised treatment programs tailored to the individual's specific injuries and limitations. Physiotherapy treatment aims to improve muscle strength, restricted range of motion, joint flexibility and overall mobility. The exercise programs incorporate specific exercises and stretches to help restore normal joint movements.
Physiotherapy treatment options for the main presenting injuries from car accidents:
- concussion – balance training, gentle exercises, cognitive rehabilitation to improve brain function
- headache – manual therapy, postural correction, soft tissue therapy and exercises
- whiplash with associated neck pain and stiffness – joint mobilisation, soft tissue therapy, postural correction, and exercises

- traumatic brain injuries - exercises for improved co-ordination, balance, strength and cognitive function.
We liaise with the nominated treating doctor, other healthcare professionals and case manager to ensure a comprehensive coordinated approach to treatment and full recovery. We have a focus on functional rehabilitation and ongoing self-management strategies.
