Hip Fracture Rehabilitation

Hip Fracture Rehabilitation at Source of Life Nursing Home

A hip fracture is one of the most serious injuries in elderly people. Without proper rehabilitation, it often leads to complete immobility and loss of independence. Source of Life nursing home in Tbilisi offers a comprehensive recovery program after hip fracture, aimed at restoring mobility, managing pain, and ensuring a safe return to an active life.

Why Early Rehabilitation is Crucial

After a hip fracture, every day without movement increases the risk of complications: muscle atrophy, contractures, thrombosis, and bedsores. At Source of Life, we begin rehabilitation immediately after hospital discharge to preserve muscle tone and prevent loss of mobility skills.

Rehabilitation Stages at the Nursing Home

The program is tailored individually and includes several consecutive stages:

• Early stage — gentle bed exercises, breathing exercises, preparation for verticalization, pain and swelling control.
• Motor activity recovery — learning to walk with support, balance training, muscle strengthening, physical therapy sessions.
• Daily skills training — getting out of bed, climbing stairs, moving around the nursing home, adapting to everyday activities.
• Consolidation — increasing load, stability control, fall prevention, psychological support.

What We Do for Recovery

• Physiotherapy — massage, electrostimulation, heat therapy to improve circulation.
• Pain management — medication support, proper positioning, orthopedic devices.
