Are you a toe walker?


My 12 year old son is a toe walker, and has been ever since he started walking. He is now having pain in his legs and feet. We are going to see a specialist and having xrays done, but wanted to see if anyone out that had a similar problem and what the end result was.

Thanks!

I did! I had to get these ugly brace things that i hated but they were gone in 2 years and i dont have that propblem anymore. Also, the alternative to braces is a surgery to untighten your hamstrings. A consequence of not getting the surgery is that you have very tight hamstrings and arent flexible. Hope i could help.
