🖐️ Custom Wrist Orthosis 🖐️
During the visit, a wrist extension splint was custom-made for the patient, which allowed all fingers to remain free from immobilization. The purpose of this orthosis was to support the wrist in extension while the distal radius bone was healing from a surgical repair. The patient could work on limited wrist range of motion under therapist supervision by removing the splint, while keeping the surgical stabilization intact.
Customizable orthoses, such as this wrist splint, provide increased comfort for patients compared to universal pre-fabricated braces. They are uniquely shaped to each patient and can be modified easily as post-surgical swelling changes or the level of immobilization changes.
Patients are often pleased with the customized orthosis, stating that it is much more comfortable, allows their arm to breathe, and can be removed for a break or washing.

💫 Meet the Team 💫
Let us introduce you to our extraordinary Leawood team as we celebrate their 1 Year Anniversary 🎉 🎈 🎊
This multidisciplinary team is comprised of Sean Stockwell DPT, Korbyn Steadman DPT, our PCCs Alexis Her and Hannah Lynch, Priscilla Cody DPT, and Matt Cummings CHTOT.
Our Leawood location is super special because it shares space with our orthopedic partner SANO Orthopedics offering more comprehensive care with direct access to cutting edge surgical techniques, regenerative medicine, joint replacement and more. Bridging this gap between orthopedic procedures and therapy not only improves the overall patient experience but also makes the recovery process quicker and more efficient getting our patients back to the speed of life.
Did you know?
Our Leawood team boasts nearly 40 years of combined experience in the field 🧠
Matt loves his vests ALMOST as much as the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes 🏈
Korbyn drives a jaguar, bought his first belt 1 month ago, eats 10 chewy granola bars a day between patients, has too many tattoos to count and he’s not afraid to sport a pink polo from time to time 👩🏼🎤
Priscilla is a big cat lady, “if I can’t do it I don’t make you do it!”, do not disturb before 8am and allergic to caffeine 😺
Sean is 1 of 7, Certified Spinal Manipulative Therapist (CSMT), and screams can be heard from Sean’s room as early as 6am 😱

Is knee pain holding you back from your running goals? 🏃♀️🏃♂️ Don’t let it stop you! 🛑
There are simple exercises you can add to your routine to help prevent runners knee. 🏋️♀️ Strengthen your glutes, activate your core and quadriceps, and try the standing pigeon stretch for hip opening.
👉 For the pigeon stretch, you can use common household items like a barstool, kitchen table, bathroom sink, or even the back of your couch! Make sure you perform the movement slowly and try changing the angle to feel a deeper stretch of the hips and glutes!
👉 Take it up a notch with the lateral band walk and “monster walks”, keeping resistance on the band and staying low.
👉 Finish off with planks that engage your core and glutes. Don’t let your back sink in and keep your eyes focused between your hands for proper form.
If your knee pain persists after trying these simple exercises, give us a call so we can help you feel #BetterThanBefore!
