With school back and winter sport well underway, kids are running, jumping, sprinting, and training harder than ever.
But for many children, this sudden increase in activity can lead to foot, heel, ankle, or knee pain — and if ignored, it can quickly turn into time off sport.
Common issues we see at this time of year include:
- Heel pain (like Sever’s disease)
- Knee pain during or after sport
- Flat feet or poor foot alignment
- Growing pains that aren’t actually “just growing pains”
- Recurring injuries or reduced performance
The good news? Early assessment and treatment can make a huge difference.
Why a Biomechanics Assessment Matters
A comprehensive biomechanics assessment looks at how your child moves, not just where it hurts. At Frenchs Forest Foot Clinic, we assess:
- Foot posture and alignment
- Walking and running patterns
- Muscle strength and flexibility
- How growth spurts may be affecting movement
By identifying issues early, we can help reduce pain, prevent injury, and keep kids doing the sports they love — comfortably and confidently.
Don’t Wait Until They’re Benched
Pain is not a normal part of sport for kids. If your child is limping, complaining of pain, or avoiding activity, it’s time to get it checked.
Book now for a comprehensive biomechanics assessment and set your child up for a strong, pain-free season.
