Bone Healing After Fracture and Surgery

Bone healing after fracture and surgery is a complex process involving four phases: hematoma formation, granulation tissue formation, bony callus formation, and bone remodelling.

The time it takes for a fracture to heal depends on the type and severity of the injury. Physical therapy can help in the healing process after fracture and surgery by reducing your pain, improving your mobility, and increasing your strength.

Tips for Figure Skaters

Figure skating is a highly technical sport that requires great skill and talent. Figure skaters put their bodies through repetitive movements that can lead to injuries to knees, hips, and ankles.

Physical therapy can help minimize the risk of injury by teaching you stretching and strengthening exercises and can also ensure you’re using the proper equipment on the ice.
