Benefits of thermoplastic splinting

Thermoplastic splinting does not replace the need for physiotherapy treatment. Physiotherapy sessions will focus on manual stretches and muscle mobilisation, soft tissue massage, weight bearing, strengthening exercises and practice of functional tasks. Thermoplastic splinting is a non-invasive, pain-free procedure that is carried out during a single treatment session. The benefits of thermoplastic splinting are:

Maintain or increase joint range of movement
Maintain or increase muscle length
Prevent or reduce pain and discomfort
Prevent or reduce physical deformity
Increase independence with functional activities
Increased tolerance to manual stretches
Facilitate problem free personal hygiene via opening hand or straightening knees
Mouldable materials made to fit the individual
Easy to clean, strong material

Your physiotherapist will provide a splinting regime and a home exercise program which includes details of how and when the splint should be worn and appropriate stretches to do at home. Thermoplastic splinting significantly benefits individuals with increased muscle tone and tightness.
