Post-Fracture Rehabilitation
About the disease & condition
Post-fracture rehabilitation focuses on restoring mobility and strength after a fracture. After immobilisation in a cast or surgery, joints may become stiff and muscles weak. Rehabilitation helps regain flexibility, coordination, and functional ability. Early guided movement prevents complications such as joint stiffness or muscle atrophy. A personalized physiotherapy plan ensures safe recovery and gradual return to normal activities while minimizing risk of re-injury.
