Therapist checking a patient's neck at Rehab Collective in Mississauga

What Is Whiplash and Car Accident Rehab?

Whiplash is a neck injury caused by a fast back-and-forth movement of the head, most often in a rear-end collision. It can strain the muscles, ligaments and joints of the neck and upper back. Symptoms do not always show up right away. Many people feel fine at the scene and then wake up a day or two later with a stiff neck, headaches or pain between the shoulder blades.

Car accident rehab at our Mississauga clinic looks at the whole picture: whiplash, low back pain, shoulder and knee injuries, dizziness and the stress that can follow a collision. We start with a full assessment, explain what we find in plain language and build a plan to get you back to work, driving and daily life.

Physiotherapy After a Motor Vehicle Accident

Common symptoms after a car accident

  • Neck pain and stiffness, or trouble turning your head
  • Headaches that start at the base of the skull
  • Pain in the upper back, shoulders or low back
  • Tingling, numbness or pain travelling into the arms or legs
  • Dizziness, poor sleep, fatigue or trouble concentrating

How we treat whiplash and MVA injuries

Treatment is one-on-one in a private room. Depending on your injury, your physiotherapist may use gentle hands-on techniques, guided exercise to restore neck and back movement, strength and posture work, dry needling and education on how to stay active without flaring things up. If your symptoms include headaches, dizziness or neck pain that spreads into the arms, we screen for concussion and nerve involvement and refer you on if needed.

Auto insurance (MVA) claims

In Ontario, treatment after a car accident is usually covered through your own auto insurance. We accept MVA claims, so bring your claim number and your insurer’s adjuster details to your first visit and our front desk will help you get started. If you are not sure where to begin, call us at (437) 880-4536 and we will walk you through it. You can also use your extended health benefits; see payment and insurance.

Care from the whole team

Many car accident patients do well with a mix of services. Our physiotherapists, chiropractors and registered massage therapists work under one roof and share notes, so your care stays coordinated.

How We Help

3 Areas We Work on After a Car Accident

Neck & Whiplash

We restore neck movement, settle muscle guarding and reduce headaches with hands-on treatment and a gradual exercise plan.

Back & Shoulder Pain

Seat belts and impact often strain the low back and shoulders. We treat the sore areas and rebuild strength so they hold up.

Return to Daily Life

We plan your return to work, driving and exercise in steps, so you build confidence without setting your recovery back.

How to Book Car Accident Physiotherapy in Mississauga

Your first visit is a 60-minute assessment with a registered physiotherapist. Book the MVA assessment online, or call us and we will help you set up your claim and find a time that works. We are open 7 days a week at 2170 Dunwin Dr, Unit 7, with free parking.

Testimonials

What Our Clients Say

I have been a client of Tony’s for 6 months now. He has always treated my injuries with care and has taken his time to make sure that I have proper recovery. I came to Tony with severe knee pain and after multiple treatments and rehab my knee pain was gone, I went from not being able to stand or walk for more than 30 mins without pain to being able to work 8hours on my feet and weight train with no pain what so ever. I am very grateful that I was able to have someone that is willing to listen to my issues and to apply proper recommendations and treatments. He is very personable and truly cares for his patients!

Tony is an amazing physiotherapist. He resonates with the feelings injuries can bring forth and understand that everyone wants to feel better as soon as possible and understand exactly what the problem is.
As a professional soccer player it can be difficult finding a therapist who you fully trust and feel comfortable with working on your body, but Tony possesses all the abilities and traits to perform at the highest level with the best of athletes and high performance individuals.

I was assigned Tony Li as my physiotherapist. Upon my arrival, he was pleasant and polite. He asked me all the questions he needed answers to, to diagnose and provide me a treatment for my issue with my right ankle. He was patient and knowledgeable and showed me stretches that I could do on my own at home. I would recommend Tony's Rehab Collective to any new clients.

There is no better spot for treatment. Tony has helped me with chronic pain and stiffness and transformed my mobility over the last two years. Dr. Boland also unlocked new freedom in how I move my back and hips and my quality of sleep improved tenfold! Highly recommend this clinic for all treatments and offerings - no one else comes close to what I have received here.

I had a wonderful experience at Rehab Collective with Tony. My job requires me to be seated in front of a computer for long periods of time so was experiencing a lot of tension and pain in and around my neck, shoulders and lower back. He was very knowledgeable and put me on a customized physio plan to help with my pain and prevention for the future. I highly recommend Rehab Collective.

Great experience at Rehab Collective! My physiotherapist, Tony, paid very close attention to my issue and quickly came up with a detailed plan to help me get rid of my pain. His solutions were super effective! Even after the first session my back already felt so much better! Not only is the pain now completely gone, but I feel STRONGER and more functional than before my back pain occurred. The facility itself is super clean and spacious. You can tell they take great care of their equipment and clients alike.

I recently visited Rehab Collective for physiotherapy treatment for my knee and back pain, and I couldn't be happier with the care I received. My therapist, Tony, was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and attentive throughout my sessions. He took the time to listen to my concerns, understand my medical history, and tailor his approach to my specific needs. Tony's expertise in knee pain and back pain was evident from the very first session. He conducted a thorough assessment and identified the root cause of my pain, which allowed him to create a personalized treatment plan for me. He used a combination of manual therapy, exercises, and education to help me manage my symptoms and improve my overall mobility and strength. What I appreciated most about Rehab Collective was the emphasis on patient-centered care. Tony made sure that I was comfortable with every step of the treatment process and always answered any questions I had. He also provided me with helpful resources and tips to use outside of the clinic, which allowed me to continue my progress at home. The clinic itself is modern, clean, and inviting, with a wide range of equipment and amenities to enhance the patient experience. The staff are friendly, accommodating, and professional, and I always felt like I was in good hands. Overall, I highly recommend Rehab Collective - Physiotherapy&Wellness to anyone dealing with knee pain, back pain, or any other musculoskeletal issues. Tony and his team provide excellent care, and their patient-centered approach is truly exceptional. I will definitely be returning for my future physiotherapy needs.
I had such an amazing experience at Rehab Collective. The environment is very welcoming, clean, and bright. Upon arrival I was immediately greeted by my physiotherapist, Tony Li. During my session, he made me feel comfortable and understood by being attentive and receptive to my concerns. He took the time to explain why I was experiencing such pain/strain, and knew exactly what was needed to help remedy that. The exercise facility in the clinic is very spacious and inviting. Any time I need physiotherapy, I will be coming back here!
