“
It’s all about feet! D
on’t worry - they’ll grow out of it” is a common response to parents concerns about the development of their children’s feet or legs. In some cases this can be true, however as children grow up their feet and legs undergo various stages of development.
We regularly concern ourselves with the child’s eyesight, teeth and vaccinations, but how much time do we really take to understand our child’s developing feet? Ask yourself the following questions:
• Do I know what foot type my child has?
• Is my child walking and developing correctly?
• Is my child walking and standing pain free?
Children with particular foot ailments like over pronation or flat feet are the foot, knee and back pain sufferers of the future. Paying close attention to your child’s feet can help prevent pain and discomfort in adult life.
If you’re not sure or have a concern or would just like to have peace of mind, have your child’s feet checked by a professional.
