Active Kids

Active Kids

Kids are happiest and healthiest when they are active and pain free. We love working with kids of all ages (and all activity levels) to ensure any pain such as heel pain (severs), arch, knee or leg pain or a nail or skin problem are all assessed with care and your child is given the most up to date and effective treatment possible. It's a passion of ours to ensure we keep all kids on their feet so they can remain fit, healthy and happy.

We have extensive experience working with and treating active children and know that a growing and active child can be at risk of injury to tissues due to muscle weakness and tightness and increased joint mobility. Our assessment looks at the whole child, including their weekly activity loads, activities (often multiple), growth and milestones, footwear and their individual biomechanics. Often children will only need advice on footwear, strengthening/stretching exercises and guidance on load management, however at times an orthoses can assist in reducing additional load and reducing pain so we can keep them active (and happy!)
