Pigeon Toes 

This condition is often visual and clear to see the toes turning in, as the toes turn in the knees and ankles turn in also

1. Incorrect fitting footwear can aggravate this condition, by the fact that they are not made with proper shape or support.

2. Habit is another way that young ones can develop pigeon toes seating on the floor while watching T.V or doing other work with crossed legs.

3. Some children get into the habit of walking on their toes and often pigeon toes are the result.

To correct the problem

1. Get an assessment done by a health practitioner from the feet up.

2. Medical grade shoes or boots is often the most effective treatment.

3. Orthoses fitted to the feet and general footwear can relieve the problem.

Posture correction is to realign toes, ankles knees and the whole body.
