Hello...
U should start with mild stretching exercises followed by strengthening exercises.. wearing a splint is very much necessary though painful initially.. to reduce pain stretching of the muscles is very important.
Next Steps
take hot fermentation on the painful area 10-15 mins for atleast 3-4 times a day after doing the exercise... Start with stretching exercises to reduce the discomfort while using the splint

Looking at her deformity, splint will be very painful and difficult to apply initially but it is equally important to avoid further deformity.
Next Steps
she should do regular exercises in form of stretching and strengthening both.
would highly recommend her to consult a physiotherapist to learn exercises.
