Children’s Feet

It’s a tough time growing up! From birth through to adulthood, children can experience a myriad of age related and developmental problems to their feet and legs.

Some of these problems will be brought about by genetics, growth rate, sporting activities, or footwear. Its important to identify and manage these problems before they manifest into something more serious.
