    4. Should I have my child's feet assessed?
                                                     - It is important to ensure that your child is
                                                       growing in a correctly aligned manner. Our
                                                       feet are the foundations of our body to the world
                                                       we live in. Thus, a yearly assessment from the
                                                       age of 3 years can only be of benefit to ensure 
                                                       both feet and sides of the body are functioning
                                                       symetrically from the feet up and hopefully
                                                       prevent growing pains or future problems.

       

    5. What are Orthotics?       
                                                    -  An orthotic is a shoe insert, custom made to
                                                       support, align, prevent or correct a deformity or 
                                                       modify the position or motion and improve the
                                                       function of the moveable parts of the body.

       

    6.  Who should wear orthotics?
                                                    - Anyone who walks on a flat hard concrete          
                                                      surface on a daily basis will greatly benefit from 
                                                      wearing orthotics! Especially if you notice the
                                                      aches and pains previously mentioned or if your
                                                      child complains of growing pains. See our page
