After a fracture heals, the joints near it are often stiff and the muscles weak from weeks in a cast. Physiotherapy safely restores movement and strength, and for elders after a hip fracture it is the key to walking again.

How physiotherapy helps

  • Restores joint movement after cast removal

Common questions

When should physiotherapy start after a fracture?+

Some exercises start even while the cast is on. Full rehab begins once the doctor confirms healing.

Why is my joint stiff after the plaster was removed?+

Immobilisation causes stiffness. It usually improves steadily with guided exercise.
