ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT FLAT FEET TREATMENT

You can know whether you have flat feet or not by walking over wet sand or with wet feet so that you get an impression of the bottom of your foot. If the impression it casts is complete, you have flat feet.

WHAT ARE FLAT FEET?

It refers to the shape of your foot having an upward curve in the middle that forms an arch that is lower than the normal ones. It is called fallen arches. However, it is not just the shape of the feet. There are numerous tendons that connect your lower leg and foot that work together to form an arch in your foot. As these tendons together pull the proper amount, your foot crafts a moderate or normal arch. When the tendons fail to pull together, your foot crafts little or no arch. Those with fallen arches need flat feet therapy.

Why Flat Feet Therapy Is Important

Some people, despite having flat feet face no problem. Usually, it is their natural feet shape. However, most people find it problematic as it affects their mobility and everyday activities. Some of the signs of this pain and problem are

  • you experience pain often
  • your feet get tired easily
  • the pain targets the areas of the arches

  • there is inflammation at the inside bottoms of your feet
  • certain postures become difficult

How Flat Feet Result In Shin Splints

Flat feet increase the chance of shin splints during exercises. Again, it is because the springy arch that most people have acts as a shock-absorber. With every jump or step someone with arched feet takes, the tendon stretches like a rubber band and absorbs the impact, keeping it off the shins. However, people with flat feet do not have this much absorbing benefit. Although the flat feet have made them accustomed to the foot and leg discomfort, the pain that comes with this causes shin splint.
