Home-Based Fracture Recovery™
Professional in-home recovery support after fracture. A carefully designed 12-week, three-phase program delivered by PhysioHome — providing the right type of support at the right time as your fracture heals.
Healing takes time. Recovery needs guidance. After a fracture, returning home can feel overwhelming — managing pain, following restrictions, and rebuilding strength safely. We bring expert care directly to you.
Why This Program Exists
The Challenge Many Face After Fracture
Whether your fracture was treated surgically or non-surgically, the early weeks at home are critical — and often the most difficult:
Pain and uncertainty about what movements are safe
Weight-bearing or range-of-motion restrictions that need careful monitoring
Fear of reinjury that limits confidence and activity
Rapid loss of strength from reduced movement
Long waits or difficulty accessing clinic-based therapy
Our Solution
Home-Based Fracture Recovery™ brings structured, expert-guided rehabilitation directly to your home during the critical 12-week healing period — so you can recover safely, regain confidence, and return to independence.
This isn't one-size-fits-all therapy. It's a carefully designed, three-phase program that provides the right type of support at the right time as your fracture heals.

How Your Recovery Progresses
Three carefully designed phases that evolve as you heal.
Early Recovery & Protection
Safety, healing, and building confidence
The first 4 weeks are the most critical. Your Physiotherapist will:
- Help you understand your specific restrictions
- Teach you safe ways to move, transfer, and walk
- Manage pain and swelling
- Provide daily exercises you can do at home
- Reassure you about what's normal vs concerning
This phase is about protecting your healing tissue while preventing fear and deconditioning.
Functional Reconditioning
Rebuilding strength and endurance
As your fracture heals, your Kinesiologist helps you:
- Progressively increase strength and activity
- Improve walking tolerance
- Return to household and community tasks
- Build endurance without overdoing it
This phase is about steady, monitored progression.
Confidence & Independence
Final support and transition
Your Rehab Assistant provides:
- Continued practice and reinforcement
- Confidence building for independent activity
- Monitoring for any late-stage concerns
- Support transitioning out of formal care
This phase ensures you're ready to continue safely on your own.
