Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Can physiotherapy speed up the healing process of a bone fracture?
A: While physiotherapy cannot directly speed up the healing of the bone, it plays a crucial role in optimizing recovery by promoting mobility, strength, and preventing complications during the healing process.
Q: When should I start physiotherapy after a bone fracture?
A: The timing of physiotherapy depends on the type and location of the fracture. In many cases, physiotherapy can begin once your healthcare provider determines it is safe to start, often shortly after the injury or following the removal of a cast or brace.
Q: Is it safe to put weight on the fractured limb during physiotherapy?
A: Our physiotherapists will guide you through weight-bearing exercises based on your specific fracture and treatment plan. The intensity and timing of weight-bearing exercises will be adjusted to ensure a safe and effective recovery.
Q: How long does it take to fully recover from a bone fracture with physiotherapy?
A: The duration of recovery varies depending on the type of fracture, individual factors, and adherence to the rehabilitation plan. Our team will work closely with you to establish a realistic timeline based on your progress.
