After removing the cast
Post-cast rehabilitation at home in Kuwait
After cast removal, it’s normal to experience joint stiffness, muscle weakness, pain upon movement, and sometimes swelling or difficulty walking or using the hand, depending on the location of the injury. The period of immobility in a cast restricts movement, so the body needs a gradual rehabilitation program to safely regain flexibility, strength, and daily function.
At Al-Kindy Care, we offer post-cast rehabilitation sessions at home in Kuwait with a clear physical therapy plan to help you gradually return to movement and avoid complications or a recurrence of pain.

Difficulty in bending or straightening the joint
Pain when walking or using the limb
A weakness that prevents you from performing your daily tasks
Persistent swelling or severe stiffness

Follow the doctor’s instructions regarding: support, load, limits of movement, and post-cast care.
