my 10 year old, any help appreciated please!

Hi All,
Newbie here seeking helpppp! My daughter had a neck injury at school a month ago, (she was accidentally knocked into from behind causing a whiplash type jarr to her neck. Has been x-rayed and no damage just in spasm) she has been constantly on the brink of tears since. She looks so sad. She is now finding that (due to her being so sad) she is losing friends (only so much sympathy 10/11 year olds have I guess!) and feels like she is not fitting in at all.
She refuses to help herself. Wont let me touch her to give her a gentle massage, I have to remind her all the time to do the exercises she has been given. Seen GP twice A&E twice and reflexology session.
I'm at the end of my tether! tried being gentle, tough love, etc etc and it's keeping me awake at night worrying about her. She is going to alienate herself. I probably sound really harsh but I feel so helpless!
Any suggestions to get her moving and cheer her up!!?
Thanks, Claire x

How about finding a yoga class that you could both go to? Or suggest that she takes a friend along too? That way she'll gently exercise her neck without realising it.

Or how about a referral for physio? It might be that a single session of ultrasound would give her a good start and being more pain free, she'd feel ok about doing the exercises. It might be she's scared of her neck hurting when she's doing the exercises.
