Fracture Rehabilitation

Physical therapy after a fracture is the reason why a large number of clients come to us. The duration of rehabilitation depends on the location and type of fracture, the time that has passed since the fracture and the current condition. On average, rehabilitation after a fracture takes 3–6 weeks.

Since immobilisation (a cast or splint) is required after a fracture, this most often leads to reduced circulation and swelling in the area of the fracture, muscle atrophy or wasting and reduced range of motion in the immobilised joint.

Pain is also often present after a fracture, and with physical therapy we effectively reduce pain and restore muscle strength and mobility.

HOW DO WE CARRY OUT FRACTURE REHABILITATION AT OUR POLYCLINIC?

Therapy is tailored individually and, depending on the type of fracture, includes:

• Manual lymphatic drainage, which, combined with electrotherapy (electrical stimulation, laser, ultrasound), stimulates circulation and speeds up regeneration;
• Manual therapy, which includes work on mobility and activation exercises;
• Various high-tech devices: TECAR therapy and/or SIS (Super Inductive System) therapy
• The final stage of therapy includes targeted therapeutic exercises to strengthen the muscles!

After rehabilitation, we can expect:

• Full range of motion in the immobilised joint;
• Normal circulation and the return of muscle strength;
• Proper joint and muscle function!
