BASIC WHIPLASH RECOMMENDATIONS

GET REST

During the acute phase of whiplash treatment it is important to calm the nervous system down. Getting adequate sleep, taking time to relax and managing stress is important to help with your recovery time. Make sure to take good consultation from Whiplash treatment Physiotherapist in Edmonton or your region.

KEEP MOVING

Getting rest in the acute phase is a great way to calm the nerves and let the tissue heal. It is equally important to keep moving as your body allows. This includes taking time to exercise, walking, and light stretching. You may begin strengthening as soon as tolerated.
