    I was born with flat feet did the massage exercise, the arch exercise, the big toe lift, and the foot arch for about 10 min and I have results within the first day, I’m going to do the exercises everyday

    I have been completely flat footed since I was a child.
    I remember all of us making a foot print in Kindergarten on a sheet of paper. I noticed straight away the difference between MY footprint and those of my classmates. EVERYONE had a significant arch except for me. My foot print was the WHOLE foot, absolutely NO arch. As an adult I shop for shoes with good arch support (then usually add an insert for good measure.).

    I have flat feet since I was about 10 years old, always had problems like my feet burning while walking and sometimes I had something like temporary paralysis in my feet and legs and I could not walk or stand. My dad took me to few doctors, but they didn´t find anything so he told me I´m just lazy and trying to find ways how to be out of school etc. Today I´m 24 years old and few weeks ago my new doctor told me that I have flat feet,heel spur and scoliosis probably due to flat feet. So after all these years now when I know what is it, I can take care of my feet. Thank you for these treatments, they are helping a lot

    I had a pretty bad knee injury that I didn’t take care of ( needed surgery had no money :( ) for over a year causing me to not use my legs or feet as much or not at all some days. I recently had the surgery and Im working my way back. My right knee was the issue causing my right foot to become almost completely flat and my left foot is only kinda flat.
    Thank you for your help! I can barely do the second exercise making a C with my arch so it’s gonna be a fun marathon of a rehab.

  • @seandipaul8257
    @seandipaul8257 ปีที่แล้ว

    It makes sense.
    The feet still have muscles of course.
    I've been into body building for years now.
    It never dawned on me that you need to stretch the tendon in the foot and actually train the foot muscles.
    i've always felt pain at the bottom of my feet when walking. The tightness from the bottom calf which is also painful from being flatfooted leads my body to be pretty unstable when standing.
    It's like I'm always about to fall back.
    I'm gonna do this.
    Also your video from 6 years ago about the Herniated disc has saved my gym career lol.
    3 years post injury and I'm still going strong because of those stretches.

    I used to have orthotics for my flat, pronated feet. They helped a little but never did much. Thing is I used to twist my ankle all the time, then I started wearing those shoes that have the toes separated like fingers on a glove. I stopped twisting my ankle. Then I stopped using the orthotics and did alright for a while but had new problems over time. Seems like exercise helps the most (the toe shoes made my foot stronger). So I will be trying these exercises for sure.

    My niece is 2 years old and she has flat feet - like almost every child her age. The paediatrician advised my sister that my niece needs to start wearing “special” shoes to help develop that arch. Could any of these exercises work on a child as well?
    She doesn’t have any pain or discomfort, she runs and plays like any normal child, so I personally don’t think they should force her to wear arch support shoes.

    • @AskDoctorJo
      @AskDoctorJo  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks. It should be felt mostly at the arch, but those outer muscles do provide stability to the ankle, so they might be firing as well if the arch is weak.

    I think I have flexible flat feet and that it is genetic. It doesn't seem to bother my parents, but it definitely bothers me, which is sad because I love long walks. My favorite shoes are definitely my birkenstocks. I'm trying to strengthen my arches, so thank you for this video!

    Hi doctor Jo, I am from india and I am 18 years old and have flat feet since childhood, but it doesn't hurt at all, I can run properly, I also go to the gym and have no problem ( sometimes it just cramps). My feet have good arch (while I am not standing) but flatens when I am. How long would it take to cure (I want to join the Army)? Should I use insloes? If you answer my questions, it would mean a lot to me.😢😞🙁

    • @AskDoctorJo
      @AskDoctorJo  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Unfortunately, I don't know how long it would take since everyone is different. If you've always had flat feet, insoles might help, but since I can't evaluate you, I really don't know. You can do these 1-2 times a day. Good luck.

    I have super flat feet (congenitally; my dad also had them), but have good ability to move my feet. Most insoles I dislike because they are too rigid, so I use Sorbothane ones that are cushy without reducing sole flexibility.

      Thanks, and you're welcome! It is. That's why getting a good pair of inserts really helps through out the day.

    I used to walk on tip toes when I was little, and now I have a lot of pain on my feet, had a lot of trouble because I grew up taller and faster than most kids my age (5'10) and anything trying to fix my arch is painful, is it necessary to have corrective surgery?

    Hi Doctor Jo, I am noticing that my left foot arch is slowly collapsing. My foot is turned out and I am walking with my feet turned out until now. How long should I do these exercises to correct the arch problem in my left foot ? I don't want to do surgery because it can be very painful. Please advice me Dr Jo.

      It sounds like your closed captions got turned on. You can easily turn them off by clicking the "CC" button at the bottom of the video. If you want to leave them on, you can drag them to another area on the screen, or you can make them transparent. You can even automatically translate them into many different languages.

      Sorry to hear. If you are able to take him to see a physical therapist who specialize in the foot, they could probably make or recommend some inserts for him.
