The Role of Physical Therapy in Accident Recovery

Introduction

After an accident, medical treatment often begins in the emergency room — but recovery doesn’t end there. For many victims, physical therapy becomes a critical step toward regaining strength, mobility, and confidence.

At CAVR (Constitutional Advocates for Victims’ Rights), we believe that understanding how physical therapy supports recovery can help victims feel less intimidated and more empowered.

Why Physical Therapy Matters

• Helps rebuild muscle strength and flexibility.

• Reduces pain through guided exercises.

• Prevents long-term complications from injuries.

• Supports emotional healing by restoring independence.

What to Expect in Therapy

• A personalized plan based on your injuries.

• Gentle stretches, strengthening exercises, and mobility training.

• Gradual progress tracked by your therapist.

• Encouragement to set achievable goals.

It’s not about rushing — it’s about steady, safe progress.

Common Misconceptions

• “It will be too painful.” → Good therapy eases pain over time, not worsens it.

• “I can just heal on my own.” → Without guided movement, stiffness and weakness may linger.

• “It’s only for severe injuries.” → Even minor injuries can benefit from professional therapy.

How Loved Ones Can Support

• Encourage consistency with appointments.

• Celebrate small milestones.

• Help with transportation if needed.
