From Tiptoes to Confident Steps

Is your child constantly walking on their toes? While it might look playful or harmless at first, persistent toe walking beyond a certain age could signal an underlying issue. At Arunalaya Physiotherapy, we help children transition to natural heel-to-toe walking through customized, gentle, and effective therapy.

What is Toe Walking?

What is Advance pain managment

Toe walking is a walking pattern where a child walks on the balls of their feet without touching the heels to the ground. While it's common in toddlers learning to walk, if this pattern continues beyond age 2–3, it may require attention.

When Should You Be Concerned?

  • Your child walks on toes all the time
  • Heels do not touch the ground even when asked
  • Complaints of tight calves or poor balance
  • Associated delays in speech, sensory, or motor development
  • Family history of neurological conditions




    Possible Causes of Toe Walking

    • Habitual behavior (no medical cause)
    • Tight calf muscles / short Achilles tendon
    • Sensory Processing Disorder
    • Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
    • Neurological or muscular disorders (e.g., Cerebral Palsy)
