Worried about your child’s walking, foot pain, or posture?
Children don’t always “grow out of” foot and leg concerns. Early assessment can prevent long-term complications and support healthy development.
At Gentle Podiatry, we use GaitScan™, an advanced industry-leading assessment system designed specifically for children. Every child’s feet are unique — our detailed assessments provide personalised insights to support healthy growth, improve comfort, and encourage confident movement.

Concerned About Your Child’s Feet?
You may benefit from an assessment if your child experiences:
✔ Persistent foot or leg pain
✔ Difficulty walking, running, or keeping up with peers
✔ Frequent tripping or unusual walking patterns
✔ Ongoing issues despite previous treatment
✔ Concerns about posture or flat feet
The earlier concerns are identified, the easier they are to manage effectively.
