How can exercise benefit my child’s health?

Getting your kids moving can have many benefits including:

  • improving strength
  • coordination
  • flexibility
  • posture
  • building confidence

If you have any questions or concerns about your child’s balance, walking or anything lower limb related, our podiatrists are highly skilled at assessing children’s feet and lower limb biomechanics.

Is there a difference between laces and slip-on shoes? 

When Choosing The Best Children’s Shoes, it’s very important to choose a pair that has an adjustable fastening mechanism. Choosing shoes with laces, velcro or a buckle rather than a slip-on can help in many ways.

  • It’s important that the shoe is secured to the foot so the toes do not claw to grip the shoe
  • As your child’s feet grow it’s also important that you are able to adjust the shoes.

Kids playing at home
