A member asked:
I broke my foot in four places after a trip and it has now been 8 weeks since cast came off. when can i start exercising again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Now: You should have started by now with gradual exercise/ physical therapy. If by exercising you mean some type of a more intense routine, like gymnastics, ballet or professional dancing your ortho doc will be able to clear you (or not) based on your progression with physical therapy and as needed follow up films.
