Is Toe Walking Normal?

December 16, 2021 by jennifer 3 Comments

“It is not uncommon for toddlers to walk on their toes or on the balls of their feet. This practice is often referred to as toe walking, a hereditary condition that may be seen when a child is learning how to walk. It is considered appropriate until the age of two, but if your child continues to toe walk beyond this point, it is important to have him/her evaluated by a physical or occupational therapist.” – North Shore Pediatric Therapy

      If they continue, their tendons will shorten and they will not be able to place their feet flat to walk normally. Then they would require medical intervention to correct it.
