What makes The Center for Childhood Development unique? A reflection on 20 years of practice.
As a parent, it’s exciting to watch our kids learn to walk; their steps are uneven, their arms are high in the air, and sometimes, they are on the balls of their feet. Toe walking can be completely normal when kids first learn to walk. But what if they've been walking for weeks, months, and even years, and they are still up on their toes?
… toe walking can be normal, and most kids do outgrow it. But after the age of 2, if your child is continuing to walk on his or her toes, it’s best to see your pediatrician or physical therapist for further evaluation.
Toe walking can have a lasting impact on our bodies, including:
Your child’s therapists will assess musculoskeletal, neuromotor, and sensory systems to determine the best course of treatment. Each child is unique, and recommendations will be individually tailored to best meet his or her needs.
If your child is older than the age of 2 AND walks on his or her toes more than 50% of the time, contact us for further evaluation.
