Hello, You have to be evaluated for spasm of gastrocnemius muscle or short tendon or developmental problems or delayed milestones etc. If no abnormalities found then you may undergo physiotherapy and behavioral therapy. Shoes with elevated soul under front is useful. If no improvement please consult with your orthopedic he will examine and treat you accordingly. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
