Splinting Room Explained
What is a
Splinting Room?
The splinting room is a specialised area where devices used to support, align, prevent, or correct deformities and to improve the function of movable parts of the body are custom-made and fitted.
Our experienced therapists use a variety of materials to create splints that aid in the recovery of musculoskeletal injuries. This tailored support is crucial for patients recovering from fractures, surgeries, or those requiring functional and positional support for weakened body parts.
