Recovery and Renewal with Custom Splinting

Discover the power of custom splinting, where personalized support meets therapeutic innovation. At Active Recovery Physiotherapy & Hand Clinic in Victoria, BC, we create tailor-made splints that offer comfort and stability. Our custom splints are designed to aid your recovery and provide a path toward renewed strength and flexibility. Join us as we explore how custom splinting can be a transformative step in your hand therapy journey.

What Is Custom Splinting?

Custom splinting involves creating splints specifically designed to meet your unique needs. Unlike off-the-shelf options, these splints are crafted to fit your body precisely, providing the ideal balance of support and flexibility. Whether you’re recovering from surgery, managing a chronic condition, or seeking to correct a deformity, custom splints offer a more effective and comfortable solution.

The Benefits of Custom Splinting

Custom splints can make a significant difference in your recovery process. Here are some of the key benefits:

  • Personalized Fit: Custom splints are tailored to your unique measurements, ensuring a light-weight, comfortable and secure fit. This personalized approach reduces discomfort and promotes better healing.
  • Enhanced Stability: Splints provide the stability needed to support injuries and conditions, preventing further strain while allowing you to regain strength and mobility.
  • Improved Functionality: With the right splint, you can maintain a level of functionality during your recovery. This means you can continue with daily tasks and activities while you heal.
  • Accelerated Recovery: Custom splints can expedite the healing process by keeping injured areas stable, allowing joints to rest and to settle down from pain, inflammation and swelling.

How Custom Splints Are Made

Creating a custom splint is a collaborative process between you and our Certified Hand Therapists (CHTs). Here’s what to expect:

  • Assessment and Design: We start by evaluating your condition and measuring the area that needs support. Our therapists then design a splint that aligns with your unique requirements.
  • Crafting the Splint: Once the design is finalized, we craft the splint using high-quality materials that are both durable and comfortable. The goal is to create a splint that offers stability without restricting movement unnecessarily.
  • Fitting and Adjustment: After the splint is made, we fit it to ensure a perfect match. We make any necessary adjustments for comfort and functionality, ensuring that the splint provides the support you need. As treatment progresses, further adjustment can be done in follow-up appointments to ensure perfect fit at the time.
