Fracture Rehabilitation

Although bones typically heal within 6–12 weeks, the surrounding muscles, joints, and tissues often take longer to recover. Time in a cast or reduced movement can lead to stiffness, weakness, and loss of confidence in the injured area.

Without proper rehabilitation, it’s common to experience ongoing limitations that affect daily activities, work, or sport. A structured rehab plan helps restore movement, rebuild strength, and prevent long-term issues.

Early and guided physiotherapy plays a key role in helping you return to normal life safely and effectively.

Common Issues & Symptoms

After a fracture, it’s common to experience a range of physical challenges as your body recovers.

Common symptoms include:

• Stiffness and reduced range of movement
• Muscle weakness after immobilisation
• Pain when moving or putting weight through the area
• Swelling or discomfort around the joint
• Balance issues or reduced coordination
• Difficulty returning to normal movement or activity

If you’re experiencing these symptoms, targeted rehabilitation can help speed up your recovery.
