The Ponseti Method

This little guy is in the middle of the process which will straighten his clubfeet, but him being this cute is just a bonus for our volunteer crew!

The Ponseti method stretches the ligaments and aligns the bones through gentle manipulations and a series of casts. A small surgical procedure and night splints complete the correction, enabling strong & healthy development—and a life filled with possibility instead of limitations.

#MercyShips trains local professionals in this method to leave a lasting impact—and a lot of potential football players!
