Supportive podiatry assessment to understand joint flexibility and support comfortable movement.
Hypermobility means that a child’s joints move more than average. Many children are naturally flexible and experience no problems at all. Some children, however, may experience joint pain, fatigue, frequent sprains, or difficulty keeping up with activity due to reduced joint stability.
Hypermobility can affect the feet, ankles, knees, and hips, and may influence balance, posture, and walking patterns.
At Norwest Podiatry, we assess how joint flexibility affects your child’s movement and comfort, and provide guidance to support stability and confidence.
