Flat feet, also known as fallen arches, occur when the arch of the foot collapses, causing the foot to flatten out. While some people with flat feet may not experience any pain or discomfort, others may experience pain, swelling, or fatigue in the feet, legs, or lower back.
We do Targeted Muscle Activation to the arch muscles so that you can lift the arch with your muscles without the help of a foot orthosis (a.k.a insole) or invasive surgery.
These are the steps to restore a flat foot:
1. Activate the arch muscles in a non-weight-bearing position, through physical and verbal coaching.
2. Mobilise the ankle in a standing position with the arch.
3. Engage the arch muscles in walking, jumping, and running.
The whole restoration takes about 1-2 months, depending on the severity.
