Children's feet can grow anatomically and functionally based on both internal (sex, age, and heredity) and external (environmental) factors. Unfortunately, foot problems are common, and affecting millions of people around the world.1 Understanding the significance of proper foot alignment and adopting strategies to maintain it can have a profound impact on our overall health.
