Keeping active kids on their feet and in the game
From weekend athletes to teens competing at high level, growing feet and legs need care that understands both the sport and the growth plates. We help kids stay active, recover well, and play with confidence.
- 40-minute thorough assessments
- Evening & Saturday appointments
- Kids stay in sport wherever possible
The problems that sideline growing athletes
Growing bodies don't just 'run it off'
Children's feet and legs are still developing, which means sports injuries can affect growth, performance and confidence if they're not addressed early.
Our podiatrists pair detailed biomechanical assessment with a friendly, supportive approach, so your child feels comfortable from the moment they walk in, and we collaborate with physios, GPs and coaches to get the best outcome.
Four steps, at a kid-friendly pace
- 01
Listen
Symptoms, sports, activity levels and goals, from your child, not just about them.
- 02
Assess
Foot and leg function with movement and gait analysis, in a 40-minute unhurried appointment.
- 03
Explain
Options laid out plainly: footwear advice, activity tweaks, strengthening, orthotics only if they'll genuinely help.
- 04
Plan
A tailored path back to comfort, performance and sport, keeping kids active wherever possible.
Not sure it is worth getting looked at?
A lot of parents tell us they felt silly booking, and then it turns out the thing they had been watching for a month was worth sorting. You are not wasting anyone's time. Tell us what is going on and one of our podiatrists will read it and come back to you about whether it needs seeing, and what you can do in the meantime.
Thanks, that is with us

“Our goal is simple: keep kids active, help them recover well, and reduce the risk of ongoing problems, without benching them unless we truly have to.”
