What we offer
Custom-made splint fabrication:
We fabricate splints that are custom made to maximise your recovery and rehabilitation. These include splints to protect minor injuries, post-operative splints, exercise and mobilisation splints and joint protection splints. Splinting can also be used to rest painful joints, promote movement, prevent deformity and enable functional use of the hand. Your therapist will discuss with you and provide a splint suitable for your clinical indications and can be made at the time of your appointment.
Wound Care:
Our hand therapists are skilled in wound and scar management. This includes cleaning, dressing, removal of sutures and advice on wound management. All wound care is provided following best practice and evidence-based protocols to reduce risk of infection and facilitate healing. Wound care is also an integral part of your recovery to reduce the risk of excessive scarring and adhesions.
Exercises:
Exercise is provided specifically for rehabilitation post-injury, and will be customised to you based on a detailed assessment by the hand therapist. Exercise is important as part of successful rehabilitation post-injury or surgery and are an integral part of ensuring return of upper limb function and strength.
Manual therapy techniques:
These are used to improve mobility, function and to assist with the reduction of swelling post-injury or surgery.
Scar management:
Scar tissue is a natural part of the body’s healing process. Scarring can lead to reduced function in the hand or can lead to a sensitive, painful or unsightly scar. Your therapist will assess and guide you with effective care for your scar.
Oedema (swelling) management:
Swelling post-injury or surgery can effect the movement and function in the hand. Effective management can reduce swelling and pain and aid in recovery.
