Splints

Our occupational therapists make specialised splints and can prescribe pre-made splints. Splints are used to treat of a wide range of conditions. They can be used to rest painful or swollen joints, improve joint function or to keep a joint immobilised. Our occupational therapists assess if a splint is needed and can provide the best splint for any problem. They can then continue to monitor and provide advice and instructions on the splint’s use.

Psychological impact

Our occupational therapists also consider the psychological impact that an illness or injury may have had during rehabilitation and work, where appropriate to build self-esteem and quality of life.
