Is
your child complaining of sore, tired, or aching feet? Are you concerned
that your child would rather be indoors watching T.V. instead of
playing outside? Weight bearing pressure on the feet can make your
child's feet tired and sore, discouraging participation in active
sports and recreational activity. Foot Efx Children's Lifestyle
Arch Supports help young children enjoy their daily activities comfortably
- encouraging participation in active recreation, thus developing
good lifelong habits of a healthy, active lifestyle.
The
California Podiatric Medical Association reports that approximately
80 percent of children of ALL ages have trouble with their feet
because of improper footwear. Did you know that by the age of six,
about 30 percent of all children have foot disorders that require
professional treatment due to improper footwear? Children's feet
grow rapidly, as often as two to three sizes a year beginning at
about 12 months of age. The growth of a young child's foot is sporadic,
with the most rapid period of growth occurring within the first
10 years. The correct choice of children's footwear, including arch
supports, can play a pivotal role in developing normal feet.
