Hi,
I suggest you go to a doctor [md] not a massage therapist! Get the general evaluation done, and know the reason for your weakness. This might be or might not be related to the accident. Sometimes, nerve problems can cause weakness. Neck pain, headache can be related to your accident. The doctor will evaluate you and if needed orders few investigations like MRI, and the faster you get evaluated, the better the treatment is effective.
Hope this helps!
Thank you.
