What Is It?

What Is a Custom Splint?

A custom splint — also called an orthosis — is a brace or support device designed and fabricated specifically for your hand, wrist, or arm. Unlike off-the-shelf braces available at drugstores, custom splints are molded directly to your body using thermoplastic materials.

This precise fit means better support, improved comfort, and more effective therapeutic outcomes. Custom splints are used to protect healing tissue, reduce pain, improve function, correct joint alignment, and support recovery after surgery or injury.

At Reach Beyond Therapy, all splints are designed and fabricated on-site by a Certified Hand Therapist with over 10 years of experience and thousands of custom splints to her name.
