Fractures Physiotherapy
Personalised treatment plan
A fracture is a break or crack in a bone. Fractures can range from small hairline cracks to complete breaks that may require surgical fixation.
Depending on the severity, fractures may take weeks or months to heal. While bones usually mend with rest and immobilisation, physiotherapy is essential to restore strength, movement, and function once the bone begins to heal.
What Does Fractures Cause?
Fractures can lead to a variety of physical challenges, even after the bone itself has healed. These may include:
- Pain, swelling, and tenderness around the affected area
- Stiffness in the nearby joints due to immobilisation (plaster cast, brace, or surgery)
- Muscle weakness and loss of strength from reduced use
- Reduced flexibility and range of motion
- Difficulty with daily activities such as walking, lifting, or carrying out work tasks
- Increased risk of re-injury if proper rehabilitation is not completed
Without structured rehabilitation, people often experience long-term stiffness, weakness, or reduced mobility in the affected area.
How Can Physiotherapy Help with Fractures?
Fractures Physiotherapy in Birmingham plays a vital role in helping you recover fully after a broken bone. Once your fracture has healed sufficiently (as confirmed by your doctor or consultant), physiotherapy focuses on restoring function, strength, and confidence. Treatment may include:
- Gradual exercises to improve strength, flexibility, and range of motion in the affected area.
- Manual therapy and joint mobilisation to reduce stiffness and restore normal movement.
- Balance and stability training to prevent falls and re-injury.
- Pain management techniques, including education on pacing, safe activity levels, and the use of heat or cold therapy.
- Rehabilitation programmes tailored to your lifestyle, whether that’s returning to work, sport, or daily independence.
- Education and advice on safe movements, joint protection, and preventing future fractures (particularly important in osteoporosis).
The aim is not only to help the bone heal but also to rebuild your strength and function so you can safely return to normal life.
