Children's Podiatry in Cheshire & Greater Manchester

Our podiatrists provide a welcoming, gentle and child-friendly environment across our clinics in Cheshire and Greater Manchester. We assess children’s feet, legs and walking patterns at different stages of development, helping parents understand what is part of normal growth and when further assessment or treatment may be beneficial.

Children's Assessment & Development

  • Children’s Gait & Developmental Assessments: Comprehensive assessment of your child’s walking and running pattern, foot posture, joint flexibility, muscle function, lower-limb alignment and overall development. We assess concerns such as intoeing (pigeon toes), out-toeing, flat feet, unusual walking patterns and delayed walking or motor development.

  • Growing Pains & Activity-Related Pain: Assessment of common causes of pain in growing children and young people, including Sever’s disease (heel pain), Osgood-Schlatter disease (knee pain), growing pains, heel pain and activity-related foot or lower-limb discomfort.

  • Reassuring Parental Guidance: Clear, straightforward explanations about your child’s development, including what may be a normal variation during growth and when symptoms or changes in gait may require further assessment or treatment.

Supporting Healthy Foot Development

Children’s feet and lower limbs change significantly as they grow. Some differences in foot shape, walking pattern and alignment are a normal part of development, while persistent pain, significant gait changes or delayed development may benefit from professional assessment.

Our children’s podiatry assessments are designed to give parents clear answers, reassurance and practical advice while supporting healthy foot and lower-limb development.

Whether you’re concerned about intoeing, flat feet, delayed walking, unusual gait, growing pains, Sever’s disease, Osgood-Schlatter disease or sports-related pain, our podiatrists can assess your child and explain the most appropriate next steps.

Treatment, Footwear & Ongoing Support

  • Sports & Activity Assessments: Assessment of children and young athletes experiencing foot, ankle, heel, knee or lower-limb pain, particularly where symptoms are associated with running, football, dance, gymnastics or other sporting activities.
  • Footwear & Development Advice: Guidance on appropriate footwear, shoe fitting and activity levels to support comfortable and healthy foot development.
  • Individualised Treatment & Support: Where appropriate, treatment may include developmental exercises, strengthening and stretching programmes, activity modification, footwear advice and paediatric orthotic solutions tailored to your child’s individual needs.
  • Monitoring & Referral: Where a child’s presentation requires further investigation or specialist input, we can provide appropriate advice and referral to ensure they receive the right care.
