MyClubfoot was founded by Benjamin Alexander, who was born with unilateral talipes equinovarus (clubfoot) and treated with the Ponseti method from birth. Having lived through the entire journey — from casting and boots and bar as a baby through to adult life — Ben created MyClubfoot to give families the trusted, community-driven resource he wished had existed when he was diagnosed.
Our mission is to provide accurate, evidence-based information about clubfoot (talipes equinovarus) diagnosis, treatment, and life — and to build a supportive community where no family feels alone on their journey.
Every article on MyClubfoot follows NHS pathways and established medical research. Where we reference clinical information, we cite peer-reviewed sources. We are not a substitute for medical advice from your child’s orthopaedic surgeon or GP.
All content on MyClubfoot is for informational purposes only. Nothing on this site constitutes medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment recommendations. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional — your child’s orthopaedic surgeon, physiotherapist, or GP — for guidance specific to your situation.
For authoritative clinical guidance, refer to the NHS Clubfoot information and Steps Worldwide, the UK’s leading clubfoot charity.
