Frequently asked questions
When should I start physiotherapy after a fracture?
Rehabilitation can begin as soon as your treating doctor clears you for movement, often immediately after cast removal or as guided by your surgeon.
How long does fracture rehabilitation take?
Most patients regain good functional use in 8-16 weeks. Full strength and confidence may take 3-6 months depending on the fracture type.
