In-Toeing and Pigeon Toe Assessment in Goulburn

When the feet turn inward while walking or running, most common in growing children.

In-toeing, often called pigeon toe, is common in growing children and usually improves with time. An assessment tells you whether it needs treatment or simply monitoring.
