i have flat feet...and its only in recent years that it caused discomfort.
i suggest u get a referral letter from polyclinic to see a specialist..nothing major, no need surgery
but what the specialist can do is custom make an insole for his shoes, help to correct the flat feet if possible
too bad im too old to "change'...but for kids still possible.
i got mine done at Changi Hosp..
also get a letter from doc to excuse from Running and Skipping
swimming and cycling are good enough for him
Hi, my son has flat foot. He is 8 this year. I brought him to polyclinic, request a referral letter to KK Hospital.Thanks for your advise. May I know how much for your insole done at Changi Hosp? I know there is a shop called "2.ft" in IMM also provide custom-fitted insole but I think it is quite expensive. And I know that the insole must be changed every few months. Am I right? THX
You can bring him to a feet specialist someone like a podiatrist. They not only make insole, they also guide how children should walk. I find Orchard clinic very good! The doctor said no one is too old for treatment.how then you know they have flat feet?
i brought my son for foot reflex and the massager say my son's feet is quite flat... but not TOTALLY flat yet.....
need to see doc?
he definitely can't run that's for sure..... slow like tortoise
