Fracture Recovery Physiotherapy – At Home
Understanding Fracture Recovery
A fracture, or broken bone, can significantly affect your everyday life – whether it is wrist, arm, hip, ankle or leg. After the bone heals, many individuals are omitted by stiffness, weakness, low mobility and fears of re-injury. Fracture recovery physiotherapy focuses on restoring movement, strength, and function once the cast, splint, or surgical fixations are removed. Home -based rehabilitation is especially useful for complex brakes, elderly patients or those who want to avoid traveling. With personal guidance, patients can safely gain independence and return to normal life with confidence.
Common Challenges After a Fracture
Joint Stiffness and Reduced Range of Motion
Prolonged immobilisation often leads to stiffness around the affected joint, which restricts daily mobility.
Muscle Weakness
Lack of use can destroy significant muscle. The strength should be safely rebuilt to support the recovered bone.
Swelling and Pain
Swelling around the injury site can persist and interfere with comfort, circulation, and movement.
Fear of Re-Injury
People, especially older ones, frequently lose the confidence to use the injured limb after an accident or fracture.
Poor Balance or Gait
During the healing process, lower limb fractures may cause trouble walking or bad posture.
Difficulty with Daily Activities
Works like dressing, standing, climbing stairs or elevating objects may be a challenge.
