- Flat feet
- In-toeing and out-toeing
- Growing pains
- Heel pain (Sever’s disease)
- Gait abnormalities
- Growing pains
- Sports-related injuries
- And More!
He understand the importance of early intervention and work closely with families and other paediatric professionals to ensure the best outcomes for each child.
By combining expert knowledge with a compassionate approach, he strives to keep young feet healthy, active and pain free – helping children move with confidence as they grow.
