Club Feet

Does anyone have information about strengthening the feet and ankles of someone who has had club feet surgically repaired. There is a lot of scar tissue, the feet are quite flat with little longitudinal arch. The feet are shorter than normal and ankles are small too.

Rosalie C we're sorry for the delay in answering your question. We asked our teacher Ilaria Cavagna, who is educated on this topic. She suggests that they need both stretching (to release the scar tissue) and they also need to reinforce the foot and ankle. But everything should be done very gently and progressively. It might be nice to team up with a chiropractor or physical therapist because manual treatment and exercise is ideal. We hope this helps!
