I would like to know some more details about the injuries you had. If the injuries have made any permanent disability to the normal moments of the joints? Yoga would certainly increase your flexibility and increase the stability of the body parts. if the accident has not caused any permanent joint damage then Doing the Basic Yoga postures Will benefit you. Also try to do suryanamaskar daily.
