SPLINTING
Hand and Upper Limb Splinting
We offer bespoke thermoplastic or ready-made splinting. This type of splinting is usually provided to those who need to prevent contracture or to support and assist with specific movements carried out by the hand or upper limb.
Kinesiology Taping
Kinesiology taping is a rehabilitative taping technique which aims to support and improve stability to muscles and joints without restricting the movement.
We offer this splinting option as an adjunct to support therapy, such as during an intense block of CIMT or bimanual therapy.
