Physical Rehab For Motor Vehicle Accident Injuries

Personalized Physical Rehabilitation Programs for Individuals Affected by a Motor Vehicle Accident

After experiencing a car accident, the usual protocol is to assess any damages to the car, and with any luck, have them ‘rehabilitated’ by a mechanic, while claiming coverage through automobile insurance. But what about the injuries sustained by the individuals involved in the accident? What is the protocol for rehabilitating the body, and how can it be covered through automobile insurance?

SHAPE Health and Wellness Centres are proud to offer personalized treatment plans for individuals requiring rehabilitation, as a result of an MVA (Motor Vehicle Accident). Our expert team of health care practitioners, kinesiologists and physical therapists will collectively create a customized treatment plan, to quickly transform the client back to their pre-accident condition….if not better!

As an individual affected by an MVA and thus sustaining injuries, you must first make a claim through your automobile insurance provider. In turn, they will send you a package of Treatment Plan forms which SHAPE, as the health care facility, will complete and submit for approval. The next step is for one of our practitioners to perform a complete assessment of your condition. Following the assessment, the health care practitioner will meet with the Clinic Director to prepare your MVA Treatment Plan.

The plan will outline the recommended treatment approach, duration, and assessment proposal. Depending on your condition, our clinic director may recommend chiropractic care, physiotherapy, exercise rehabilitation, massage therapy and / or acupuncture, in any combination. Using this integrated approach, you will spend your time efficiently and achieve superior results.

Treatment plans typically run on the duration of a 12-week program. Upon completion, a progress report will be submitted to the insurance company. This report will outline the progress the client has made, in addition to the health care practitioner’s recommendations for further treatment. Again, depending on the severity of the accident and your progress, subsequent treatment plans may be required to reach the goal of your pre-accident state.

With SHAPE’s integrated, your program is constantly overseen by both a health care practitioner and clinic director, who will diligently manage every facet of the plan, while corresponding directly with the insurance provider and, if applicable, your attorney. This top level of care allows you to focus solely on your rehabilitation, without worrying about payment coverage or paperwork! SHAPE has two locations (one being totally handicapped accessible), which are open 7 days a week for complete convenience. Our Client Relations Associates are always happy to arrange appointments, call for a taxi, or respond to any other requests that may arise.

Testimonials

I suffered from severe bilateral plantar fasciitis for over one year. In constant pain, I was barely able to walk or stand, and was considering surgery. The results of the Graston technique and active release therapy performed by Dr. Katie Au at SHAPE were life-altering. The efficacy of her technique is remarkable. Combined with a program of rehabilitation, altered weekly, my mobility has been restored and pain is gone. SHAPE Toronto has my hearty recommendation.

Sender,
Thank you and your team for the great session. I ran 16K this morning and felt great, in large part due to your help yesterday. Congratulations on your successful operation. You have a great team and a unique approach to integrated fitness and health.

I've never had a back treatment of such quality. I had the ankle sciatic sensation on the way home and a few times at dinner and a super mild sciatic feeling in my right calf on the way to work, but I feel way better! Thanks for taking such great care of me. I was holding my abs so much last night, my stomach was sore when I woke up this morning!

I live in Los Angeles and while visiting family in Toronto, I complained of upper-back and shoulder pain which had been ongoing for months. My Dad suggested I see a chiropractor. Luckily, his search led to Shawn. who provided immediate relief. You can't undo months of issues in one visit and a few adjustments, but it was the springboard I needed to get on the right track. I have been pain free since. He even went out of his way to find a doctor in the LA area.

The weekly yoga session with Dagmara is the highlight of our week. She is cheerful, positive, attentive and energetic. The session provides our bodies with flexibility, gives us physical and mental strength, and facilitates peace of mind, so we can endure life until we see her again!

I wanted to thank all of you for the amazing support I’ve received over the past few months since coming to SHAPE. I came with specific fitness goals and you exceeded my expectations on every level! I’ve never felt and looked better in my life, and of course. SHAPE is a wonderful environment and knowing you have massage therapists, chiropractors and nutritionists on hand helps make the experience complete.

Through years of sports and competitive dance, I've had numerous chronic injuries. I visited physiotherapists, massage therapists and acupuncturists, but not until SHAPE did I see a remarkable difference. It's almost unbelievable how accurately they made the diagnosis and performed appropriate treatments.  I am thankful to be free of some of the pain I had for years. If there’s such thing as miracle workers, Shawn & Sender are it!. The fact that they follow up the next day with by phone or email speaks volumes!

Sender performed a miracle by alleviating chronic pain, lived with for several years. His ability to pinpoint the exact location of the muscles creating the pain and then use acupuncture and ART® treatments resulted in pain free living. What a joy! Now, it's only 32 hours after treatment so a few more days will tell the tale. Thank you,
Irene D.
I went to the gym and had a really GREAT work out yesterday. My back is a bit sore now but all is good, no problem, and you know what, this morning I feel like the 'HULK' because I can actually feel my muscles 'ripping and full of energy'. It feels MARVELOUS. Thanks Doc for a great treatment.

A week before my first race, my knees suddenly told me enough was enough! I could barely walk in the morning. I contacted SHAPE, and Shawn came to my rescue introducing me to ART®! Without you and your outstanding ability to alleviate pain, I may not have made it through my warm up on race day!!! You were genuinely concerned about my injury and determined to do whatever possible to make sure I was able to compete - you are my new HERO!

I have always had fantastic workouts at SHAPE, but I must say, my workouts with Adam continually challenge me and the results have been beyond expectation, in a very short period of time. I believe it important to give positive feedback when warranted.
Jessica B.
Unlike most facilities, the whole you is treated by a complete team. My case is continually reviewed by Sender together with my MeDCAN physician, physiotherapist and kinesiologist. It is reassuring to know I am in the hands of such an involved team committed to providing excellence.
Joan M.
My support for SHAPE is due to the commitment of the great people. You have all become like family to me and I will shout from the roof tops how wonderful, not only the facility is, but how great you all are. I believe in the programs and how you work together for your clients.

I have been training with Khanh for over 2 years and my strength, balance and flexibility have all improved. Khanh seems to know exactly how hard to push me so that I get the most out of every session and still have fun. He is a very thoughtful trainer.

Sender,
Every time I ski down the hill and feel how strong my legs are and how great I feel, I am grateful for the day I met you. I am skiing better than I have ever skied. I feel like an athelete!!
