Summary | Physiotherapy after a bone fracture

Summary

In order to keep a bone healthy, movement and physiological stress are absolutely essential. The body constantly adapts to external conditions: what is promoted is built up, what is not needed is broken down – and so is the bone mass. A little exercise and sport every day, plus a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet, protect the bones.

Calcium and vitamin D are crucial for stability, so it’s better to take a jog from the treadmill in the gym outdoors, catch a few rays of sunshine and boost vitamin D production in the body. Thus your bones remain or become strong and resilient. A broken bone is a relatively common injury, but thanks to routine surgical procedures it usually heals positively.

For each localization there are a number of exercises from physiotherapy that support the body and the bone in its regeneration. It takes a long time from the formation of temporary bone substance to hardened stable bone, but the chances of returning to the original function are basically good. Patience and initiative to practice, as well as a healthy lifestyle, help a positive course.
