Severs… Don’t let it spoil sport
An active child is a happy and healthy child.
Each day kids with heel pain stop being active, playing sports & having fun with their friends.
While they are growing, active kids are at risk of pain at the growth plate at the back of their heel.
Have you noticed a limp?
Do they complain of sore feet?
Do they not want to play anymore?
Severs is often an early sign that your child may have poor foot posture and while they are still developing it is the perfect time to have it checked by our Podiatrists to make sure there are no underlying issues.
Lets keep kids active while they grow…. Don’t let Severs be a spoil sport.
