Physio for Fractures & Post-Surgery Rehabilitation

Your body can't differentiate between a traumatic fracture and a surgical procedure — either way, it will initially react with bleeding, swelling, inflammation and pain. Physiotherapy can help with these symptoms.

Drop us a line or keep reading to find out how we can support you with post-surgery or post-fracture physiotherapy.

The specialised intervention that we provide post-surgery (or post-fracture) will help to:

• Promote healing
• Maintain movement of the surrounding joints
• Maintain muscle strength
• Prevent compensatory movement and postures

It's important to start physiotherapy immediately after surgery, or once a fracture has been 'reduced' (i.e. when the bones are realigned and stabilised).

After surgery, or once your fracture has united, our physiotherapy team will devise a programme that's designed to progress your rehabilitation appropriately. This programme will be specific to you — some individuals will progress quickly, while others may need to be encouraged not to overdo it!

Your post-surgery / fracture physiotherapy programme will:

• Address any ongoing pain or swelling
• Restore joint movement and flexibility
• Restore muscle strength
• Improve proprioception / coordination
• Address obstacles preventing you from returning to everyday activities
• Include sport-specific drills / exercises

Early intervention by our physiotherapy team will maximise your rehabilitation potential and ensure that you can return to your usual activities as swiftly as possible.
