Podiatry for Kids

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.

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.

What Our Patients Say

“Steve was thorough, professional and genuinely cared about getting to the bottom of my heel pain. After years of putting up with it, I finally have a plan that works. Highly recommend.”

Michael T.

“Took my 8 year old daughter for flat feet concerns. Steve was fantastic with her — patient, gentle, and explained everything in terms we could both understand. So glad we found MSP.”

Sarah L.

“As a runner, I have been to many podiatrists. Steve is by far the best. He understands the biomechanics of running and designed orthotics that actually made a difference to my shin splints.”

Frequently Asked Questions

There is no minimum age. If you have concerns about how your child walks, stands or complains of pain in their feet, legs or knees, it is worth having them assessed. We commonly see children from toddler age through to teenagers.
Every child develops differently, which can make it hard to judge. Signs to watch for include persistent limping, reluctance to participate in physical activity, frequent tripping, complaints of pain and visible differences between the two feet or legs. A professional assessment can give you clarity.
Not every child needs orthotics. We assess each child individually and only recommend them when they are likely to benefit. Other treatments like exercises, footwear changes and gait training may be sufficient depending on the condition.
Many children have flat feet as part of normal development, particularly before age 6. However, if flat feet persist beyond this age, cause pain or affect how your child moves, a professional assessment is recommended to determine if treatment is needed.
No referral is needed. You can book directly with Melbourne Sports Podiatry at our Brighton, Richmond or South Melbourne clinics.
