In the treatment of Club Foot, the foot should look normal without any creases. Can you notice the before and after differences? The picture on the left there is a lateral crease of the foot and in the picture on the right the crease is improved with more length noted in the foot. Kudos to this mom for advocating for full correction of her daughter‘s foot with me after the incomplete correction with her other provider! You don’t have to settle for incomplete Club Foot treatment!

When using the ball in therapy, it’s important to keep the baby’s body centered on top of the ball. This will allow for better weight shifts and better activation of the postural muscle muscles.

Does your child have flat feet? Even if they are an infant, it’s important to evaluate the posture of the foot. Flat feet can create challenges with balance and delays in walking in motor skills. It can also cause foot injuries in older children and pain. If you’d like an evaluation, make an appointment today!

I feel like it’s so important to do age appropriate activities during therapy. I think sometimes it might be hard to think of ideas for kids that need more assistance. But since his mom loves TikTok, we made Jack’s first TikTok during therapy. It’s something all his caregivers can do together , and he had a very important job of holding his head up while we help him with the dance moves.

Therapy should be fun, it should be motivating and your child to see your therapist as one of their playmates!
