B.C. roads are very busy.
As a result, despite ICBC‘s attempts to increase safety, the roads remain the most dangerous places to be in the lower mainland.
Common injuries from motor vehicle accidents (MVAs) include whiplash, compressed vertebrae, frozen shoulder, back and neck stiffness, and chronic soft tissue pain, as well as increased incidence of mental illnesses, such as anxiety and depression.
In fact, studies show distracted driving and rear end collisions are increasing in Vancouver,
And B.C. driving will never be risk free.
So many of us in British Columbia know someone who has been in an MVA. Maybe they were forced to quit their preferred leisure pursuits, like hockey or golf, as a result. Or maybe they were unable to return to work or even confined to their homes following the motor vehicle accident.
To have any hope of making a full recovery, these folks need to get moving again and rebuild the strength and stability they’ve lost due to inactivity.
Fortunately, Karp Rehabilitation can help.
We offer physiotherapy (PT) kinesiology, Occupational therapy (OT), pool programs, athletic therapy, home care and cleaning, and much more. After an accident many people benefit from physiotherapy or sessions with a kinesiologist (active rehabilitation). Overseen by a Kinesiologist, active rehabilitation, is also called active rehab or active therapy.
It resembles personal training, but the exercises and stretches are designed to address your specific limitations. As your condition improves, the program will adapt to meet your needs.
