There a hundreds of physical therapy types and techniques that have been
used to treat whiplash. PT can be an effective treatment for all stages of whiplash,
only if the practitioner knows what to do and when. As an example, out of any 100
PT's in my home state, the breakdown is as follows:
- 25 should never treat whiplash
due to lack of training
- 25 should only treat the
easiest cases due to lack of training
- 25 are OK to treat mild
whiplash in the first 1-2 months due to lack of training
- 20 are good to treat the
mild-moderate cases

trend? Just like in any other area of medicine, training is key.
