Casting Services
Casting is the application, adjustment and removal of casts and splints to support and protect a healing fracture or soft-tissue injury. At our St Leonards clinic we apply and manage casts in close coordination with the orthopaedic team at SORSC, so your injury is immobilised correctly for the best possible recovery.
Sydney Orthopaedic Physiotherapy has a wealth of experience managing fractures and applying casts. We work closely with your GP or specialist to select the most appropriate cast for your fracture and use the best materials to ensure lightweight comfort and secure healing.
Services we offer
- Waterproof casting (depending on the area that has been broken).
- Cast removal.
- Rehabilitation after broken bones.
- Provision and fitting of orthopaedic orthoses such as CAM boots (‘moon-boots’) and braces.
Not only can we apply your cast, but we are very well-placed to follow-up your rehabilitation after the broken bone has healed. Injuries that have been in a cast and immobilised for a period of weeks require rehabilitation once the cast is removed to ensure that the affected joints regain full movement, strength and pain-free function.
