Typical Symptoms:
Common Causes:
After a bone has healed, rehabilitation is crucial to regain lost muscle strength, range of motion, and overall functional ability. We use progressive exercises tailored to your stage of recovery and any hardware or weight-bearing restrictions you may have. At our Palm Beach County clinics, we commonly treat fractures resulting from sports injuries, slips, or age-related fragility. Early sessions usually focus on gentle mobility to reduce stiffness and address any compensations developed while you were immobilized. Later, resistance training, gait re-education (if the fracture affected the lower body), and balance activities help you return to everyday tasks—like climbing stairs or driving—without pain or instability.

Key Benefits:
Recovery times vary depending on fracture severity and personal factors like age and overall health. Many people see restored function within 6–12 weeks, but complex fractures can take longer. Adhering to your physical therapist’s instructions—especially regarding weight-bearing and strengthening progressions—ensures the best possible outcome. Periodic check-ins at Be On The Move locations in Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, Lake Worth, and Wellington help track healing and gradually reintroduce challenging activities.
Do I need an X-ray before starting rehab?
Yes, generally you’ll need clearance from your physician showing that the fracture is stable or healed enough to begin therapy.
Is it normal to feel pain when I first start using the limb again?
Mild discomfort is common, but we closely monitor your progress to ensure you’re challenging yourself safely.
Is your pain keeping you from fully enjoying your day?
Do you wish it would just disappear, but it continues to trouble you?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, we understand how frustrating and overwhelming persistent pain can be. That’s why we’re here to help. Our caring team of physical therapists will listen to your concerns, create a custom treatment plan just for you, and work by your side every step of the way—so you can get back to living life on your terms.
