The Collision Care Clinic · Lakewood
Massage therapy in Lakewood, Colorado
Learn when to discuss massage after a car accident, what a session involves, and why assessment comes first.
Tell your clinician what has changed
You do not have to choose a massage technique yourself. Tell your clinician where you hurt and what has changed since the collision.
Know what a session involves
Massage involves hands-on work with muscles and other soft tissues. A session chosen for relaxation and one planned around a medical concern may use overlapping techniques. The useful distinction is the goal, the precautions, and how the treatment will be reviewed.
Agree on what to track
If massage is included, agree on what to track. Tell your care team about changes in pain and daily tasks, such as dressing or turning your head. Ask how those changes will inform the next treatment decision.

Cost and payment arrangements
We bill the auto claim instead of health insurance, the way a body shop bills for the car. This model gives our physicians and therapists time for your injury and thorough visit documentation.
