Need a Custom Splint? We’ve got you covered! 💪🏼

After surgery, injury, or with certain upper limb conditions, you may be fitted with a temporary splint or cast at a hospital or clinic. But for optimal support and alignment, a custom-made splint or orthosis is often the best solution. 🦴

At Canberra Hand Therapy, our experienced therapists can fabricate splints on the spot during your appointment — tailored and unique to you. 🧬

Custom splints can assist with:

👉🏼Fractures & dislocations
👉🏼Carpal tunnel syndrome
👉🏼Trigger finger & mallet finger
👉🏼De Quervain’s tenosynovitis
👉🏼Tendon, ligament, or nerve injuries
👉🏼Post-op support, and more

Splints provide support, rest, and protection while aiding recovery and function. Your therapist may also recommend exercises to keep unaffected areas moving. 👋🏻

Most splints are made from thermoplastic, which is heated and molded precisely to your body. Alternatives include neoprene and leather or a combination! 🔥

Not sure if a splint could help? Get in touch to chat with our team or book an appointment. ☎️

But most importantly, thank YOU—our wonderful patients, and the incredible specialists, surgeons, allied health professionals, and GPs who continue to place your trust in us. We wouldn’t be here without you. 🙏🏼

Here’s to nine amazing years—and with double digits just around the corner, we might have to plan something extra special for next year! 🥳

This week Canberra Hand Therapy have farewelled someone from our amazing admin team, Rebekah!

Bek has been with CHT since the early days, starting off as a receptionist and working her way up to Practice Manager, all while juggling a young family. She has been instrumental in setting up our administrative processes, training and overseeing staff, and of course greeting all of our patients at the front desk with her warm, welcoming smile.

Bek is off on a new career adventure and we wish her all the luck and enjoyment for her next chapter. We will miss you, Bek! 👋🏻😊

Over the weekend the Canberra Hand Therapy team gathered with their loved ones for a well-deserved mid-year celebration to recognise all the hard work our therapists and staff have put in over the first half of the year, as well as to acknowledge and biid a sad farewell to our incredible OT Laura, who has decided to move on to other things post-maternity leave.

We devoured some incredible food from The Merchant's Feast and made by our very own Liz in a beautiful picnic-style event where the CHT kids enjoyed playing on the playground and the whole team had some laughs with a few lawn games and even a friendly climbing competition!

Laura - we will miss your smiling face and gentle nature around here. However, we wish you all the happiness and luck in your next chapter!

It’s been a big start to 2025 and we have much more planned for the rest of the year, so stay tuned!
