Children's
Foot & Leg Care
Concerned about your child’s feet, legs or the way they walk or run?
We can assess foot and leg pain, verrucas, sports injuries and concerns about how your child’s feet are developing.
At The Vale Clinic in Wokingham, we care for children and young people of all ages, with treatment tailored to their growth, activity levels and individual needs.
It may be worth arranging an assessment if your child:
You don’t need to know what’s causing the problem before booking, we’ll assess your child and help you understand what may be going on.
Children’s feet and legs develop as they grow, and it is not always easy to know what is normal or when something should be checked.
We can assess your child if they are experiencing pain, having difficulty with walking or sport, or if you have concerns about their feet, legs or movement.
Following their assessment, we’ll explain what we have found and whether treatment, exercises, footwear advice or simply monitoring is appropriate.
We assess and manage a range of foot and lower-limb conditions in children and young people, including:
If you are concerned about the way your child walks, runs or moves, a gait and movement assessment can help us understand what may be contributing.
We assess how the feet and legs are functioning together and, where appropriate, look at strength, mobility, footwear and movement patterns.
Depending on what we find, we may recommend exercises, footwear advice, treatment, orthotics or monitoring as your child grows.
Verrucas are very common in children and often disappear naturally, but treatment may be helpful if they become painful, persistent or troublesome.
“We offer verruca treatment for children aged 6 and over, with treatment options recommended according to your child’s age and individual needs.
For children under 6 with verrucas, we offer guidance on suitable over-the-counter products, with an optional 15-minute discussion appointment if you’d like to talk things through with a clinician.
We’ll help you find the right care for your child
Tell us a little about what’s been going on, and we’ll guide you to the most appropriate appointment for your child.
