Can I engage in strenuous exercise after a fracture?

During the fracture recovery process, strenuous exercise is not recommended, especially during the initial and healing stages of the fracture.

During fracture healing, the bone needs to remain stable in order for new bone tissue to grow and restore the original strength and structure. Strenuous activity may lead to adverse consequences. Post-fracture exercise should follow the principle of progressing from rest to movement and from low intensity to high intensity, with a scientifically sound and reasonable rehabilitation plan. Rushing the process must be avoided in order to prevent negative effects on the final healing outcome.

Therefore, patients should actively cooperate with their physician's treatment and rehabilitation guidance to promote fracture healing and restore normal function. At the same time, they should also take care to avoid re-injury in order to prevent secondary damage to the fractured area.
