Can Physical Therapy help strengthen a tibia bone break between my knee and ankle once it heals?
After your bone break (fracture) has healed your attending physician may refer you to physical therapy for evaluation and treatment if required. If that is the case, your physical therapist will evaluate your needs and build a program which will enhance your recovery process. This can include pain control, stretching, strengthening, gait improvement, and return to former function. The density of our bones and our muscles that surround the fracture site both benefit from exercise. If physical therapy services have been prescribed we can be contacted at the listing above.
