Once the fractured body part comes out from the cast or the bandage, we will accomplish the recovery with the physiotherapy treatment. We ensure we heal you through our post-fracture physiotherapy specialist in Seawoods.
Why post-fracture physiotherapy?
Extra stress enters the body for bone fracture. Because of the plaster, you get joint stiffness and muscle weakness. Because of the pressure, various soft tissues and structures also get damaged.
Stress impacts joints that do not have a link to the breakage of the bone. For example, if you have a fractured shoulder, you may have the following:
- Stiff elbow
- Stiff wrist
The reason is that your shoulder has been in a sling for some weeks. So we will offer you physiotherapy through our post-fracture physiotherapy specialist at Seawoods.
Muscle strength
We will offer you physiotherapy rehabilitation so that you get the muscle strength back. Our therapy will depend on the type of fracture. We will start the treatment after the removal of the cast.
After the healing of the bone, we will provide you with the aggressive motion exercises. We will also tell you to make use of assistive devices.
