Post Fracture Stiffness

Targeted therapy to restore joint mobility and function after fracture healing.

Overview

Post-fracture stiffness is a common complication that can persist long after bone healing. Our specialized program addresses joint contractures, muscle atrophy, and movement limitations through progressive mobilization techniques. We combine manual therapy, progressive loading, and functional retraining to restore full range of motion and strength.

Benefits

Restored joint range of motion and flexibility
Reduced pain and swelling in affected joints
Rebuilding of muscle strength and endurance
Improved functional movement patterns
Prevention of long-term joint contractures
Faster return to work and recreational activities
Customized home program for ongoing maintenance

Our Process

1

Post-Fracture Assessment

Evaluation of fracture healing status, joint ROM, muscle strength, swelling, and functional limitations after cast removal.

2

Mobilization & Edema Control

Gentle joint mobilizations, manual edema mobilization, and progressive passive/active-assisted range of motion exercises.

3

Progressive Strengthening

Graduated resistance training, proprioceptive exercises, and functional task training to rebuild strength and coordination.

4

Advanced Functional Training

Sport/work-specific drills, impact loading progression, and discharge with comprehensive home exercise program.

Frequently Asked Questions

Therapy typically begins immediately after cast removal once the fracture is clinically and radiographically healed, usually 6-8 weeks post-injury.
No. Once your doctor confirms adequate bone healing, controlled movement is essential to prevent stiffness and promote bone remodeling.
Most patients regain functional range of motion within 8-12 weeks of consistent therapy, though severe cases may take longer.
