Our Bone Fracture Rehabilitation Services
Our comprehensive Bone Fracture Rehabilitation program includes a range of therapeutic services and treatments tailored to each patient’s specific needs and recovery goals:

• Comprehensive Evaluation and Personalized Care Plan: A thorough assessment to understand the nature and severity of your fracture, your overall health status, and any contributing factors. This evaluation forms the basis for a customized treatment plan focused on your specific needs.
• Immobilization Support and Education: Guidance on the proper use of splints, braces, slings, or casts to ensure correct alignment and stabilization of the fracture during the initial healing phase.
• Pain Management Techniques: Utilization of modalities such as ice and heat therapy, ultrasound, electrical stimulation (e.g., TENS), and manual therapy to help manage pain, reduce swelling, and promote healing.
• Manual Therapy: Gentle hands-on techniques to improve circulation, reduce stiffness, and maintain mobility in areas surrounding the fracture site. This helps prevent complications like joint stiffness and muscle atrophy.
• Therapeutic Exercises: Customized exercise programs designed to gradually restore strength, flexibility, and range of motion in the affected area. These exercises are progressed as healing occurs to ensure safe and effective recovery.
• Weight-Bearing and Functional Training: Gradual introduction of weight-bearing activities and functional exercises to rebuild strength, improve balance, and promote a return to normal activities as the bone heals.
• Balance and Gait Training: For fractures affecting the lower extremities, we provide gait training to improve walking patterns, enhance balance, and ensure safety during mobility. This may include the use of assistive devices like crutches or walkers.
• Scar Tissue Management (Post-Surgical): Techniques such as soft tissue mobilization and massage to help reduce scar tissue formation, improve tissue flexibility, and minimize adhesions after surgery.
• Joint Mobilization and Range of Motion Exercises: Gentle mobilization and stretching exercises to improve joint mobility and prevent stiffness in adjacent joints, ensuring comprehensive recovery.
• Strengthening and Stabilization Exercises: Strengthening exercises targeting the muscles surrounding the fracture site to support recovery and prevent muscle atrophy. Core stabilization exercises may also be included to provide support and stability.
• Postural Correction and Body Mechanics Education: Education on proper posture, body mechanics, and safe movement strategies to protect the healing bone and prevent re-injury.
• Osteoporosis Management and Fall Prevention (if applicable): For patients with osteoporosis or those at risk of fractures, we offer tailored programs focusing on bone health, fall prevention strategies, and exercises to improve strength and balance.
• Home Exercise Program: A personalized home exercise program to complement in-clinic therapy, promoting continued progress and faster recovery outside of the therapy setting.
