After a fracture, your bones need more than just rest — they need safe, gradual weight-bearing to heal properly.
Why weight-bearing matters:
• Stimulates bone growth – mechanical load signals bones to strengthen
• Improves healing time – encourages proper bone alignment and density
• Maintains muscle strength – prevents atrophy around the injured area
• Supports balance & mobility – keeps joints and muscles functional
Your physiotherapist or biokineticist will guide when and how to safely start weight-bearing exercises to ensure optimal recovery.
