If you have suffered an injury whilst on the roads in Victoria, you may be entitled to assistance with the cost of your physiotherapy. At Viva, we are dedicated to treating and curing victims of such accidents.

All our physiotherapists are qualified and registered to treat TAC clients.

Your initial treatment may consist of massage, mobilization, dry needling, stretching and advice.  Many people who undergo rehabilitation for a car accident also use exercise, hydrotherapy or Pilates to assist their recovery. We specialize in the area of exercise for rehabilitation and can advise you of the best and quickest path to recovery. We even have a fully equipped Clinical Pilates studio to help you along the way.

We ask you to cover the full cost of the consultation and then claim the consultation cost from TAC
