Post Fracture Physiotherapy

What is Post Fracture Physiotherapy?

Rehabilitation aims to help people recover, reach their full potential, and live as full and active lives as possible.
So, if you have recently suffered a fracture, keep in mind that early physiotherapy treatment is critical to ensuring a full recovery. It is safe to begin physiotherapy as soon as casting/bracing/splinting is removed. To avoid stiffness and restrictions in movement later, it is safe to begin with mild range of motion exercises while wearing the cast/splints.

What if you don’t get Physiotherapy after a fracture?

Physiotherapy is an important step in rehabilitation after a fracture. You may end up with weak lower or upper limbs and severely stiff and painful joints, even though the fracture has healed well.

How long do you need Physiotherapy for a Fracture?

After your fracture has healed and/or your cast has been removed, Post Fracture Physiotherapy Rehabilitation typically lasts 6 to 8 weeks, but your programme may be slightly shorter or longer depending on your circumstances.
