Recovering from fracture surgery requires expert care to ensure your bone and surrounding tissues heal correctly and you regain full function. At

Body Fix Physio Clinic

, our specialised post-surgical fracture rehabilitation programmes are designed to guide you through every phase of your recovery—from your first post-op movements to a confident return to your daily life.

What is Post-Surgical Fracture Rehabilitation?

Post-surgical fracture rehabilitation is a critical, physiotherapist-led process that begins after orthopaedic surgery to repair a broken bone (e.g., with plates, screws, or rods). This specialised form of orthopaedic rehabilitation is essential for:

• Managing post-surgery pain and swelling
• Preventing joint stiffness and muscle atrophy
• Restoring normal range of motion and strength
• Ensuring the bone heals in a functional position
• Facilitating a safe return to work, sport, and daily activities

A structured fracture recovery protocol is not optional; it’s the key to a successful outcome and preventing long-term complications.
