Toe Walking

Physical Therapy
Written By Derek Hackett

What It Is:

Toe walking is when a child walks mostly on the balls of their feet with little or no heel contact.

Why It Matters:

Long-term toe walking can affect muscle development, posture, and balance, and may be linked to sensory processing issues.

How Prairie Grit Helps:

  • Stretching and strengthening

  • Balance and gait re-training

  • Real-world practice in gym/playground

  • Sensory integration if needed
