Children’s feet grow and change rapidly — and because they’re still developing, even small issues can affect how they walk, run, and play. Early podiatry care helps guide healthy growth, prevent future problems, and ensure your child moves with confidence.
Our paediatric podiatrists specialise in assessing children’s foot posture, gait patterns, balance, and development. We look at everything from flat feet to toe walking, growing pains, sport-related issues, and problems caused by tight muscles or misalignment.
Whether your child is taking their first steps or running onto the sports field, we help ensure their feet and legs are developing properly — supporting comfort, coordination, and long-term wellbeing.
We begin by examining foot posture, walking and running patterns, balance, muscle strength, and joint flexibility — all through a child-friendly, relaxed assessment style.
We assess your child’s age-based milestones, leg alignment, arch development, and any abnormal or concerning patterns that may affect future movement.
Based on the assessment, we create a personalised plan which may include strengthening exercises, stretching routines, gait retraining, footwear recommendations, or orthotics if needed.
Children grow quickly, so we monitor progress over time and adjust treatment to ensure long-term improvements in comfort and movement.
Assessment and treatment for children with low or collapsing arches, helping improve stability, alignment, and posture.
One of the most common childhood foot issues, caused by inflammation of the heel growth plate. We offer gentle, effective treatment for fast relief.
We assess unusual walking patterns and determine whether they’re developmental, muscular, or require structured intervention.
Support for children experiencing recurring leg, knee, or foot pain — often linked to rapid growth, tight muscles, or alignment issues.
Early assessment and treatment can make a lifetime of difference for your child’s comfort, posture, and performance.
Any time you notice pain, unusual walking patterns, frequent tripping, or concerns about posture — or simply for peace of mind as they grow.
