What
are Yahoo Groups?
For
those of you in the UK, you may not have heard
of this facility. (I certainly hadn't!) Basically,
it's a mailing list - you send an e-mail to
the Yahoo Group address, and it gets sent
to everyone on the list. In the same way,
all posts get sent to you as e-mails!

What
do they offer?
The
lists are designed to offer support, information
and encouragement. They are open to parents
who have children with clubfoot, as well as
those who have been affected themselves.
What
is the difference between the available groups?
There are two active general groups, the
largest having over 400 members. TalipesUK
was set up by myself, and is generally more
specific to the UK. There is a 'no surgery'
group, which is mainly to discuss the Ponseti
method, plus a group to discuss the French
Physiotherapy Method. In addition, a group
has been set up for those affected by foot
pain, and has many adult members with talipes/clubfoot.
The latest group is an Australian based one.
Below is a link to each group, plus their
description.
