What is Club Foot?
A Club Foot or congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV) is a congenital deformity that 1 in 1,000 children are born with today. TEV is classified into 2 groups: Postural TEV or Structural TEV. Club Foot (or CTEV) is postural. It is usually a painless defect that can be corrected quite simply and the majority of children affected are walking by the normal age.
There are no known causes of this disorder but it is linked to genetics as twice as many boys are affected than girls and 25% of children with club foot are related to somebody with the same disorder.
How We Can Help.
Symptoms, Treatment & How We Can Help Your Recovery.
Learn about common club foot symptoms, effective treatments, and how our expert team supports your recovery journey every step of the way.
Symptoms Of Club Foot
Symptoms of Club Foot can be seen where the bones and joints in the foot are misaligned resulting in the foot being turned in and down. It can happen to both feet or just one and it makes it hard to hold the feet in the right position.
Club Foot Treatment
It is important to begin treatment early on, because the younger the child is, the easier it is to correct the problem. This is because the foot is easier to shape. Treatment is almost always non-operative and surgery is only used as a last resort.
Our Chartered Physiotherapists have the expertise to perform these non-operative methods to correct or help the condition. They can gently manipulate the foot over a series of visits which will help to realign the bones and move the feet into the right position.
