Overview
Range of motion (ROM) training helps restore natural joint movement after an injury. Car accidents often cause stiffness, swelling, or protective muscle tension that limits how far you can bend, twist, or turn. ROM therapy uses controlled stretching and movement techniques to help your joints function more normally and comfortably.
At Accident Care Clinic, range of motion training is used alongside therapies like guided exercises, soft tissue therapy, and chiropractic care. Whether you’re recovering from whiplash, back pain, or joint strain, improving flexibility is key to regaining strength and avoiding future injury.
This page explains how ROM training works, who it’s for, and why it’s an important part of post-accident recovery.
Common Signs Range of Motion Training May Help
You’re experiencing stiffness or tightness after your accident
Certain joints feel restricted or don’t move like they used to
You struggle to look over your shoulder, bend forward, or raise your arms fully
Gentle stretching makes your body feel noticeably better
You’ve lost mobility in your neck, shoulders, hips, or spine
What to Expect During Treatment
ROM training may involve assisted stretching, guided joint movements, or gentle mobility drills performed with a provider’s help. It’s not about forcing your body to move — it’s about gradually retraining your joints and tissues to move comfortably again.
Sessions are personalized to your condition, and you’ll never be pushed beyond what feels safe or tolerable.
