Back on Your Feet: Physiotherapy After a Fracture

Breaking a bone can disrupt your daily life significantly. While immobilization using a cast or surgery is essential for bone healing, it often leads to stiffness, muscle weakness, and reduced mobility. This is where fracture rehabilitation physiotherapy plays a crucial role in helping you return to normal life safely and effectively.

1. What Happens After a Fracture?

Once the bone starts healing, the surrounding muscles and joints may become stiff due to inactivity. Common issues include:

• Joint stiffness and reduced range of motion
• Muscle weakness due to immobilization
• Pain and swelling in the affected area
• Difficulty in performing daily activities like walking or lifting

2. The Role of Physiotherapy in Fracture Recovery

Physiotherapy ensures that recovery is not just about bone healing, but also about restoring full function. Our rehabilitation approach includes:

• Mobility Exercises: Gentle movements to restore joint flexibility and prevent stiffness.
• Strength Training: Gradual exercises to rebuild muscle strength and support the healing bone.
• Pain & Swelling Management: Techniques like ice therapy, ultrasound, and manual therapy.
• Functional Training: Helping you return to walking, climbing stairs, and daily tasks safely.

Scientific evidence supports that early and guided rehabilitation significantly improves outcomes after fractures and reduces long-term complications.
