Whiplash
Whiplash is the term used to describe the neck injuries that occur due to a sudden movement of the neck. It involves the acceleration and deceleration of the cervical spine (neck). It causes a sudden strain to the vertebrae, muscles, tendons and ligaments of the cervical spine.
These ladies are the pain solving experts. I have had the pleasure of their expertise for my various pain issues. They have even convinced me to try Pilates as a method of pain relief (and it works). Professional and fun loving place to be.
