Are your children’s feet ‘Back To School’ ready?

-

Now is a great time to get their feet checked and footwear assessed with a correct measure and fitting before they head back to school!

Children’s feet and legs develop rapidly, and how they develop impacts on a child’s ability to get the most out of their active life.

If they wear foot orthotics, we advise having them reviewed at the beginning of each school year and when new shoes are purchased.

Children can experience everything from sore heels, growing pains, knee soreness, flat feet and warts and ingrown nails, so it’s important any problems are identified early.

Poorly fitted school shoes can also result in pain, discomfort and long-term complicati­ons.

The My FootDr podiatrist­s located at 1/65 Victoria St, Warragul VIC 3820, can identify and help treat these conditions before they become bigger issues in the future.

Visit their website https://www.myfootdr.com.au/ for more informatio­n or visit them in-store at 1/65 Victoria St, Warragul to get everything ready for the upcoming school year. To book an appointmen­t call (03) 5623 4677 No referral needed! They also have HICAPS onsite, so you can claim directly from your Private Health fund.
