motor vehicle accidents (MVA)
If you are involved in a motor vehicle accident, it is recommended that you begin massage therapy as soon as possible in order to allow for a quicker recovery from the time of the accident. Our experienced therapists will customize a treatment plan to rehabilitate you from Motor Vehicle Accident injuries such as sprains, strains and whiplash.
Step One
Visit your Primary Health Care Physician in order to have your situation assessed and documented. This serves as a baseline for your care and as evidence of your situation if you proceed to court.
Based on your assessment, you will be assigned permission to access either 10 or 21 treatments for your condition.
Step Four
Book your initial MVA visit by phone, e-mail, or through our online booking site.
Step Two
Report the accident to your insurance company as soon as possible and follow your adjuster instructions.
Step Five
You must bring in your completed AB1 & AB2 forms (filled out by your practitioner or physiotherapist) or a letter from your insurance adjuster approving the treatment(s).
Step Three
Fill out the forms sent to you by your adjuster as complete and clearly as possible.
These forms must be completed within 10 days of the accident.
Step Six
A valid credit card must be left on file in order for us to direct bill your MVA claim.
