Phys Therapy for femur break

Femur break 1 month ago. metal rods installed and doc says I can start placing weight on the leg. up to 1/2 body weight. can someone suggest exercise routines to regain strength and flexibility in the leg? I’m reluctant to place weight on the leg as the injury was really painful and only recently is the pain starting to subside. Thanks lots,Dan

    Dan, tell your dr. that you want physical therapy. It’s normally ordered by the majority of drs. When your dr orders it, it is then covered by your insurance. The therapis will work with you to increase movement and strength.
