Physical Therapy Treatment Phases After an Auto or Work Accident
There are four major phases of physical therapy treatment after an auto or work accident.
INITIAL ACUTE PHASE
The initial acute phase focuses on pain reduction to help you feel more comfortable and able to move forward with additional treatments. You’ll receive physical therapy modalities like manual therapy and gentle, often passive, exercises. Manual therapy reduces muscle spasms and restores mobility.

INTERMEDIATE PHASE
The intermediate phase of your physical therapy treatment focuses on regaining strength and mobility. You’ll receive a therapeutic, tailored home exercise program and spend time supervised by your physical therapist. Many treatments begun in the initial acute phase continue as you work to regain your strength and mobility.
ADVANCED PHASE
During the advanced phase, you’ll begin a gradual return to your normal activities and function. Your physical therapist guides you through supervised and home exercises to speed up your recovery.
ONGOING MAINTENANCE PHASE
Once you meet your recovery goals, your physical therapist guides you on transitioning into a maintenance program designed to prevent future injury. This phase reduces the risk of ongoing weakness that many would describe as having a “bad back” or a “trick knee.” Then, you discharge from physical therapy to independently continue your program.
