A hip fracture is the leading cause of injury-related mortality among adults, with broken hips occurring more frequently than breast cancer. The financial burden on the family and social care systems amounts to millions annually, affecting one in three women over the age of 50.
Unfortunately, patients often experience delays in receiving the physiotherapy necessary for recovery. If you or someone you know has suffered a hip fracture, we would like to hear about your experience regarding the time it took to receive rehabilitation and physiotherapy, as well as the impact it had on your recovery.

There is a concerning trend where some patients treated for a broken hip are waiting nearly three months to see a physiotherapist for many reasons. The Pro Physiotherapy has highlighted unacceptable disparities in care, which can lead to poor health outcomes, decreased mobility, and increased risk of depression. Dr. J Mazumder, the clinical physiotherapy lead at the Pro Physiotherapy, will provide insights into the significant impact a broken hip can have on individuals, as many may not understand why it is the primary cause of injury-related deaths in adults.
Meet him in Pro Physiotherapy, JP Nagar, 8th Phase, Bangalore.
