A childs foot develops rapidly in the first 3 years and by the age of 10 normal adult posture and running style is obtained.
Your child's legs and feet are growing rapidly and knowing what to expect at varying ages is important when assessing children. Bigfoot Podiatrists have regular sessions at childrens shoe stores - Future Feet and Stomp Shoes where we assess children from newborns to 13 years. We assess muscle tone, balance, walking patterns, foot and leg positions, and footwear.
We have identified key areas for normal development and will give sound advise on what to expect as your child grows, when to treat, what shoes to wear, and how often they should be reassessed. Our teams focus has always been the promotion of "correct education and advise" for parents and their growing children.
At Bigfoot we keep kids on their feet! If you feel your child needs an assessment call us to make a time with one of our podiatrists who specialises in children.
