Massage Therapy Eases MVA Trauma Recovery
My MVA clients are often relatively fragile. Pain, loss of function and limited range of motion are the norm.
I accept motor vehicle accident ( MVA ) insurance.
It is essential that during recovery, care is taken to maintain client comfort. I work to apply the correct treatment and modalities at the right time, to ensure maximum progress, while not overloading your central nervous system.
The forces of a motor vehicle accident ( MVA ) can wreak havoc on the human body in many ways and to varying degrees. Although you might have pain in your hand, ankle, or knee, most MVA patients have their most severe issues with their neck, lower back, and hips. These core issues often radiate to other parts of the body, compounding discomfort, range of motion and basic function problems
My goal for my MVA clients is to get to the bottom of all of the injuries that they have suffered. Since they are likely to be many and complex, it is so important to have a comprehensive plan. It is also essential to not only pinpoint the location of the physical damage but also to assess the impact of your central nervous system’s reaction to the trauma of the accident.
How Bodywork Works If You Have Had an MVA?
Soft tissue injuries and the associated inflammation and pain are common after you have had a car accident. Massage helps reduce inflammation and muscular tension, thereby reducing pain and speeding recovery of range of motion and body function.
My approach to bodywork seeks to calm your central nervous systems response to your trauma and injuries. Much of your pain is likely to be your body’s over protection responses to the underlying injuries. Calming your central nervous system promotes relaxation and supports your body’s natural healing processes.
Additionally, reduction of pain and discomfort from your car accident will improve your sleep quality. Meaningful rest is so important for healing and overall recovery from a traumatic event like a car accident.

MVA Reviews for Scott Schwartz
“For weeks I was in extreme pain in my calf. As Scott worked to loosen the muscles in the area and said he suspected the problem might be an entrapped nerve. It was amazing - I had come in crutches and walked out carrying them.”
— Sylvia L
“Scott is one of the best on the west coast. I've been seeing him for a year and he's the only one I have come across that can correctly deal with my chronic spine pain. I have happily recommended him to my orthopedic doctors.”
