"When parents are faced with this disaster of seeing a baby born with clubfeet, they get to be very depressed. When they go to the doctor and are told that their baby must have surgery, they are sad. But when they can see that this deformity is nothing, that is a very easy thing to correct and the child is normal, they have hope." Dr Ignacio Ponseti

The Ponseti Method of treatment is now established as the most effective treatment for clubfoot. It is non-surgical, inexpensive and simple, making it ideally suited for roll-out in developing countries.
