Back to school Podiatry – what you need to know.
Did you know that kids walk around 2000km in school shoes each year!
The fact is, most of the walking is on hard surfaces, another reason why is it’s so important that kids are wearing the correct school shoes.
To help ensure that your kids are wearing the best and appropriate shoes we are offering back to school checks for $65.
This includes:
– A foot posture assessment
– Gait assessment walking and running
– Assessment of last year’s footwear
– Recommendations for best school shoes including sports shoes tailored to your child’s biomechanics.
During the first 15 years of your child’s life, their feet are continually growing, external forces such as footwear pressure have the potential to contribute to joint, soft tissue, skin, and nail conditions.
It is essential that when buying shoes for your children, you look at shoes that will accommodate your child’s growth as well as protect them from the hard non-forgiving surfaces they spend all day on.
