Finger fractures are among the most common hand injuries, often occurring during sports, falls, or accidents. These fractures can vary in severity, from minor hairline fractures to complete breaks, and can significantly impact your ability to perform daily activities. At Brisbane Physiotherapy, we specialise in the rehabilitation of finger fractures, helping you regain mobility and strength through tailored treatment plans. 

A femur fracture is a serious injury that involves a break in the thighbone, which is the longest and strongest bone in the human body. Given its strength, it takes a significant amount of force, such as a car accident or a high-impact fall, to fracture the femur. Recovering from a femur fracture is a lengthy process, but with the right treatment and physiotherapy, you can regain full mobility and strength. At Brisbane Physiotherapy, we support patients through their rehabilitation journey with tailored, effective recovery plans. 

Extension fractures, also known as hyperextension fractures, occur when a joint is forced beyond its normal range of motion, causing a break in the bone. This type of fracture commonly affects the elbow, wrist, or spine and can result from falls, sports injuries, or traumatic accidents. At Brisbane Physiotherapy, we regularly treat patients recovering from extension fractures, and our physiotherapy programs are tailored to promote healing, restore function, and prevent future complications. 

A sprained wrist is a common injury that occurs when the ligaments in the wrist are stretched or torn. This can happen due to a fall onto an outstretched hand, sudden twisting, or impact during sports or other physical activities. A wrist sprain can range from mild, where the ligaments are slightly stretched, to severe, where the ligaments are torn, making it difficult to move the wrist.

A sternal injury involves damage to the sternum, also known as the breastbone, which is the flat bone located at the centre of your chest. Sternal injuries are often the result of trauma, such as a car accident (where the chest strikes the steering wheel), falls, or blunt force impacts during contact sports. These injuries can range from mild bruising to more severe fractures, and while they may not be as common as other bone fractures, they can significantly affect breathing, chest mobility, and daily activities. 

Tibialis posterior tendon reconstruction is a surgical procedure aimed at restoring function to the tibialis posterior tendon, which runs along the inner side of the ankle and supports the arch of the foot. This surgery is typically recommended for individuals suffering from posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD), also known as adult-acquired flatfoot. PTTD occurs when the tendon becomes inflamed, stretched, or torn, resulting in the collapse of the foot’s arch and pain during walking or standing.

Toe fusion surgery, also known as arthrodesis, is a procedure used to address severe joint pain, deformities, or arthritis in the toes, particularly the big toe. The surgery involves fusing two or more bones in the toe to eliminate motion in the affected joint. This reduces pain and discomfort, especially for those suffering from conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, hallux rigidus (stiff big toe), or traumatic injuries that haven't healed properly. 

Trigger point rolling is a popular technique used in physiotherapy to alleviate muscle tension, reduce pain, and improve mobility. It involves applying pressure to specific areas in the muscle, known as "trigger points", which are tight, painful spots that can cause discomfort and limit movement. These trigger points often result from muscle overuse, injury, or poor posture, and can lead to pain radiating to other parts of the body. Trigger point rolling, often done using foam rollers or massage balls, can be a valuable tool in managing and treating these muscle-related issues.
