Children’s Feet
Your child’s feet, like yours, are a masterpiece of engineering and a work of art.
Children’s feet
They will go through many changes in the early years of their life.
We understand this can be a daunting time and there is a lot of conflicting advice regarding their little feet. At Functional Soles Podiatry, our goal is to help reduce the confusion and allow you to enjoy this special time. You will notice that your child’s feet are quite soft and flexible in the early years. This allows them to move and interact freely within their world which helps in their overall development. Once your child does begin moving, it is not uncommon for them to walk on their toes or adopt different ways to get around. These different movements are all part of their unique development journey.
Although your child’s feet are resilient, they may at times develop discomfort or you may be concerned about the shape of your child’s feet or legs. Listed below are some of the common things that can occur
