Other Orthopedic Cases
Post Fractures
Post fractures rehabilitation after serious injuries can leave an individual with a serious loss of function. Depending on the type and location of the fracture, the individual may require surgery to restore normal bone alignment to allow the bone to heal or a simple sling to support the injured limb. A proper rehabilitation program following a fracture is imperative.
Our physiotherapists are qualified at post-fracture rehabilitation to restore pre-injury function as fast as possible.

Tennis elbow:
Tennis elbow is a type of tendinitis — swelling of the tendons — that causes pain in the elbow and arm. These tendons are bands of tough tissue that connect the muscles of your lower arm to the bone. Despite its name, you can still get tennis elbow even if you’ve never been near a tennis court. Instead, any repetitive gripping activities, especially if they use the thumb and first two fingers, may contribute to tennis elbow. Tennis elbow is the most common reason that people see their doctors for elbow pain. It can pop up in people of any age, but it’s most common at about age 40.
