Physiotherapy after Hip Fracture Surgery

Physiotherapy after hip fracture surgery is crucial for recovery. It helps to restore movement, strength, and balance to the hip and surrounding muscles. Initially, a physiotherapist guides gentle exercises to improve mobility, often starting with bed exercises. As healing progresses, patients gradually increase activity, with walking aids if needed. The goal is to regain independence and reduce the risk of future falls. Regular physiotherapy sessions also focus on pain management and educating patients on safe movement strategies to enhance overall recovery and improve quality of life. This process typically follows a personalized rehabilitation plan based on individual needs.
