Pigeon / In-Toeing Assessment in Albury, Wodonga & Wagga Wagga

Pigeon toeing, or in-toeing, is a walking pattern where a child’s feet turn inward instead of pointing straight ahead. It is commonly seen in young children and can be part of normal development, but in some cases may affect balance, coordination, or confidence.

At The Foot Clinics, we assess in-toeing across Albury, Wodonga and Wagga Wagga, helping families understand whether it is part of normal growth or something that may benefit from support.

What Causes In-Toeing?

It is often related to developmental positioning in the hips or legs, and many children naturally grow out of it. In some cases, muscle control, foot posture, or alignment may contribute.
