The Injury Hub: Whiplash
What is Whiplash?
Whiplash is a neck injury caused by a sudden, forceful back-and-forth movement, often from car accidents.
This motion strains neck muscles, ligaments, and tendons, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion. Symptoms may also include headaches, dizziness, and shoulder pain, sometimes appearing hours or days after injury.

Symptoms Of Whiplash
Treatment With Physiotherapy
A physiotherapist treats whiplash by reducing pain, restoring movement, and strengthening neck muscles. Initial treatments may include gentle neck exercises, stretching, and applying heat or ice to ease pain and stiffness.
Manual therapy, like soft tissue massage and joint mobilisation, can improve flexibility and reduce muscle tension. As recovery progresses, the physiotherapist may introduce strength-building exercises for the neck and upper back, helping to stabilise the area.
Posture correction and education on proper movement techniques are also included to prevent re-injury. Tailored treatment plans promote healing and gradually restore full neck function for long-term recovery.
