\u2022 During the first months of life, don\u2019t put rigid shoes on your child. Barefoot provides better conditions for a more natural development.<\/p>\n
\u2022 You should never force your child to walk without him or her being properly prepared for it.<\/p>\n
\u2022 When starting the first steps the child should wear flexible shoes allowing feet to breathe. You should not over tighten his or her shoes; it is better to wear shoes with zippers or Velcro fastenings.<\/p>\n
\u2022 It is highly important that the length of the shoe does not exceed the big toe about 1 cm. The shoes should be replaced every 3 months or 6 months depending on the child’s growth stage.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Choose simple shoes that allow foot and especially ankle\u2019s mobility.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Physical activity helps to the foot strengthening and development.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Do not be alarmed, unless there are very obvious pathologies, on the emergence of flat feet during the first year of walking, as the foot is not yet fully developed.<\/p>\n
\u2022 If at the age of three major alterations appear or persist, do not hesitate to consult your podiatrist to find out if your child is within the normal development parameters.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Remember that foot prevention, surveillance and treatment will prevent future knee, hip and spine pathologies. If the child has symptoms consistent with problems presented by his or her parents, we can make an early assessment of possible genetic structural alterations in order to elaborate a correction plan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
