What it means

What it can mean

Many toddlers toe walk for a while and grow out of it. When it continues, it can come with tight calf muscles, balance or sensory differences, or muscle tone changes that physical therapy can help with.

When to get it checked

Signs it's worth an evaluation.

If you see any of these, book a pediatric PT evaluation. You don't have to be sure first. That's what the evaluation is for. Always share concerns with your pediatrician too.

01.

Still toe walking after age 2 to 3
Most of the time, not just when playing or excited.

02.

Can't stand flat-footed
Heels won't touch the ground even when standing still, or calves feel tight.

03.

Only one foot, or frequent falls
Toe walking on one side, tripping often, or losing skills they had.
