Low muscle tone

I've always been concerned about my son since he started standing and I noticed he is on the insides of his feet and can't walk yet.
We have been back to physio today and now been told he has low muscle tone. I've googled this and now really worried there could be something more serious underlying. Has anyone else's child been diagnosed with this?

Dd had that and was eventually diagnosed with hypermobility syndrome (Ehlers Danlos). Basically, it made it more difficult for her to walk and she has had a fair bit of joint pain. Physio has helped.

How is your child now? Is walking and everything ok?

She's grown up. About to start a very physical acting course. She does get pain but has learnt to live with it.

Her brother has the same thing but has hardly had any pain at all and is quite sporty.
