Whether you’ve suffered a minor fracture or a complex break, our experienced physiotherapists are here to guide you through every step of your recovery journey.

Understanding Fractures

A fracture is a medical condition where a bone cracks or breaks due to trauma, overuse, or underlying conditions like osteoporosis. Common types of fractures include:

  • Simple fractures – A single break that does not pierce the skin.
  • Compound fractures – Bone breaks through the skin, increasing infection risk.
  • Greenstick fractures – Common in children, where the bone bends but doesn’t completely break.
  • Comminuted fractures – Bone shatters into multiple pieces, often requiring surgical intervention.

Prompt and appropriate treatment is essential to avoid long-term complications such as chronic pain, limited Mobility, or improper bone healing.

The Fracture Recovery Process

Recovery from a fracture depends on several factors, including the type of fracture, your age, overall health, and adherence to therapy. A typical physiotherapy plan may include:

  • Acute Phase: Focuses on reducing pain, swelling, and protecting the fracture site.
  • Mobilization Phase: Gentle movement and stretching to prevent stiffness and maintain joint function.
  • Strengthening Phase: Progressive exercises to rebuild muscle strength and improve bone stability.
  • Functional Training: Activities to restore balance, coordination, and standard movement patterns.

Our goal is not just to heal the bone but to ensure a full return to your pre-injury lifestyle.
