Injury & fracture rehabilitation
Rebuild movement, strength and confidence after injury. At Physio Cure, rehabilitation is shaped around your assessment, your everyday goals and any instructions from your treating doctor or fracture clinic.
Fracture rehabilitation may follow treatment in a cast or splint, or an operation. The right starting point depends on the fracture, its healing stage and the activities your medical team has permitted.
When physiotherapy may help
After injury or a period of immobilisation, you may have stiffness, weakness or difficulty with walking, gripping, lifting and daily tasks. Physiotherapy can help address these problems when rehabilitation is appropriate.
Our existing rehabilitation services include elbow and wrist problems after fracture or immobilisation, finger stiffness following fracture, and ankle-fracture rehabilitation after medical clearance. Suitability is assessed individually; some injuries need specialist care.
Explore our upper-limb care, lower-limb care and muscle, joint and tendon rehabilitation. If you have had surgery, see post-operative rehabilitation.
Your fracture plan comes first
Follow the weight-bearing, movement, lifting and brace or cast instructions provided by your medical team. Do not increase loading or stop using prescribed support simply because pain has eased.
If your restrictions or clearance are unclear, we will clarify the plan before progressing the affected area. Physiotherapy does not replace fracture-clinic follow-up or medical checks of bone healing.
Your first appointment
Bring relevant scan reports, discharge information, fracture-clinic or surgical instructions, and any brace, splint or walking aid you use.
We discuss how the injury happened, current symptoms, treatment so far and what you want to regain. Assessment may include movement, strength, swelling and everyday function, within your restrictions. We explain the findings, discuss suitable options and agree on achievable goals.
A tailored rehabilitation plan
Depending on your injury and permitted activity, your plan may include:
- Education about precautions, pacing and managing daily tasks.
- Appropriate exercises to restore movement and gradually rebuild strength.
- Walking, balance or grip practice where relevant.
- Progressive preparation for work, exercise and the activities that matter to you.
Exercises and loading are adjusted as your function and medical guidance allow. Recovery differs between people and injuries. We review progress rather than promise a fixed recovery date or a guaranteed result.
When to seek urgent medical care
A suspected new fracture needs prompt medical assessment, not a routine rehabilitation appointment. Seek urgent care for worsening pain, new numbness or tingling, increasing swelling, loss of finger or toe movement, or a hand or foot becoming pale, blue or cold.
Fever, discharge, an unpleasant smell beneath a cast, or a cast that feels too tight also require medical advice. For a serious injury or a life-threatening emergency, call 000.
