Hi,

As due to the accident it will be in the sitting position inside and has damaged some soft tissue in the knee as well as the lower back. This is one of the commonest thing happens in car accident.

Having an MRI of knee and lower back should yield some insights to the soft tissues pathology at the respective joint. Doing hot water fermentation to back and knee is advised.

Core stability exercise, spinal muscle strengthening exercises, static Quadriceps and static hamstring along with hip strengthening exercises should yield good results.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
