Hello,

As due to club foot there will be a change in the biomechanics of the muscles and the joints.

There are two things which can help you - one is the surgical correction of the club foot but this will be a lengthy process and also at the age of 27 it will be difficult to regain the normal biomechanics of the joint.

The other one is to try out physiotherapy - the use of exercise, hot water fermentation, stretching, strengthening, balance board training will help improve the stability of the joint.

In cases of club foot at this age or 27 the correct procedures are to be well planned by the foot surgeon and also the prediction of the outcome is required.

Conservative management is always helpful but not upto 100%.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
