Post-Fracture Foot & Ankle Rehab
From immobilization back to full activity — structured progression.
After foot or ankle fracture immobilization, the joint is stiff, the muscles are deconditioned, and walking mechanics are typically off. Structured PT systematically restores motion, strength, and gait — substantially faster than trying to recover on your own.
Understanding
What is Post-Fracture Foot & Ankle Rehab?
Common foot/ankle fractures include lateral malleolus, bimalleolar/trimalleolar, calcaneal, metatarsal, and Lisfranc injuries. Each has its own healing biology and rehab considerations. We coordinate with the Axis Orthopedic trauma team for surgical fractures.
