Read This First: Community Guidelines topic.

[Heath]

Welcome to the Clubfoot Forward Community.

This space is for parents, adults with clubfoot, and caregivers to share experiences,
ask questions, and support one another. It’s here to bridge the gap between clinic
appointments and real life — not to replace your medical team.

Please keep these guidelines in mind:

• Share experience, not prescriptions. Talk about what worked (or didn’t) for you.
  Do not tell others to start/stop a medicine, change brace hours, or ignore a doctor’s plan.
• No diagnosis or treatment orders. None of us here can see someone’s imaging,
  exam, or full history. Always confirm decisions with your own pediatric orthopedic
  specialist or medical team.
• Be kind and assume good intent. Every clubfoot journey is different:
  some kids need more surgery, some need less, some families have more options than others.
  We’re here to support, not judge.
• Protect privacy. Don’t post full names, phone numbers, email addresses,
  or detailed identifying info about you, your child, or your clinicians. Talk in general
  terms (for example “our surgeon” instead of full names).
• Keep it on topic. Use the forum that best fits your post:
  New & Expecting Parents, Relapse & Follow‑Up, Adults with Clubfoot, or Wins & Milestones.
  That makes it easier for others to find and respond.
• No spam, promotions, or fundraising asks. If you want to share a resource,
  explain why it helped you and avoid affiliate links or sales pitches.
• Flag concerning posts. If you see spam, abuse, or clearly unsafe advice,
  report it so it can be reviewed and, if needed, removed.

I read the community regularly and will respond where my experience can help,
but nothing I say here is personal medical advice. Use what you read as ideas and
questions to bring back to your own doctors.

Glad you’re here. You and your kid are not alone in this.
