    Conditions this service often supports

    This information is general and does not replace an individual assessment.

    Flat feet

    Flat feet are common and do not always cause problems. Assessment focuses on symptoms, movement and function rather than appearance alone.

    Children’s walking concerns

    We assess concerns such as in-toeing, out-toeing, flat feet, heel pain, recurrent trips or uneven shoe wear and explain whether monitoring or treatment is appropriate.
