Kinesiology & Post MVA Rehab
Post Motor Vehicle Accident Rehab
Recovery from a motor vehicle accident (MVA) can be a difficult process. Many patients lose general conditioning in addition to the specific injuries from the MVA. Post MVA rehabilitation is a sub-acute program (6-8 weeks following an accident) where you would continue to work with your physiotherapist but also start a one-on-one conditioning program with our kinesiologist. The sessions are typically 45 minutes in length and include specific suggestions from the physiotherapist such as postural re-training, addressing muscle imbalances along with general conditioning principles. Frequently, the goal of this program is to assist patients with return to work (RTW). We’re happy to provide RTW planning and monitoring as part of the program.
