Rosalind Owen, Executive Director at Global Clubfoot Initiative https://globalclubfoot.com/ Description: Gently hold the baby's knee still Hold the foot by the toes and move it outwards Hold the foot out for a few seconds Do the movements gently - the baby should not be uncomfortable Repeat several times, a few times per day Gentle massage to the foot and leg will also help the child to become used to the foot being touched These movements will work best on a baby whose foot position is corrected or partly corrected
