The Injury Hub: Club Foot

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 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.

 

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.

Our paediatric physiotherapists have the expertise and clinical training to provide early treatment to children with symptoms of Club Foot. We will provide a comfortable assessment of your child and ensure the highest level of care at all stages of treatment. 

All of our Physiotherapists are fully Chartered and our Paediatric physiotherapists are trained to treat babies through to adolescents.

Had a very positive experience. Had severe back pain and Dylan was able to see me at short notice. He was very thorough and clear in assessing and explaining my condition and structuring a recovery exercise program that worked very succesfully. I am now fully recovered and looking forward to being as active as I was before my injury.

Really happy with the two appointments I had with Dylan Connelly to treat my calf strain. His approach was both professional and personable and he ensured that I was completely comfortable during all phases of the appointments. He explained and demonstrated the exercises in 'lay' terms and ensured that I understood and was happy with the approach and expected outcomes. I would definitely recommend Dylan for any physio needs.

I met with Lisa on three occasions in relation to my hamstring and she was absolutely amazing! So easy to chat to and super informative. You need to book at least a week or two in advance to get a spot with her and it's no surprise. She's absolutely fantastic! He explained and demonstrated the exercises in 'lay' terms and ensured that I understood and was happy with the approach and expected outcomes. I would definitely recommend Dylan for any physio needs.

I went to Olga for 4 or 5 weeks before the marathon this year for hip pain. I was contemplating not running as my long run training had become so painful on the hip. Olga treated with dry needling and massage and over 2 sessions, I saw a big difference. I continued a weekly session to keep me loose and followed her exercise plan. I completed the marathon with no hip issues and felt like my recovery after was a lot faster than previous years.

I had a painful trapped nerve in my neck which caused pain together with pins and needles running into my arm and hand. I attended Mohammed twice over a period of two weeks. It completely resolved after second appointment. Mohammed is an expert professional at what he does. I would highly recommend his services. I would definitely recommend Dylan for any physio needs.

I can only recommend Dr. Muhammed Sohail. I’ve been to many physio consultants and he’s been the very best so far: dry needling has improved my IT band issues so much over two sessions including my knee pain. I would definitely recommend Dylan for any physio needs.
