Our physiotherapists can identify when splinting will help and what type will be most effective for you. We can also provide splints that are custom-designed to meet your needs. These custom models can be moulded to your body so they provide a perfect fit. This is important because if you buy yourself an over-the-counter version and it doesn’t fit properly, it can end up causing more issues.
And even if it fits properly, wearing a splint without guidance or a therapy program can lead to weakness and stiffness. But getting help from a professional like a physiotherapist will provide you with medical advice and education, an exercise plan, monitoring of your progress, and adjustments to your splint.
