Children are not little adults, and their feet may need special attention as they develop. Growing pains, tired legs and funny running styles are often signs of poor foot and leg development.

For children to grow into healthy adults with normal functioning feet and legs, it’s necessary developmental milestones are reached in order, and on time to correct these problems at the right age and stage of life.

For example: banana feet in toddlers should straighten by two years of age; pigeon toe and tippy toe walking should correct by three; flatfeet by eight and torsional changes of femur and tibia completed by age 10.
