Overview
Pigeon Toed (Intoeing) Treatment in Sydney | Aussie Foot Healers (AFH) Clinic
Pigeon toed, also known as intoeing, is a condition where the feet turn inwards when walking or running. It is commonly seen in children and can sometimes persist into adulthood. Intoeing can be caused by several factors, including genetics, developmental issues, or underlying musculoskeletal disorders.
Our clinic provides assessment and treatment options to correct intoeing and improve gait patterns.

Effective management and treatment of intoeing can lead to improved walking and running mechanics, reduced risk of tripping and falling, and decreased strain on the knees, hips, and lower back. Correction of intoeing can also help prevent the development of secondary musculoskeletal problems and improve overall balance and coordination.
Our Approach
Procedure and Process for Pigeon Toed Podiatry Treatment
The correction process for pigeon toed (intoeing) includes:
- A comprehensive gait analysis and examination of the lower extremities to determine the cause of intoeing.
- Depending on the underlying cause, treatment may involve specific exercises to strengthen and balance the muscles around the hips and legs.
- In some cases, orthotic inserts or specialised footwear may be recommended to assist in realigning the feet and legs.
- For children, observation is often recommended as many cases of intoeing naturally improve with growth.
- In rare cases, if the condition is severe and does not improve with conservative measures, referral to an orthopedic specialist may be considered.
