Is this what you're experiencing?
It's common to experience stiffness, weakness, or limited movement after a fracture or cast removal.
You may feel:
- 01Stiff joints after fracture
- 02Pain during movement
- 03Muscle weakness
- 04Difficulty walking or lifting
- 05Reduced joint flexibility
Helping You Return to Everyday Movement
What's happening inside your body
As your bone heals, the surrounding muscles and joints may become stiff and weaker from reduced movement. Rehabilitation helps restore strength and mobility.
Bone Healing
The fractured bone gradually repairs.
Joint Stiffness
Reduced movement limits flexibility.
Muscle Weakness
Immobilisation decreases muscle strength.
Functional Limitations
Daily activities become challenging.
Why rehabilitation is important
Recovering from a fracture isn't just about bone healing, it's about moving comfortably and confidently again.

- Rebuild muscle strength25%
- Improve flexibility15%

FAQs
Answers to common questions about your recovery
Rehabilitation usually begins once your orthopaedic specialist confirms it is safe, depending on the type of fracture and healing stage. In many cases gentle guided movement can start even while the limb is still protected, which helps limit stiffness and muscle loss.
Yes. After a cast is removed the joint is often stiff and the surrounding muscles are weak. Guided mobility work, progressive strengthening, and balance training help restore normal movement and rebuild confidence in the limb.
Early improvements in movement and comfort are often felt within 2–6 weeks. A complete programme typically runs 6–12 weeks, depending on the bone involved, your healing progress, age, and how consistently exercises are followed.
Bone healing and functional recovery are not the same thing. Weeks of immobilisation tighten the joint capsule and weaken surrounding muscles, so stiffness commonly remains after the bone has united. Structured rehabilitation addresses this directly.
Range-of-motion work, gradual loading and strengthening of the surrounding muscles, balance and gait training, and task-specific practice suit most people. Your physiotherapist selects and progresses these based on your healing stage and pain tolerance.
