Our daughter Lizzy was born with hip dysplasia that was diagnosed when she was 4 weeks old, she was fitted immediately with a Pavlik Harness that she had to wear 23 hours of the day for 12 weeks. It was a shock to come to terms with as new parents but luckily for our family the harness was effective for Lizzy and she has passed every check up since and is now a healthy, happy 2 year old 🥰

Some families aren’t as lucky as ours and treatment can stretch for much longer and require further intervention including surgery. Steps charity helps families understand diagnosis and treatment as well as provide valuable resources to ensure families are equipped with all the information they need.

With 1 in 1000 babies being born with Hip Dysplasia it’s vital that this information and support is available for families that may have never heard of or dealt with such conditions.
