Sharing this warning just in case it affects anyone today

Thanks to Footcare Scotland for sharing this

It’s a tough job bringing up kids, worrying for all their needs, striving to do the best for them and keep them safe and happy. Let us take the worry of their growing feet out of that equation.

These photos perfectly show the need for properly fitted shoes and how important it is to give your special little people’s feet the proper amount of space and support they need to grow safely. 👣

Children’s feet will grow and mould into the space they are given, they will curl toes if there is not enough length for them and as adults we would be in pain if we had to walk with curled squished toes all day but the little ones cant feel it yet.

As all feet are different and all brands give different sizings it can be very difficult to find the right fit for each foot. This is why we stock a range of specialised childrens footwear brands which have many years of childrens growth and foot care science behind them.

Buying supermarket and high street chain footwear is a very popular option but not necessarily the best for your childs precious growing feet, especially for school children who are in their shoes for up to 9 hours.

We will always strive to give you as much growth room as possible without compromising on a safe and secure fit.🌈

This applies to all of us and this sort of exhaustion does not help any aspects of your health. So please, be kind especially to yourself!

Be kind, be patient, you've done amazingly well, we'll get there, you've got this! 💪☺️

Psychologist Naomi Holdt beautifully explained what's behind the overarching exhaustion people are feeling and it makes perfect sense.

100% agree with this.
It's not just about making muscles stronger, it has to be functional.
This applies to everyone, not just dancers!!
Also it's way more fun to train this way 😁💪

A day to celebrate all the incredible and inspiring women in our lives. We appreciate all they do for us.
Let's continue to support each other as we achieve the impossible!

These benefits are not just isolated to ballet. We are never too old to learn something new or to challenge ourselves 💪

Research demonstrates that ballet can bring holistic benefits for exercisers.

So proud to be working with such a brilliant class of teacher. Although rehabilitation is an important part of physiotherapy, pre-hab and prevention is our real goal. Looking after young athletes and artists to allow them longevity in their careers is the ultimate goal and something I take pride in. With teachers like Ms Sarah on my team we are absolutely smashing it

Huge congratulations to you Ms Sarah!!

💜Ms Sarah has been nominated for an award! 💙

At Starting Pointe, we aim to foster an environment based on wellbeing, opportunity, respect, and knowledge and we hope that every dancer who enters the studio knows they are in the safest hands.
Ms Sarah is honoured to be one of 17 nominees for the The International Association for Dance Medicine and Science 2022 Dance Educator Award.
