The only thing I have ever heard pertaining to " toe-walking " is that it

is related to yeast overgrowth in the GI Tract. I know a boy from my

daughters school that toe-walked constantly, after 3 months of

nystatin/natural antifungals it was gone. Saw it for myself!!! So I

don't know if it is really a " foot problem " .......hopefully others will

comment.

Good Luck....

Toe walking, is a Podiatrist visit worth it?

My son is 3 and is still toe walking. Is it worth seeing a

Podiatrist...will it go away on it's own or does anyone have any

suggestions that I could to help him?

I was told ( by an accomplished OT) toe walking was a child's attempt to stimulate the vestibular system by engaging the gastrocnemius. When mine starts doing it I send him out to the trampoline :)Sent from my iPhone

Thanks for sharing this vital information with me...Cheryl indicated the same thing. This boosts up my confidence a little more, since I've been feeling like a fanatacle failure in my sons Biomedical protocol. I need to stay strong and not allow myself to loose fate. Thanks for your post.

I have been thinking about investing in a Trampoline. Does your O. T recommend any other exercises for toe walking to strengthen the Achilles feet muscles? I'm really worried about how it may affect his gate in the long run???

There are a couple of good books put there with practical tips:The Sensory Smart Child Building Bridges through Sensory Integration Therapy( I'm sure there are many more)Our child benefits greatly from a lot of exercise, movement etcI would also check out what the other parent said about yeast which can cause many strange symptoms.Having a full " sensory diet" has been very useful for our son. The trampoline is one of the best purchases we've made. We have a big on in the back yard and a small one in his room. He is a huge sensory seeker craving constant input to his syrstem.I will say though starting a biomed protocol last May has by far had the strongest impact on reducing his sensory need. Hope this is helpful!Sent from my iPhoneOn

toe walking for our son was constipation regardless what was coming out already. We gave him some natural intestinal formulas from American Botanical Pharmacy ( https://www.herbdoc.com/index.php?option=com_frontpage & Itemid=1 ), each diaper was full and smelled gross and a bit different each time, but he never toe walked again. Geeze, that was about 10 years ago. He's 14 years old now. ps.

Thank you so much , we will hopefully be able to invest in a Trampoline this year. I also wish we could invest in a wooden play yard set with a slide, monkey bars swing set but gosh they want $699. - $2,000 for these play yard gyms these days...crazy! I sometimes hate taking my 3 year old to the local parks because I always find agressive children with parents whom do care to discipline. The private Trampoline in our back yard is the way to go.

Irma, You can get a mini tramp and one of those big therapy balls (target) for probably $60 total. Go to the library and look for the "building bridges" book. Ask them to order it if unavaiable. It has terrific fun interactive push-pull-play activities for you and your child. If you can't find it, e mail me off list and I'll send you ours. Sent from my iPhone

My son did that too. We did OT & Biomedical interventions. It resolved but not

sure exactly what it was in regards to biomed that did it.

One of my friends who has a daughter with Aspergers that does toe walking is

still doing it but has significantly decreased. She isn't on the diet, biomed or

have OT; However, she is active in sports and basically, the mom tells her to

stop walking on her toes everytime she see's her doing it. ?Behavioral? Sensory?

Biochemical?

Is it worth seeing a Podiatrist...will it go away on it's own or does anyone have any suggestions that I could to help

Not sure of the type of arsenic. Stan tested high in arsenic, and I remember reading that one source of arsenic could be the arsenic in wood preservative.I bought a step 2 plastic set. I think you may be able to find a wood set without the arsenic, but I would check with the manufacturer to confirm what the wood has been treated with.Really , what kind of Arsenic would you say they are treated with? What would you recommend buying or not buying?...they are way to expensive anyways?From:  and Stan ; To: <mb12 valtrex >; Subject: Re: Toe walking, is a Podiatrist visit worth it? Sent: Sun, Feb 27, 2011 7:23:00 PM  Watch out for wooden playsets - make sure the wood is not treated with arsenic as a preservative.Thank you so much , we will hopefully be able to invest in a Trampoline this year. I also wish we could invest in a wooden play yard set with a slide, monkey bars swing set but gosh they want $699. - $2,000 for these play yard gyms these days...crazy! I sometimes hate taking my 3 year old to the local parks because I always find agressive children with parents whom do care to discipline. The private Trampoline in our back yard is the way to go.

The trampoline is one of the best purchases we've made. We have a big on in the back yard and a small one in his room.
