Fracture rehabilitation in Mohali
The bone has healed, the plaster is off, and the joint barely moves. Stiffness and weakness after immobilisation are common, and they respond to the right progression.
When it may help
Does this sound like you?
Immobilisation protects a healing bone, but muscles weaken and joints stiffen in the meantime. Fracture rehabilitation works in stages that match bone healing: early range, then strength, then function. It also deals with the fear of using the limb again, which can hold recovery back as much as stiffness.
- Stiffness after a cast or brace
- Weak grip after a wrist fracture
- Ankle stiffness after a fracture
- Shoulder stiffness after an arm fracture
- Pain when putting weight through the limb
- Swelling that returns with activity

Questions people ask
Still unsure? Ask Dr. Neha directly on WhatsApp. Describe what has become difficult and the clinic will suggest a starting point.
WhatsApp Dr. NehaWhen should I start physiotherapy after a fracture?
Often once your doctor removes the cast or allows movement. Some exercises for nearby joints can start earlier.
Why is my wrist so stiff after the plaster came off?
Joints and muscles stiffen during immobilisation. Guided exercise usually improves this over the following weeks.
Can I put weight on my leg?
That is your doctor's decision, based on X-rays. Physiotherapy follows the weight-bearing instructions you are given.
Do you treat fractures at home?
Selected patients can be seen at home when travel is difficult.
