“Coach Sheldon and the whole team have been excellent. Auto accident left me with whiplash and a wrecked low back. Six months in, I'm back to skiing. Honest, evidence-based, and they listen.”

Physical Therapy · Whiplash & motor vehicle accident
Move like yourself again after the accident.
Whiplash and accident injuries don't always show up on imaging, but they show up when you turn your head, sleep on your side, or sit through a long meeting. Early, structured care makes a real difference in how the next year feels.
- PIP-covered. We coordinate directly with your insurance carrier
- Starting sooner usually means a smoother recovery: within 30 days when you can
- Hands-on manual therapy now, plus a plan to restore strength and movement as you heal
What you're feeling
Is whiplash & motor vehicle accident starting to shape what you'll do and what you skip?
Whiplash is a rapid acceleration–deceleration of the neck that strains soft tissue, joints, and the nervous system itself. Underneath the obvious neck symptoms: a stiff mid-back, deep neck flexors that won't fire, and a sensitized nervous system that needs time and the right inputs to settle. Imaging often looks normal. That doesn't mean nothing happened.
What we usually hear- A.Neck stiffness that wasn't there before the collision
- B.Headaches at the base of the skull, often delayed 24–72 hours
- C.Shoulder, upper-back, or jaw tension
- D.Difficulty turning your head to check blind spots
- E.Sleep disruption, finding a comfortable position
- F.Brain fog, fatigue, or anxiety in the weeks after

From your first visit to moving better for good.
01
Find it.
A 60-minute first visit with a PT or coach: postural pictures, a full movement assessment, baseline numbers. We find where your body is compensating, not just the joint that hurts.
02
Restore the movement.
Manual therapy, targeted programming, progressive loading, aimed at the movement vulnerability driving the pain, not around it. Same practitioner every visit, and the plan adjusts as your movement changes.
03
Reinforce it.
When your tissue can take it, the same system carries into classes and small-group training, reinforcing better movement about 3x a week until it's just how you live. Members come for relief and stay for years because the system keeps progressing.
How we work
Our approach to whiplash & motor vehicle accident.
Manual therapy for the neck and mid-back, neural mobilization, deep-neck-flexor activation, and a graduated return to load. The same find-restore-reinforce system we run for everything else. We coordinate directly with your PIP carrier and treating physician; the paperwork is part of what we do, not your problem to solve.

“It is times like this that I truly wish there was a 6 star option. From the initial visit to the coaches checking in with my progress after classes, I could not be happier with my ADAPT experience. They have exceeded all my expectations.”

Why ADAPT
Five reasons members come, and stay for a decade.
01
One system, not a handoff.
Your PT and your coach aren't running separate playbooks. They read the same intake and apply the same movement principles, so restoring better movement in the clinic and reinforcing it in training is one continuous plan, not a baton pass.
02
Direct access in Oregon: no referral required.
Skip the doctor's-office stop-over. Walk in, get assessed, start moving better. PT is cash-pay: only motor-vehicle-accident (PIP) insurance is billed.
03
Same practitioner every visit.
Continuity that compounds. Each session builds on the last because the same eyes track how your movement is changing, and consistency is what actually changes the body.
04
Long-arc, not quick-fix.
A few weeks of relief is fine. Decades of capability is the goal. Getting older doesn't mean giving things up. Members come in for one problem and stay for years because the system keeps progressing with them.
05
We read movement, not just imaging.
Imaging describes the structure. The movement assessment shows where your body is compensating and loading the wrong tissue. We work with what your body actually does, then restore it doing the right job.

What to expect
Get your week back from whiplash & motor vehicle accident.
Most acute symptoms typically settle within six to twelve weeks of consistent care when treatment starts within thirty days of the accident. Delayed care can stretch that out: earlier is better.
Why the system works
- Comprehensive assessment. Postural pictures, full movement screen, and a baseline you can measure progress against. Numbers, not vibes.
- A plan built for your body.Shaped around your goals, your imaging, and what your body actually does, not what it's supposed to do.
- Same practitioner, every visit. Continuity that compounds. The plan adjusts as your movement changes.
- Reinforced until it sticks.As the pain quiets, the same system carries into classes and small-group training so the gains don't slide back.
