Why Children’s Footcare is Important
Children’s feet undergo significant growth and development during their formative years, and proper footcare is essential for ensuring healthy development and preventing future issues. Seeing a paediatric foot specialist early can help detect and treat issues before they impact your child’s long-term mobility.
Untreated foot problems in childhood can lead to pain, discomfort and mobility limitations that may persist into adulthood. By prioritising children’s footcare early on, we can help set the foundation for a lifetime of healthy feet and active living.

FAQs
Are flat feet normal in children, and when should I be concerned?
Flat feet are common in toddlers and young children as their arches are still forming. In most cases, this resolves naturally. However, if your child experiences pain, poor balance or difficulty walking, it’s best to consult a paediatric foot doctor. We can assess whether intervention such as orthotics or strengthening exercises is needed.
How do I know if my child needs orthotics or just better footwear?
Our podiatrists will evaluate your child’s biomechanics, footwear and activity level during an assessment. If foot pain or poor alignment is present, we may recommend custom orthotics for support and correction. However, in many cases, the right shoes and a few simple changes can make a big difference.
What are signs my child may have a foot or walking problem?
Watch for signs like:
- Frequent tripping or falling
- Complaints of foot, leg or knee pain
- Uneven shoe wear
- Toe-walking or limping
- Avoiding physical activity
If you notice any of these, book a visit with a paediatric foot doctor at Jakupi Podiatry for a professional evaluation.
How can Jakupi Podiatry help monitor and support my child’s foot development through developmental assessments?
At Jakupi Podiatry, our paediatric specialists conduct thorough developmental assessments to monitor how your child’s feet are growing and functioning over time. These assessments help us identify issues such as delayed arch development, toe-walking or in-toeing at an early stage — often before symptoms become noticeable.
By evaluating your child’s foot structure, alignment and range of motion, our paediatric foot doctors can provide proactive care and advice tailored to your child’s age and developmental needs. Regular monitoring ensures that any concerns are addressed early, supporting healthy growth and long-term mobility.
What does a paediatric gait analysis at Jakupi Podiatry involve, and how does it benefit my child’s foot health?
A paediatric gait analysis at Jakupi Podiatry involves a detailed assessment of your child’s walking pattern, posture and lower limb biomechanics. Our doctors observe how your child moves, identifying any abnormal foot positioning, uneven wear on shoes or signs of muscle imbalance.
This analysis helps us detect underlying issues that may contribute to discomfort, poor posture or delayed motor development. Our paediatric foot specialists then use these insights to recommend treatments such as orthotics, stretching programs or footwear modifications — ensuring your child’s feet are supported as they grow and stay active.

Why should I consider custom orthotics for my child, and how does Jakupi Podiatry tailor these devices to address specific foot conditions like flat feet or high arches?
Custom orthotics can provide essential support for children with flat feet, high arches or foot alignment issues. At Jakupi Podiatry, our paediatric foot doctors use advanced assessments and craft orthotics that help correct foot posture, improve balance and reduce discomfort caused by uneven pressure or muscle strain. The result is better foot function, enhanced mobility and prevention of future complications.
