Massage therapy can be a valuable component of recovery after a car accident. If you’ve been in an MVA (motor vehicle accident) or collision, you might be experiencing soft tissue injuries like whiplash, muscle strains, and headaches to name a few. Massage therapy can help alleviate pain, reduce muscle tension, and improve mobility.
We provide many types of massage therapy that can help you with your recovery. Browse our list of techniques here.
What should I know about MVA massage therapy?
If you are a patient seeking massage therapy under an insurance claim for Motor Vehicle Accidents (MVA), we always start with a detailed assessment to ensure your safety. Your insurance claim must be started through a doctor, physiotherapist, or chiropractor, and approved by the insurance company before the massage treatment can begin.
You will also need to bring along any information needed for your claim, including information about your insurance, claim number, and your adjuster's name and contact information. It is important to inform your therapist if you are only seeking massage therapy, or if you have begun other treatments like physical therapy or chiropractic treatment. The treatment mix will have an effect of the length or number of treatments your therapist will be able to provide.

Is a massage after an MVA right for me?
If you've been in a car accident, it's crucial to seek medical evaluation first. A healthcare professional can determine the extent of your injuries and recommend appropriate treatment, including massage therapy. We will always make sure to be thorough in our assessment of your history and current condition before beginning treatment, as well. Massage has a myriad of benefits for injury recovery, and we look forward to helping you with yours!
Pain Relief
Massage helps relieve pain from injuries sustained in your collision. There are many techniques that can address specific pain points or overall soreness from your accident.
Supported Sleep
The relaxation and released tension from massage can help manage the lingering stress and anxiety you might be carrying from your accident.
Better Circulation
After an MVA, it’s common to see tensed muscles from the force of impact. Massage can promote blood flow to those areas and improve circulation for reduced tension.
Reduced Stress and Anxiety
The relaxation and released tension from massage can help manage the lingering stress and anxiety you might be carrying from your accident.
Improved Range of Motion
Massage helps you move like you did pre-accident, addressing the trauma caused by the force of impact against your various joints and muscles.
Quicker Recovery from Accident
For many MVA injuries, recovery takes time. With consistent massage treatments, we can assist your recovery process and encourage healing faster than if you went untreated.
Decreased Reliance on Medication
A massage can reduce your need for over-the-counter medications. When your sleep and physical health improve, it can result in less frequent use of medications that you might be taking for physical and mental help.

What Our Clients Are Saying
"The people are great! Friendly staff and flexible appointments. They have direct billing with insurance too which is really nice. I've been going in for deep tissue massage for the last 3 weeks and my muscles are finally loosening up. Grace is amazing at deep tissue massage. I highly recommend her if that's what you're looking for... and it takes me a lot to say that. I don't give praise unless it's deserved."
Tannis Mason
"I dealt with shoulder pain for a year and half. I saw multiple massage therapists throughout that time and no one could seem to relieve the pain and stiffness. One session with Craig and he fixed it. He even knew the cause just based on my description of the issue before we even started the massage. I highly recommend him!"
Candida Tookey
"Amazing results! I've been meeting with Craig for a few months now, and we've managed to completely obliterate my chronic shoulder pain. Craig uses a number of different modalities to address issues you may be experiencing. He's enthusiastic about his work, and it comes through in our sessions. Craig's jovial and professional personality was key to putting any hesitations I may have had at ease, as he was the first male massage therapist I've worked with. Always comfortable, always professional."
Kim Davidson
"Lexy was great. She's clearly passionate about massage, health & fitness, and she was very knowledgeable on ways to correct tightness in my body. She even provided stretching suggestions/examples specific to my problem areas after my massage time had run out."
