Did you know 30% of our patients are children?

We believe that kids should be able to run, play and grow without being held back by pain or discomfort. This is why we work extensively with kids when they develop any pains, unusual walking patterns, or their feet and legs aren’t developing as expected. Our goal is always to help them enjoy a happy and active adult life by getting to the root of the problem, not just the symptoms.

As the feet and legs grow and change so quickly, it can be difficult for parents to know what is normal, and what isn’t. To help, here are the top 5 lower limb problems that our younger patients experience:

When was the last time you thought about the way you walked? 

Chances are that you’ve been doing it on autopilot for so long that your habits, patterns and techniques are deeply ingrained. Unfortunately, this doesn’t factor in the changes that our bodies, specifically our feet, undergo over the years. From thinning fat pads (that cushion our steps) to fragile or stiff bones, our walking technique (“gait pattern”) can either help keep us going comfortably for many years to come – or leave us in pain and needing help.

Today, we’re sharing four small changes you can make to your gait today to help you move more efficiently, use less energy (so you get less tired) and help reduce your risk of injury. Please tell your future self – you’re very welcome.
