Post-Fracture Rehabilitation
Usually the causes of a fracture are preceded by physical nature activities such as falls or auto accidents. They can also occur by internal factors like osteoporosis or muscular stress.
After a fracture it is advisable to have an exercise routine and therapeutic treatment to recover injured area function, which varies depending on the type and fracture location.
Our physiotherapists are trained to prevent stiffness and post-fracture weakness in joints and adjacent muscles. They will work to regain the full range of muscle movements and strength that operate near or over the fracture site.
