Hmm. I would agree with PP about some diagnostics like ultrasound to make sure the hip structure is normal. I evaluate gait for a living, though I don’t see kids younger than 3-5 years old as we can’t get a good picture of gait issues until then. If she’s not even walking, I think it could be difficult to evaluate without imaging and it could be totally normal. There is so much range and variation with kids under age 10 as they grow and develop so rapidly.

Personally, we did cranio sacral for DS for breastfeeding issues when he was younger, not anything related to gait. We also saw Pediatric OT and PT for speech and core when he was much older. Both were great experiences if you need to go that route.

@BUNBUN: Agreed! Usually clicking is associated with hip dysplasia and results in a referral for a hip ultrasound. What you are describing in her walking sort of sounds like a "swayback," which can also be associated with hip dysplasia. I don't see any issue with the other therapies, but from my experience with hip related issues I'd be requesting an ultrasound.
