Your Dr. should tell you when to start PT after a foot fracture
I recommend you discuss with your treating physician when it will be appropriate to begin therapy
It takes a minimum of 6 weeks to heal a fracture. You should NOT start PT until there is full evidence of radiographic healing of your fracture
Depends on the fracture and how extensive is the treatment. please address this with your doctor.
