Correcting flat feet with exercise at home
Having flat feet, or "fallen arches",
means that your feet have low or no arches and press almost completely flat
against the ground.
Flat feet can be associated with pain in
the feet, ankles, lower legs, knees, hips or lower back.
The appearance of flat feet is normal
and common in infants, partly due to "baby fat" which masks the
developing arch and partly because the arch has not yet fully developed. The
human arch develops in infancy and early childhood as part of normal muscle,
tendon, ligament and bone growth. Training of the feet, especially by foot
gymnastics and going barefoot on varying terrain, can facilitate the formation
of arches during childhood, with a developed arch occurring for most by the age
of four to six years. Flat arches in children usually become proper arches and
high arches while the child progresses through adolescence and into adulthood.
