Car Accident Physical Therapy at Home

A car accident can leave you with neck pain, back pain, stiffness or headaches that don't show up until days later. Many people wait for the pain to settle on its own, but the right movement, started early, usually speeds recovery and helps prevent long-term problems. UPT Services brings a Doctor of Physical Therapy to your home, so you can start rehab without driving to a clinic while you're still sore.
