A fracture is a break in the bone caused by trauma, stress, or medical conditions such as osteoporosis. However, the effects of a fracture extend beyond the bone itself.

• Muscles lose strength due to inactivity
• Joints become stiff and less mobile
• Balance and coordination may be affected
• Pain and fear of movement can develop

Bone Healing Phases

Bone healing occurs in three important stages:

🔹 Phase 1: Inflammatory Phase (0–7 Days)

Swelling, pain, and the body's initial healing response begin immediately after the fracture.

🔹 Phase 2: Reparative Phase (2–8 Weeks)

New bone tissue forms and gradually stabilizes the fractured area.

🔹 Phase 3: Remodeling Phase (2–12 Months)

The bone continues to strengthen, reshape, and adapt to normal movement and daily activities.

👉 This is where Fracture Rehabilitation Therapy plays a crucial role in restoring mobility, strength, flexibility, and overall function.

At Activelife Physiotherapy, we provide comprehensive rehabilitation for all types of fractures, helping patients regain strength, mobility, and confidence after injury.

Common Fracture Types

• Transverse fractures
• Oblique fractures
• Spiral fractures
• Comminuted fractures (multiple bone fragments)
• Stress fractures
• Compression fractures (spine)
• Avulsion fractures

Common Areas Treated

• Wrist and hand fractures
• Shoulder and clavicle injuries
• Hip and femur fractures
• Knee and tibia fractures
• Ankle and foot fractures
• Spine and pelvic fractures

Our orthopedic rehabilitation clinic provides personalized treatment programs to support complete recovery, regardless of the fracture type or location.

Many patients believe recovery ends when the cast is removed—but that’s only the beginning of the rehabilitation process.

Without proper Bone Injury Recovery Treatment, you may experience:

• Muscle weakness and loss of strength
• Joint stiffness and reduced flexibility
• Poor balance and coordination
• Persistent pain and discomfort
• Increased risk of re-injury

Physiotherapy helps reverse these effects by restoring mobility, rebuilding strength, improving function, and supporting a safe return to daily activities.

With a structured rehabilitation program, patients can achieve a faster recovery and regain confidence in movement.

At Activelife Physiotherapy, we follow a structured and personalized recovery plan.

✔ Comprehensive Assessment Includes:

• Fracture type and healing stage
• Range of motion and stiffness
• Muscle strength evaluation
• Pain and swelling assessment

This helps us design the most effective Fracture Rehabilitation Therapy tailored to your needs.

1. Early Pain & Swelling Management

We focus on reducing discomfort through:

• Elevation techniques
• Gentle movements
• Electrotherapy (TENS, IFT)

This supports effective Fracture Pain Management.

2. Joint Mobility Restoration

After immobilization, joints often become stiff. We use:

• Manual therapy
• Gentle mobilization techniques

to restore smooth and pain-free movement.

3. Strength Rehabilitation

Muscles weaken quickly after injury. We design progressive exercises to:

• Rebuild muscle strength
• Improve endurance
• Support the healing bone

4. Gait Training & Weight-Bearing Progression

For lower limb fractures, walking must be restored carefully. We guide you through:

• Partial to full weight-bearing progression
• Walking pattern correction
• Balance improvement

5. Balance & Proprioception Training

Fractures can affect body awareness and stability. We include:

• Stability exercises
• Coordination drills

to help prevent falls and re-injury.

6. Functional Rehabilitation

We help you return to daily life by training:

• Walking
• Climbing stairs
• Lifting and carrying
• Work-related activities

7. Hydrotherapy (If Needed)

Water-based therapy can help:

• Reduce joint stress
• Improve mobility
• Start early movement safely

8. Return to Sport & Work

For active individuals, we provide:

• Sport-specific rehabilitation
• Strength and agility training
• Safe return-to-play protocols

Hip fractures require intensive rehabilitation, especially in older adults.

Our rehabilitation program includes:

• Early mobilization
• Strength rebuilding exercises
• Fall prevention training
• Walking confidence restoration

This approach helps restore independence, improve mobility, and support a faster recovery.

Phase 1: Pain Relief & Protection

• Swelling control
• Gentle exercises
• Patient education

Phase 2: Mobility Restoration

• Joint movement exercises
• Light strengthening exercises

Phase 3: Strength & Function

• Muscle rebuilding
• Walking training

Phase 4: Advanced Rehabilitation

• Return-to-work training
• Return-to-sports rehabilitation
• Functional independence training

Phase 5: Prevention & Maintenance

• Bone health exercises
• Fall prevention strategies

• Post-surgical fracture recovery
• Hip fractures
• Wrist and ankle fractures
• Stress fractures in athletes
• Osteoporotic fractures
• Complex trauma rehabilitation

1. When should I start physiotherapy after a fracture?

You can begin Post-Fracture Physiotherapy within a few days after injury, even during immobilization, through safe and guided exercises.

2. How long does recovery take?

Recovery varies depending on the type and severity of the fracture:

• Simple fractures: 6–12 weeks
• Complex fractures: 3–6 months or longer

3. Is physiotherapy safe after surgery?

Yes. Physiotherapy is essential for restoring movement, strength, and function following surgical fracture fixation.

4. Can physiotherapy reduce pain after a fracture?

Absolutely. Our Fracture Pain Management techniques help reduce pain, improve mobility, and support the healing process.

5. Will I regain full movement?

With proper Bone Injury Recovery Treatment, most patients regain full or near-full function and return to their normal activities.

6. Can physiotherapy prevent future fractures?

Yes. Strength training, balance exercises, fall prevention strategies, and bone health education can help reduce the risk of future fractures.
