Make a Belly Gutter splint with physiotherapist Matthew Lu from our Ivanhoe clinic! 👀

This splint is used to treat chronic stiffness, especially in the middle finger joint. It is mainly worn overnight so the finger can stretch and mobility is improved over time. 😊

If you think you may benefit from this splint or have any enquiries, please call the clinic on 📞03 9458 5166

We look forward to helping you!
