Children's podiatrist Geelong and Colac
When it comes to growing feet, specialised care matters. At Prosper Health, our team of children’s podiatrists in Geelong and Colac understands the unique development phases of your child’s lower limbs and feet. Whether it’s pain, walking concerns, or footwear support, we’re here to provide tailored guidance and professional care in children’s podiatry.
A baby’s foot is primarily made up of cartilage, and it takes years for bones to fully form and growth plates to fuse—often not until the late teenage years. During these important growth stages, a range of issues can arise that are specific to childhood. From in-toeing and flat feet to heel pain and toe walking, early assessment and treatment can make a big difference in long-term outcomes.
At Prosper Health, we take the time to understand your child’s needs. Our children’s podiatrists use a combination of play-based functional testing, detailed gait analysis, and thorough physical assessment to make an accurate diagnosis. This ensures your child gets the right support early, whether that’s through specific footwear advice, customised orthotics, or foot-strengthening exercises.
Our clinics in Geelong and Colac stay at the forefront of research in paediatric podiatry. We believe in delivering care that’s grounded in evidence while making the experience comfortable and engaging for kids and reassuring for parents. Our goal is to keep your child moving with confidence and ease.
Children’s podiatry isn’t just about addressing problems, it’s also about prevention and long-term foot health. Whether you’re noticing changes in the way your child walks, or they’ve mentioned discomfort during activity, our team is here to help. We support children of all ages and stages, from toddlers taking their first steps to active teens.

These include flat feet, in-toeing or out-toeing, heel pain (such as Sever’s disease), toe walking, warts, ingrown toenails, growing pains, and concerns around balance or walking patterns. Early treatment can help correct issues before they become long-term problems.
Children’s podiatry provides targeted support during key stages of development. By identifying and addressing foot or leg concerns early, podiatrists can help improve mobility, reduce discomfort, and support healthy movement patterns. With the right care, children can remain active and confident, whether they’re playing sport or simply enjoying everyday activities.
Children’s feet go through rapid changes as they grow, and some concerns won’t resolve on their own.
