Whiplash isn’t just a physical phenomena, it’s a neurological one, too. After a car accident, even a “small one” where “nobody is hurt,” the body can be thrown into fight-or-flight mode for days, weeks, or sometimes months after an accident. With the right approach, massage therapists can play a role in regulating that nervous system dysfunction, helping ease clients back into a rest-or-digest state.
Car accidents do a number on the body, and it’s important to know the physical damage that is common after whiplash and other auto injuries. But if your client is still stuck in a sympathetic (fight-or-flight) state, laying hands on those injured areas might do more damage than good. Learn the stages of healing from whiplash so you can approach your clients with confidence.
Gain the knowledge, tools, and understanding of what car accidents do to the body and nervous system so you can work with auto injury clients with confidence and compassion.
Adrienne O'Brien LMT is the owner of O'Brien Therapeutic Massage, and has specialized in working with auto injury clients since 2018. After being in three car accidents in high school and feeling first hand the physical effects of whiplash, she learned how compassionate complimentary care can heal the body.
As a student athlete turned active adult, slowing down after whiplash was hard, and she sought care probably a lot later than she should have. (Teenagers, right?) Once she did finally find the hands-on care of a chiropractor and a massage therapist, her body never felt better. Those experiences were one of the primary drivers that led her to her massage therapy career, and now she's passionate about helping others heal from their motor vehicle accident injuries.
Today, she helps other massage therapists learn auto injury care, from working with a trauma-informed, neurosomatic approach to billing auto insurance, she can help you treat these clients with confidence and compassion.
Learn to approach auto injury clients with a trauma-informed lens, and why even seemingly small, harmless accidents can throw the body into a post-traumatic, fight-or-flight state.
Gain the knowledge and skillset to work with both the somatic body and the mind when treating these clientele.
The mechanics of whiplash are important to know, but so is the nervous system dysregulation. Learn both in this comprehensive course.
