Intoeing in Kids: Support for Healthy Foot Development and Movement

Intoeing is a common condition where a child’s feet turn inward when they walk or run, sometimes referred to as “pigeon-toed.” Intoeing can develop from several factors, including rotation in the hips, knees, or feet, often noticed in early childhood. In most cases, intoeing resolves as a child grows, but persistent or severe cases may lead to tripping, balance issues, or discomfort. With the right guidance, you can support your child’s foot alignment and gait development, helping them move confidently and comfortably.

Are You Concerned About Your Child’s Inward-Facing Feet?

Watching your child walk or run with their feet turning inward can raise concerns about their balance, coordination, and long-term foot health. You may feel uncertain about whether this is something they’ll outgrow or if intervention is necessary. With a professional evaluation and personalised guidance, you can understand the underlying cause of your child’s intoeing and support their healthy development.

Intoeing Can Affect Mobility – But Guidance and Support are Available

Addressing intoeing provides valuable physical and emotional benefits:

  • Physical Alignment: Improved foot positioning, balance, and coordination to support smooth, comfortable movement.
  • Peace of Mind: Confidence in knowing that your child’s foot development is supported by professional insight and care.
  • Fairness: Every child deserves access to expert care that promotes a balanced gait, minimises tripping, and supports their growth and mobility.
