Recovery from fractures requires careful progression through specific healing phases. Our fracture care services begin immediately after cast removal or surgical fixation, focusing initially on a gentle range of motion to prevent stiffness. As bone healing progresses, we introduce progressive weight-bearing exercises following your surgeon’s timeline. Our therapists monitor healing milestones closely, gradually increasing load and activity intensity to restore full strength and function.
