Did you know the condition clubfoot affects about 200,000 babies every year? Chesca Colloredo-Mansfeld, CEO and co-founder of MiracleFeet, talks all about it here 👇

Twice as common in boys as girls, the condition causes one or both feet to turn inwards and upwards making it difficult and painful to walk.

Despite the high occurrence of clubfoot, people in the UK are still largely unfamiliar with the condition as it is routinely treated at birth in countries with advanced healthcare systems.Although clubfoot is categorised as a disability, more than 95 per cent of children who receive treatment early will lead active, healthy lives with minimal if any lasting effects.

Numerous studies, including MiracleFeet’s own data, show consistent bracing is the most likely factor determining long-term success. It is important that families are committed to applying the braces properly to prevent relapse. However, in healthcare systems like the UK, early diagnosis means children will be treated immediately, significantly reducing their chances of experiencing long term mobility issues.
