Kids Corner
For the kids, we provide a relaxed environment which allows us to assess each child thoroughly.
It is important that the child feels comfortable and the parent is at ease so we can provide the best possible treatment and advice. Whether you are concerned about how your child walks/runs, they complain of pain in their legs/feet, or even if you find they struggle to keep up with you or children of similar age to them, we can help you. We see children of all ages.
