In our clinic it is clear that prevention is always the best treatment

It implies haste, speed and anticipation. Circumstances that can occur at early ages, in children.

Therefore we strongly emphasize the need to make an assessment not only of the feet but also the overall development of the child from the age of 3-4 years (given that no previous alteration has been detected since birth, which in such a case it will be done before), whether or not the child shows discomfort, as the damage that can be producing in their muscles, tendons or bones will not show up until reaching adulthood.

Children’s features are very different from adults, such it is having a greater elasticity; it is therefore of utmost importance to use appropriate footwear in function to age and physical activity.

Periodic check-ups will help us to assess whether the child’s development is adequate or not, at sensory, motor and biomechanical levels. In case of needing treatment, in our clinic we work in a multidisciplinary way, with physiotherapists, osteopaths and occupational therapists, so that with simple treatments such as insoles, splints or adapted exercises we can solve most of the problems of the children’s feet, associated or not to march.
