ICBC’s No-Fault Benefits Scheme (aka Part 7 Benefits) requires mandatory coverage of massage therapy benefits.
But what are the benefits of massage to help recovery following personal injury experienced in an auto accident?
According to massage therapists and others, following personal injury, massage:
- Stimulates tissue healing
- Reduces muscle spasms
- Increases joint flexibility
- Lowers blood pressure
- Reduces stress and anxiety
- Retrains soft tissue to function properly
- Release endorphins
