Professor Michele Sterling introduces My Whiplash Navigator:

Whiplash Navigator is a self-directed program that has been developed to guide people in their recovery following whiplash injury. Most people recover well from a whiplash injury although at different rates. No injury is the same as another. Therefore, this comprehensive program has been developed with information and exercises to help you track and take control of your recovery.

Whiplash Navigator is based on the best available scientific evidence about whiplash. Throughout your recovery you will work with your nominated health professional. In some cases, you will also be guided by another health professional with specialist expertise in whiplash treatment.
