Physiotherapy assessment and management of flat feet

Many children have flat feet. It is completely normal for babies and toddlers to have flat feet and the longitudinal arch of the foot may not develop until 3-4-5 years old. If your child has a flexible flat foot that is not hurting them, then no treatment is indicated. If you are concerned about the posture of your child’s feet, an experienced Physiotherapist can assess and let you know if there is anything to be concerned about. At Kids-Physio we believe that if parents are worrying, it’s worth getting checked out.
