There’s been lots of talk lately about Turtle Braces, and for good reason.
These clever, mouldable splints can be used for all sorts of orthotic support - from improving range of movement to offering longer, sustained stretches for children with tight muscles or conditions like cerebral palsy.
What makes them exciting is:
🐢 They're removable and remoldable (up to 100 times!)
🐢 They’re quick to deliver
🐢 They can be adjusted at home by trained professionals like me
🐢 They bridge the gap when children are waiting for more permanent orthotic solutions
This kind of flexibility is a game-changer. Traditionally, serial casting or custom splints involve long waits and multiple clinic visits. With Turtle Braces, we can act quickly to prevent loss of range and keep progress moving.
And as always, it's not about replacing traditional methods - it's about having more tools in the toolkit, so we can offer families the best support at the right time.
If you’re another physio curious about these, or a parent wanting to know if it might help your child - get in touch or keep your eyes peeled. This is one to watch.
