Flat Feet

What is it?

• A general term that refers to a foot with flattened/reduced arch

• Can be due to the arch of the foot not developing properly during childhood but can also occur over time as wear and tear over time can result in a fallen arch

• Flat feet work differently to feet with ‘normal’ arches and increase the risk of injury due to increased stress on the foot, ankle, knees and hips

How can I help?

Orthotics and/or footwear changes are usually very effective in accommodating and supporting flat feet.
