Automobile and Workers' Compensation
Why Is Physical Therapy Important After an Accident or Workplace Injury?
Recovering from an automobile accident or workplace injury can be physically and emotionally challenging. Physical therapy plays a vital role in restoring your strength, mobility, and function while helping you manage pain and prevent long-term complications. Our goal is to get you back to work and daily activities safely and confidently.
Physical therapy also helps document your recovery progress, which can be valuable for insurance claims and workers’ compensation cases.
