Eugene Oregon's best Auto injury Massage Team

Massage After A Car Accident

If your body still isn’t back to normal after the crash, we need to talk.

The ER cleared you.
The X-rays came back clean.
You were told to rest, to stretch, maybe to ice it.

But weeks or months later, your body still doesn’t feel right.

Maybe your neck locks up every time you look over your shoulder. Maybe your back tightens up during long drives. Maybe your jaw is clenched all the time, or your sleep is shallow, or you’re just tired of telling people “I’m fine” when you’re not.

Pain from a car accident doesn’t always show up right away. And it rarely goes away on its own.

You don’t have to settle for a “normal” that feels worse than before

Most of our clients come to us months after their accident, still feeling off and still getting vague answers.

At Movement Improvement Massage, we specialize in helping people understand what actually changed in their body after the impact. We don’t guess. We listen, we assess, and we apply targeted manual therapy that’s built to reset patterns, not just chase pain.

What to Expect from Auto Injury Massage

This is not a spa session. It’s structured, evidence-informed massage therapy focused on restoring function and reducing post-trauma compensation.

Here’s how we approach your care:

Assessment of movement patterns and symptoms
Targeted manual therapy for whiplash, low back pain, jaw tension, and more
Tissue work focused on recovery, not just relaxation
Coordination with referring providers and PIP coverage
Documentation support for your claim

We also help you understand how to continue healing between sessions with simple strategies that support real progress.

This Isn’t a Spa Session. It’s Real Work That Gets Results.

Here's What Our Customers Are Saying

We Accept PIP (Personal Injury Protection) For Massage

In Oregon, most auto insurance policies include PIP coverage, which may pay for your massage therapy after a motor vehicle accident — typically with a referral from your provider.

If you’re not sure what you’re covered for, we’ll help you find out. We’ll also help you handle the claims and coordinate with your auto insurer for the care you need.

Symptoms You Might Still Be Living With

Even if the accident was months ago, you might still be dealing with:

Neck tightness, whiplash, or limited rotation
Low back tension that shows up with standing or sitting
Jaw pain, grinding, or headaches
Sleep issues or fatigue
Muscle guarding or “on edge” feeling in your nervous system

These are signs your body is still compensating for trauma. Our work is built to help you come out of that pattern and regain control.

This is About More Than Getting Out of Pain

You’ve been through enough. You don’t need someone to tell you to rest more, stretch more, or just wait it out. You need care that actually helps your body get better. Not just get by.

The Benefits of Massage Therapy After A Car Accident

At Movement Improvement Massage in Eugene, Oregon, we specialize in providing quality therapeutic massage care for individuals involved in car accidents. Our team highlights the three main benefits of massage therapy in aiding recovery, addressing both physical and mental well-being, and ensuring comprehensive care through personal injury protection.

Pain Relief

One of the most immediate and obvious benefits of massage therapy is its ability to alleviate pain. After a car accident, individuals often experience aches and pains, particularly in the neck, lower back, and other parts of the body. Massage therapy offers a non-invasive, effective way to manage and reduce this pain, helping patients feel better quickly and allowing them to move more freely.

Speeding the Healing Process

Massage therapy plays a crucial role in speeding up the healing process. Car accidents can cause significant trauma to muscles and joints, leading to inflammation and restricted blood flow. Massage therapy helps reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and promote the delivery of essential nutrients to damaged tissues. This holistic approach supports faster recovery and helps patients return to their normal activities sooner.

Relieving Physical and Mental Tension

Physical tension is a common consequence of car accidents, as the body's natural response is to protect injured areas. This can lead to muscle tightness and discomfort. Additionally, the stress and anxiety associated with the aftermath of an accident can exacerbate physical symptoms. Massage therapy helps alleviate both physical and mental tension, providing a sense of relaxation and well-being that is crucial for overall recovery.
