Summary:To "train to be straight" is the original meaning of the term "orthopaedics," which was coined over 250 years ago by Nicolas Andry. But how can€ the "trainers" straighten the crooked bones of children? Should we simply let nature take its course in the growth and development of children?€ Or do we need splints, braces, corsets, or even surgical operations, for straightening what is crooked? Do skewfeet stop Cinderella from turning into a princess? Are children warped if they are knock-kneed or bow-legged?€ Written in an entertaining style, this book.
