DEVELOP PODIATRY

A podiatrist is a registered health professional that is trained to assess, diagnose and treat foot and lower limb problems. 

Children’s feet and lower limbs are different to those of adults as they are still developing and podiatrists may assist where there are issues or concerns that may impact on that development. Our podiatry service works closely with the physiotherapy services to ensure you have the best outcome.

We can help with: 

• flat feet
• nail and skin conditions (e.g. warts, ingrown toenails)
• shoe fitting and advice
• sporting injuries
• generalised foot pain
• toe walking
• in-toeing gait (sometimes called pigeon-toed)
• or an out-toeing gait
• poor leg and knee alignment 
• tailored orthotics to support children's feet
