Waterproof Casting

Active Physiotherapy provides a casting and splinting service using synthetic casting material rather than 'plaster of paris'. Fibreglass casting alone is not waterproof. Active Physiotherapy uses 'Gortex' underlining to provide a complete waterproof cast that you will be able to swim and bathe in without the hassle of having to put plastic bags around your cast. Some injuries may not be suitable for this type of casting but a normal fibreglass cast can still be a lot more comfortable than a heavy and thick 'plaster of paris' cast. Our physiotherapists can discuss your specific needs when you book your appointment.
