Ever have whiplash from an accident?

If so did you go to Physical therapy? How long did you go or need?

I'm entering my second month and the therapist said typically whiplash clients go two to three months. I'm just wondering if I'll feel better in a month🤔

Luckily, no. I like to think that if it was ever needed, the head-rest would prevent that.

Some years ago the Police and insurance companies noticed an odd rise in whiplash-injury reports. Most were found to be fraudulent, sometimes linked with deliberately encouraging a rear-end collision to excuse the false claim.

@ArishMell I think even if your head was resting in the head rest, if there's enough force like my collision, the body will lunge slightly forward. And while I felt my body do that, and my head was not on the rest, because I wasn't parked or resting, I never felt my neck hurt until a day later!! But boy did it lurch that neck without me truly taking notice at the moment..I had SEVERE aches for months after ugh. Not all day, but off and on. That's terrible some were fraudulent wow.

@Coralmist I am very sorry to read that.

I don't claim the head-rest would entirely protect you at all, just lessen the effect.
