Variations in foot position, walking and posture
Variations in foot position, walking and posture
You may have concerns about your child’s foot position or walking as they are growing up. A lot of these positions e.g. flat feet or inward pointing knees, can be normal in children but it is worth getting them checked out to alleviate any concerns and to pick up if they are something to be worried about! Most of them will resolve naturally but on some occasions they may require professional monitoring or management.
We will happily consult and advise on any walking or posture variations you are worried about including:
- Toe walking
- In-toeing (including metatarsus adductus and internal tibial torsion)
- Bow legs (genu varus)
- Knock knees (genu valgus)
- Flat feet
- Clumsy walking
- Scoliosis screening
