Whiplash injuries: Treatment related to pathology and stages of healing

Abstract

Whiplash patients present a challenge to physiotherapists because of the variability of clinical presentations and the unpredictability of the outcome of treatment. Recent literature, which may provide some clues to this situation, is discussed. The clinical implications are that physiotherapy treatments should be carefully graded and non-aggressive. Twelve whiplash patients were treated according to these guidelines and their data were analysed.
