Do you know any therapy for a leg injury ( fractured tibia and fibula)?


Do you know any therapy for a leg injury ( fractured tibia and fibula)?

Ouch. That is a serious injury. Any time you injure a weight bearing bone, you will need a professional assessment and ongoing rehab with your Physical Therapist. Rehab and recovery from this type of injury can take up to 6 months or longer.

You can probably look up treatment modalities for this injury on the internet (or take answers from those who do the same), but I would strongly suggest you stick with your Physical Therapist as a source of information, as your situation may be unique in relation to location of fractures, muscles affected and rehab protocols necessary for healing.

bones heal quicker if subjected to mechanical vibration. Sit on your washing machine for the spin cycle, or if you have an old car/bike with a big growly engine, just sit in it at idle.

You'll be on your feet in no time.
