- We bill PIP and auto claims directly. PIP is no-fault, so coverage can apply regardless of who caused the crash.
- No referral is needed to book. We coordinate with your medical team when it makes sense to.
- We work with attorneys. We provide the ledger, records, and chart notes your claim needs — details on our attorneys & case managers page.
How massage helps after a car accident
After a collision, muscles and connective tissue can tighten to protect the injured area. That guarding can limit movement and contribute to neck, shoulder, back, and headache symptoms. Treatment is paced to where you are in recovery, with the goal of easing restriction and helping you move more comfortably.
Early sessions are gentle and responsive to your symptoms. As healing progresses, your therapist can address persistent tightness, reduced range of motion, and the compensation patterns that often linger after the initial injury.
What to do after a car accident
- Get evaluated. Symptoms can take a day or two to fully appear. Seek appropriate medical care after a crash.
- Open a PIP claim. Call your auto insurer and keep your claim number handy.
- Start treatment when appropriate. We will work within your recovery stage and coordinate with your care team as needed.
- Keep your care coordinated. If an attorney is involved, share their contact information so treatment records can be provided when needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does insurance cover massage after a car accident in Washington?
Yes. If you have PIP on your auto policy (Washington insurers have to offer at least $10,000), it covers massage therapy no matter who was at fault. We bill your auto insurance directly, and in most cases you pay nothing out of pocket.
How soon after a car accident should I start massage?
Within the first two weeks if you can. Starting early keeps scar tissue down and gets your body to release the muscle guarding before it settles in.
Do I need a doctor's referral?
No. You can book directly and start right away. We coordinate with your medical team when it makes sense to.
What if an attorney is handling my claim?
We work with your attorney's office directly and give them the treatment records your claim needs.
Do you treat work injuries too?
Yes. We also treat work injuries and accept Washington L&I and self-insured workers' compensation claims. For self-insured claims, we get authorization in place before treatment starts.
Which auto insurers do you bill?
All of the major ones. We bill PIP and auto claims directly to Progressive, State Farm, GEICO, Allstate, USAA, Safeco, Farmers, Liberty Mutual, and others. Bring your claim number and we'll take it from there.
What if I don't have PIP on my policy?
You still have options. Depending on your situation we can look at billing the at-fault driver's insurance, using your health insurance, or setting up self-pay. Call us and we'll walk through what fits.
What if the accident was my fault?
You're still covered. PIP is no-fault, so your own PIP pays for your care whether or not you caused the accident.
What happens if my PIP runs out?
If your PIP coverage is used up, we can move your care to your health insurance or a self-pay plan, and coordinate with your attorney if there's a claim in progress.
It's been a while since my accident. Is it too late to start?
Not necessarily. Earlier is better, but massage still helps with the muscle guarding and scar tissue that hang around for months after a crash. If you're still having symptoms, it's worth coming in.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Your auto claim number, your insurance details, and your adjuster's or attorney's contact info if you have one. That's what we need to start billing for you.
