Get Back on Your Feet: The Importance of Physiotherapy After a Fracture

You may be unable to walk, work, or even do daily tasks as a result of a bone fracture. Physiotherapy is crucial for restoring your range of motion, even while medical care aids in bone healing. Our goal at Regain Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Clinic is comprehensive recovery, which includes pain management and full movement restoration.

Why Physiotherapy Is Important

A broken bone is typically useless for several weeks. Simple actions become challenging, joints grow tight, and muscles weaken throughout this period. You can gradually regain your usual range of motion, strength, and flexibility with the use of physiotherapy. It also aids in lowering swelling and soreness.

How Physiotherapy Helps

In order to increase blood flow and avoid stiffness, mild activities are initially introduced. To strengthen the muscles surrounding the damaged area, strengthening activities are then added.

• For arm or wrist fractures: exercises improve grip and hand movement.

• For leg or hip fractures: therapy focuses on walking, balance, and confidence.

Building Confidence and Independence

Many people hesitate to move the affected portion after a fracture. A physiotherapist walks you through each stage and teaches you safe sitting, walking, and movement techniques. You gradually regain the confidence to carry out your daily tasks, such as driving, lifting objects, and climbing stairs.

Special Care for Elderly and Athletes

Physiotherapy is crucial for older persons to avoid chronic stiffness and falls in the future. It helps athletes safely resume sports by enhancing their coordination, strength, and flexibility.

Stay Consistent for Better Results

It needs patience and time to recover. Healing might be slowed down by skipping therapy appointments or performing exercises improperly. Frequent physical treatment and at-home workouts speed up and improve the effectiveness of recuperation.
