Children's Foot Assessment
Foot care for children
Kids spend so much time on their feet - active play, exercise at school, and getting involved in sports and activities. Having strong, healthy feet is important, but with so much growing going on, changes can happen quickly. If you notice your children complaining about sore feet, or if you have concerns about their gait or how they are walking, the earlier you seek advice, the better.
This could be symptoms such as toe walking, in-toeing (pigeon toes) or out-toeing, heel pain (or Sever’s Condition), flat feet (and weak ankles), knock knees or bow legs, and even just unusual shaped feet or toes. Heel pain, in particular, is common in children, and is often related to a growth spurt. Often, with the help of orthotics, good footwear and some simple stretches and exercises, we are able to help your children overcome any concerns with their feet, before they become bigger issues.
A foot assessment gives your child a great foundation for a healthy, active childhood - make an appointment to come in and see us.
