What is Toe walking ?
Toe Walking is characterized by walking on the toes rather than using a typical heel to toe gait. While it is common in young children, persistent toe walking can indicate underlying conditions such as cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, or autism spectrum disorders. Identifying the cause is crucial for effective treatment.
Treatment Process:
At NeuroOne Physio, we address toe walking through a comprehensive physiotherapy approach. This includes handson therapy, active and passive range of motion exercises, strength training, gait training, and the use of orthotics if necessary. Our goal is to correct the walking pattern, improve ankle flexibility, and enhance overall mobility.
Key Benefits:
- Corrects gait and improves walking pattern.
- Enhances ankle range of motion and strength.
- Supports long term mobility and function.
