Kinesiology & Active Rehabilitation After a Car Accident (ICBC)

After a motor vehicle accident, it’s common for people to reduce activity due to pain, stiffness, or uncertainty about what movements are safe. Over time, this can lead to deconditioning, reduced confidence, and delayed recovery.

Why Kinesiology is Often Encouraged Early

Within the first 12 weeks post-accident, a Kinesiology assessment can be especially valuable to:

  • Understand how your body is tolerating movement
  • Identify strength, endurance, or coordination changes
  • Recognize fear-avoidance or hesitation with activity
  • Support a safe return to daily tasks, work, or exercise

Acupuncture may be incorporated alongside other services depending on symptom presentation.

Early assessment helps establish a baseline and guide activity decisions as recovery evolves.
