Is your child complaining of sore heels after sports or during a growth spurt? 🏃
Heel pain in growing children is very common, but they don't have to stay on the sidelines!
Here is how to help keep them active and pain-free:
👟 Supportive Footwear: Ditch flat or worn-out shoes for options with proper heel support and cushioning.
🧊 Cold Therapy: Apply cold packs after activity to soothe discomfort.
🧘 Gentle Stretching: Keep calf muscles and Achilles tendons flexible to relieve strain.
🦶 Custom Support: Soft inserts or orthotics can take the load off sensitive growing bones.

Don't let heel pain slow your young athlete down! Book a consultation with a podiatrist to get a personalized treatment plan.

Are "growing pains" keeping your child on the sidelines? 👟👇

As children grow, their gait and alignment change rapidly. While some changes are completely normal, persistent clumsiness, frequent tripping, or complaints of aching legs after school could point to underlying biomechanical issues.

Conditions like flat feet, in-toeing (pigeon toes), joint hypermobility, or heel pain are very common, but addressing them early helps ensure your child stays active and pain-free.

A biomechanical assessment can help:
• Eliminate foot, heel, knee, and lower back discomfort.
• Improve posture, stride, and overall balance.
• Ensure proper physical development as your child grows.

If you’ve noticed your child walking on their tiptoes, asking to be carried more often, or wearing out one side of their shoes faster than the other, we can help!

📍 Visit our clinic or call us today to book a comprehensive children's foot assessment.

👏 A big thank you to The Foot Group for joining us at today’s Honour Assembly to help celebrate the achievements of our students.

We were delighted to welcome Victoria Davidson, who presented awards to some of our wonderful students and helped recognise the hard work, resilience and success of our school community.

We’re incredibly grateful to The Foot Group for their ongoing support of Lane Cove Public School. Partnerships like these help strengthen our community and make opportunities like this possible.
