Children's Foot Care

At My Podiatry we specialise in the growth & development of children's feet & recognise the importance of catering to the individual needs and characteristics of this age group. Children can begin walking anywhere between 8 & 18 months, so it is important to have them assessed if you suspect any problems.

We are experienced in assessing & treating any number of pathologies that can occur:

• Ingrown toenails
• Ingrown toenail surgery
• In toed gait - Pidgeon toes
• Out toed gait or walk
• Tibial varum - Bowed legs
• Growing pains - Especially at the knee & heel
• Club foot

What Are The Signs To Look For?

• Tripping or falling
• If the child complains of pain or sore legs & feet
• Delayed milestones - walking or jumping

Seniors Foot Care

Dancer & Ballet Foot Care

My Podiatrist specialise in the specific podiatric needs of ballerinas and dancers. We offer pointe assessments and set specific programs to achieve certain goals like gain entry to VCAS, scholarships and work on any injuries or weaknesses.

Arch Angel Products

Arch Angels is a specific product exclusive to My Podiatrist, as demonstrated by our latest dancer in the Photo Gallery below. The pointe and foot posture are magnificent for those dancers wanting to achieve excellence.

Arch Angels is a flexible orthotic insole that fits into pointe shoes and assists by strengthening and protecting the feet when in pointe. It helps the dancer gain the desired foot posture and arch.
