Online physiotherapy after a fracture

When a cast, splint or sling comes off, the bone may have healed but the joint is usually stiff and the muscles weak. Physiotherapy brings back movement and strength, and after a leg fracture it helps you walk normally again. Your doctor decides how much weight and movement are safe. Your physiotherapist turns that into a daily plan. Sessions available in English, Telugu, and Hindi, and you can ask for a female or male physiotherapist.

Why online physiotherapy works for fracture rehabilitation

After a cast or surgery, the main treatment for stiffness and weakness is graded exercise, which can be guided and checked on video

Getting to a clinic is hard on crutches or when you cannot drive

Your physiotherapist follows your doctor's weight-bearing instructions exactly and progresses them as your X-rays allow

For older adults after a fall, your physiotherapist also looks at balance and home hazards to help prevent the next fall

When in-person care is better

See a doctor urgently for pain that keeps increasing, numbness, a cast that feels too tight, fingers or toes changing colour, a swollen painful calf, or breathlessness. Your physiotherapist will not progress weight bearing or loading beyond what your doctor has cleared, and will ask you to get an X-ray review if healing seems slower than expected.

Frequently asked questions

When should physiotherapy start after a fracture?
It depends on the fracture and how it was treated. Exercises for nearby joints can often start while you are still in a cast, and more begins once the cast or sling comes off or your surgeon gives clearance. Share your doctor's notes on WhatsApp and your physiotherapist will plan around them.
My wrist is still stiff weeks after the cast came off. Is that normal?
Some stiffness and weakness after a cast are very common, and they usually improve with a structured exercise plan. If the hand is very swollen, unusually painful or changing colour, or it is not improving, see your doctor as well.
My mother broke her hip. Can she do rehab online?
Yes, once she is home and can stand with a walker with a helper nearby. Rehab after a hip fracture focuses on walking, strength and preventing another fall. If she is very frail at first, start with in-person care and move online when she is ready.

Arranging this for a parent?

Many of our patients are older adults whose sons and daughters live in other cities or abroad. You can book on WhatsApp from anywhere, join sessions by video and receive progress updates.
