, 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.
