For low back pain, neck, knee & shoulder injuries, tendonitis or any other joint or muscle problems, a physiotherapist can help in pain & restore strength comfort & activity

Did you know that you should see a physiotherapist after you fracture or break any of your bones.

Unfortunately when you have enough stress placed through your body to fracture a bone there’s usually a lot of other soft tissues and structures that have been damaged in the process. Add to that the common use of immobilisation in plaster, you’ll have joint stiffness and considerable muscle weakness.

Typically, your physiotherapist will attempt to prevent post-fracture stiffness and weakness in the adjacent joints and muscles during the first six weeks while your fracture is healing. After six weeks or later if X-rays show poor healing, your physiotherapist can work on regaining full joint range of motion and muscle strength that operate near or over the fracture site.
