Welcome to Burns Therapy
The role of Therapy in Burns
Therapy is a very important part of the burns journey as it
focuses on enabling the child to return to their pre-injury level
of function. The role of the burns therapist is to:
- Maintain correct joint/ postural
positioning and protect the wound as it heals
- Promote early mobility and play
- Prevent deformity from contracture
- Increase exercise tolerance
- Educate regarding skin care and
desensitisation
- Liaise and educate community therapists in
preparation for discharge
- Assess for equipment needs
- Scar management
