Nurturing Young Feet: Focus on Healthy Development and Care.

What Are Children’s Orthotics?

Orthotic insoles for kids are worn inside shoes to support the feet, ankles, and lower limbs. They’re commonly used to:

• ✅ Improve flat or cavus feet in children

• ✅ Improve gait abnormalities

• ✅ Relieve pain from Sever’s disease, growing pains, or hypermobility

• ✅ Support children with neurological or musculoskeletal conditions

• ✅ Prevent long-term joint strain and poor posture

  
  

We offer a range of paediatric orthotic solutions, from soft insoles to structured ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs).

Signs Your Child May Need Orthotics

Wondering if your child could benefit from orthotics? You might consider an assessment if they:

• Complain of foot pain or leg fatigue

• Trip or fall frequently

• Have visibly flat feet or high arches

• Wear out shoes unevenly

• Have a diagnosed condition affecting mobility

  
  

Early intervention with custom orthotics for children can support healthy development and prevent future complications.

Understanding Reluctance to Walk in Children

If your child is reluctant to walk, it may be due to various factors, including:
