What to Expect When You Visit Our Physiotherapist for Upper Limb Fractures

When you visit us after an upper limb fracture, we assess joint stiffness, strength, pain, and functional use of the arm. Treatment focuses on restoring movement, improving strength, and regaining hand and arm function through targeted exercises and manual therapy.

Factors Influencing Recovery Speed

↑

Early Mobilisation

• Safe movement helps reduce stiffness. • Using the hand and arm appropriately supports function.

Consistent Strengthening

• Regular exercises rebuild grip, arm strength and confidence. • Functional practice helps daily tasks feel easier.

↓

Prolonged Immobilisation

• Staying still for too long can increase joint stiffness. • Swelling may also make movement feel harder.

Poor Compliance

• Irregular rehab can delay strength and range recovery. • Function often lags when exercises are not repeated consistently.

What does the Evidence say?
Early mobilisation and rehabilitation improve outcomes after upper limb fractures, particularly in restoring movement and function. References Wakefield, A. E., & McQueen, M. M. (2000). The role of physiotherapy in wrist fracture recovery. Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, 82(7), 972–976.
