RECOVERY
Auto Injury Massage
Bodywork that helps release
the traumatic event
a car accident to restore
balance + safety within
your body + nervous system.
If you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident (MVA), massage can help you find relief with greater ease and speed. In Oregon you are covered by PIP (personal injury protection) for up to one year post-accident.
Car accidents can be frightening. One can lock up physically and even hold onto this impact for many years after the accident. Chronic pain, decreased range of motion in joints, and pinched nerves leading to tingling, numbness and weakness, particularly in the limbs from such impact can develop. Not to mention the toll this experience can take on the nervous system in the form of increased stress and anxiety.
The sooner you receive bodywork, the sooner you can relax, heal, and return muscles to their correct lengths. The longer you wait to get care, the stiffer things can become, and the less time you have to use your PIP to cover therapeutic services. Let us help you recover well.
Even if you are not feeling extreme pain, it is prudent to seek care for preventative dysfunction that may not present until several months after your initial accident.
Be proactive.
Get the care you deserve.
How to get massage covered by insurance following a motor vehicle accident:
Open a claim.
Try to see a doctor within 24 hours of your accident to get a diagnosis and prescription for massage.
Contact a massage therapist to set up an appointment.
Provide your Massage Therapist with your insurance information, claim information, and your doctor’s prescription prior to your first appointment. Make sure your prescription states how many massages you may receive per week and for how many weeks you should receive treatment.
“Kamila is an incredible massage therapist who has been patiently and effectively helping me heal from a car accident six months ago. From our first appointment, I knew she was the best massage therapist I had ever encountered, and I've been to see her every week since. She's kind, open and communicative, and the consummate professional.In addition to treating the injuries from the car accident, Kamila has helped me treat headaches, anxiety, inflammation, insomnia, and stress with her wonderful massages. Highly recommended!!”
