Can physio help after a cast or a walking boot?
If you are sporting a forearm cast or walking boot, you likely have recently broken a bone.
When you break bones in your forearm, wrist, leg, ankle, or foot, often your bone needs the opportunity to rest and glue itself together.
After your bones have healed and you are released from the confines of your cast or boot, you will often find that your leg or arm is stiff, achey, and/or weak. This is normal but needs to be addressed because it can lead to permanent impairments that will forever impact your ability to complete the activities you love.
At MOMENTUM Physical Therapy in Okotoks, our physios are trained to evaluate joints that are recently out of casts and walking boots. We develop personalized recovery programs to get your injured area back to where it was before your injury. The sooner you get started with your program, the sooner you will be back to your regular self.
If you have come out of a cast or walking boot (both recently or in the past) and are not back to where you want to be, call MOMENTUM today so we can get you back to your regular self. 403-982-5600
