Auto accidents greatly impact the body. Whiplash can occur at speeds as slow as 5mph, and occurs when the neck is quickly sent forward, and then whips backwards. Symptoms of whiplash include headaches, neck pain, head, shoulders, back, and arms. Some people may also experience dizziness, difficulty focusing, muscle spasms, nerve injuries, the sensation of pins and needles, troubles sleeping, a stiff neck, and tenderness in the affected areas.
​
Many people also report lower back pain after a car accident. The seatbelt puts uneven pressure on our hips and low back in the event of an accident, resulting in an imbalance as your body attempts to reach homeostasis afterwards. We'll use massage therapy techniques such as Swedish massage, therapeutic massage, and potentially deep tissue massage techniques to induce a deep state of relaxation, calm the vagus nerve, and get deep into the muscle and fascial tissues. That being said, we typically won't use deep pressure during your massage, as that's usually contraindicated after a car accident.

We start each Beaverton auto injury massage with an in-dept intake to really discover what happened and how we can best help you. Working with your primary care provider or referring Chiropractor, we'll create a custom plan to address the musculoskeletal issues that are causing you pain. Massage therapy will also decrease inflammation throughout the affected areas, giving you more range of motion and flexibility. Depending on your health history, we may also use cupping therapy. We'll check back in every few weeks to make sure we're on track and making good progress with the goal of getting you back to your pre-accident self.
