Foot Talk Fridays : Flat Feet

Subtitles:

Welcome to Foot Talks Fridays!

Today we’re going to talk about flat feet of any age, for children and adults. 

Most of the flat feet that we see at the clinic are indeed not flat, so when the person sits with their foot not on the floor there is a visible arch when they stand, the arch collapse, in most cases.

It is because the feet lean in (you can see from the diagram that we’re putting up of what we’re talking about when the feet lean in) and so what we do here at the clinic is we measure how many degrees the foot leans in and then we tilt the foot the opposite direction so that the ankle and the foot fits perfectly straight. 

We examine that foot every six weeks, or every twelve weeks, or every six months depending on your age until we get full correction.

Enjoy your Friday!
