OVERVIEW

What this treatment is, and how it works

Custom splints and orthoses protect injured tissue, hold reduced positions and offload painful structures during healing.

We fabricate selected splints in clinic and guide you through orthotic options for foot, ankle and knee where off-the-shelf or custom devices are appropriate.

HELPS WITH

Conditions it commonly addresses

  • Wrist, thumb and finger immobilisation after injury
  • Mallet finger, trigger finger and selected hand conditions
  • Tennis elbow and golfer's elbow support
  • Ankle bracing during return to sport
  • Knee bracing for ligament protection
  • Foot orthotics for plantar fasciitis and flat-foot pain
HOW IT WORKS

What we do, step by step

  1. Indication ReviewWe confirm a splint is the right tool — not all pain needs one.
  2. FittingPosition, length and contour are taken individually.
  3. Wear ScheduleClear instructions on full-time, day-only or night-only wear.
  4. Skin & Comfort CheckPressure points and skin tolerance are reviewed at each visit.
  5. WeaningWe plan how and when to come out of the splint, paired with strengthening.
WHAT TO EXPECT

In a session

Fitting takes 30–45 minutes. A splint that hurts or causes redness is not a correctly fitting splint — return for adjustment.

DURATION

Recommended sessions

1 fitting visit, plus 1–2 reviews during the wear period.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

Who should avoid this

Active skin infection or open wounds at the splint site without a dressing plan.
