Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I start physiotherapy after a fracture?

The timing depends on the fracture type and your surgeon's instructions. For some fractures, gentle mobilisation begins within days; for others, a period of immobilisation is needed first. Your physiotherapist will work from your surgeon's protocol and will not start active rehabilitation before it is clinically appropriate.

Can a physiotherapist come to my home while I am in a cast or brace?

Yes. During immobilisation, home physiotherapy focuses on exercises that maintain movement and strength in unaffected areas, prevent muscle wasting where possible, and prepare for the post-immobilisation rehabilitation phase. Your therapist will assess what is appropriate at each stage of your recovery.

Is post-fracture physiotherapy different for elderly patients?

Yes. For elderly patients recovering from hip or vertebral fractures, physiotherapy is more conservative in loading progression, places greater emphasis on fall prevention and balance training, and pays close attention to bone density and general mobility limitations. A home visit allows your therapist to assess and address specific fall risks in your home environment.
