Physiotherapy is a science-based healthcare profession which views movement as central to health and well being. Physiotherapists aim to identify and make the most of movement ability by health promotion, preventive advice, treatment and rehabilitation. It is a health care profession primarily concerned with the remediation of impairments and disabilities and the promotion of mobility, functional ability, quality of life and movement potential through examination, evaluation, diagnosis and physical intervention carried out by Physical Therapists (known as Physiotherapists in some countries) and Physical Therapist Assistants (known as Physical Rehabilitation Therapists in some countries).


Did you know that you should see a physiotherapist instead of a general doctor after you fracture or break any of your bones.

when to start physiotherapy after a fracture

The time of commencement varies depending on your type and location of fracture. If you are consulting an Orthopaedic , then  please be guided by their opinion.
 
your physiotherapist will attempt to prevent post-fracture stiffness and weakness in the adjacent joints and muscles during the first seven weeks while your fracture is healing. Most commonly, we can safely work on the limb from two weeks post-fracture.

Then, after six weeks or later if X-rays show poor healing, your physiotherapist can work on regaining full joint range of motion and muscle strength that operate near or over the fracture site.
