Children's Podiatry in Melbourne
Specialist assessment and treatment for growing feet - helping your child stay active, balanced and pain-free.
During their developmental years, children go through similar injuries, pains and problems. However, not all children grow and develop at the same rate or in the same way. This makes it tricky as a parent to know when pain is a problem or simply a developmental change.
Our children's podiatry specialists help parents understand what is normal, what needs attention and what steps to take. No referral is needed.
We Accept All Major Health Funds
HICAPS on-the-spot rebates at all clinics. No referral needed.

Four Key Areas We Help Parents With
Our children's podiatry service focuses on four specific areas of concern that parents most commonly bring to us. Each area is assessed individually with your child's age, activity level and development in mind.
Assessing Future Risk
Looking at whether your child is at risk of a foot, knee or hip issue in the future due to flat or unstable feet.
Growing Pains
Assessing pain developed as a result of growth plates not fusing with the bone, commonly seen in the heel and below the knee cap between ages 7-14.
Strength & Walking Training
Providing strength, balance and walking training when a child needs to change their biomechanics due to poor movement patterns.
Footwear Guidance
Helping parents save money by providing a clear footwear blueprint so they can spend appropriately on the right shoes for their kids.
Common Conditions We Treat in Children
Children can experience a wide range of foot and leg issues. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent more serious problems later and keep your child active and confident.
Every child receives a tailored assessment that considers their age, development and activity level. We look at the whole picture, not just the feet, to understand how their body is moving and developing.
- Gait analysis - how your child walks and runs
- Foot structure and joint mobility assessment
- Muscle strength and flexibility testing
- Posture and alignment evaluation
