Babies & children

Plagiocephaly (flat head syndrome)

A flat or uneven head shape in babies, usually from lying in one position. Common and very treatable, often without a helmet.

Clubfoot

A baby's foot turned in and down at birth. After Ponseti casting, wearing boots and a bar keeps the correction.

Cerebral palsy

A group of conditions affecting movement and muscle tone. Braces such as AFOs can help children stand, walk and play.

Toe walking

Walking on tiptoes beyond the toddler years. Often harmless, but persistent toe walking is worth checking.

Flat feet in children

Most young children have flat-looking feet that develop an arch with age. Painful or stiff flat feet should be checked.

After a mastectomy

After breast surgery, a well-fitted breast form and bra can restore balance, comfort and confidence.

Living with a leg amputation

From healing to your first steps: how a prosthetic leg is planned, fitted and adjusted after amputation.

Limb difference in children

When a child is born with part of a limb missing or formed differently. A prosthesis can help, planned around growth.

Arm and hand amputation

After losing part of a hand or arm, a prosthesis can help with daily tasks, work and confidence.

Knee osteoarthritis

Wear in the knee joint that causes pain and stiffness. An unloader brace or insoles can help some people stay active.

Drop foot

Difficulty lifting the front of the foot, so the toes catch when walking. An ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) often helps.

Heel pain (plantar fasciitis)

Pain under the heel, often worst with the first steps in the morning. Insoles, footwear and stretching usually help.

Scoliosis

A sideways curve of the spine. In growing children, a brace can help limit how much the curve progresses.

Wrist and hand injuries

Fractures, tendon injuries, carpal tunnel and arthritis. A splint can protect healing tissue and reduce pain.
