Podiatry Assessments for Children
It is often difficult as a parent to know what is normal for your child's feet. Below is list of some of the reasons why you may want to get your child's feet assessed by a Podiatrist.
In toeing
Toe walking
Symmetry - If your childs feet/legs/body is uneven when they walk
Flat feet
Ingrown nails
Foot shape - Should be straight, not curved like a banana
Pain - This could be at the feet, legs or sometimes even back
Clumsy/not keeping up with peers in the playground
Biomechanical assessments look at the child as a whole as well as isolating different muscles and joints to look for any imbalances.
If in doubt, it is better to be safe and have your child assessed.
Sydney Mobile Podiatry provide assessments for children. Many parents comment on how it is a great option because their child is very comfortable (as oppose to in a clinical setting which can be quite intimidating).
