What physical therapy Does After a Accidente de Auto
Physical therapy addresses the musculoskeletal consequences of accidente de auto injuries: muscle weakness and guarding, joint stiffness and restricted rango de movimiento, soft tissue adhesions and scar tissue, postural dysfunction, and movement pattern compensation. Through targeted exercise, manual therapy, and therapeutic modalities, PT restores normal function and reduces chronic pain development.
What to Expect at Your Sessions
At your initial PT evaluación en MAIC, a licensed physical therapist will measure your rango de movimiento with a goniometer, assess your limitaciones funcionales with standardized instruments, and establish a baseline for tracking your progress. Each subsequent session documents the same objective measures, creating a longitudinal record of functional improvement — or plateau — that is directly relevant to your case.
How Long Does PT Take?
Tratamiento duration depends on injury severity. Most accidente de auto PT courses run 6 to 12 weeks for moderate injuries, with more severe injuries requiring longer courses. The WCB Medical Tratamiento Guidelines set specific durations for PT under Sin Culpa; Sin Culpa PT is authorized based on medical necessity and ongoing documented improvement.
