High Arches, what does it mean? Part 1

[@intheflesh]

It typically means exactly what the Postural Restoration Institute says it does. It's probably your right arch and it means that your right foot cannot truly pronate. It can't do that because you can't get off of the right side of your body.

[@docjenfit]

That could definitely be a contributing factor. There are also definitely people who have high arches bilaterally and have many other contributing factors

[@sixshot1598]

Hi brother can you tell me where I can read about this? I have high arches and the majority of my weight is supported by my right leg. My left leg is very weak and I have very unstable hips/leg/feet

[@intheflesh]

@@docjenfit In the overwhelming majority of cases (excepting traumatic injuries), these all trace back to being stuck in the fundamental underlying pattern (Left-AIC) identified by the Institute.

Respected Dr How to come to know that the Arch is normal Can YOU please make such a video on it I have Archy Feet but I don't know whether they are High Arch or it's a normal Arch 😢 ​@@docjenfit

Found out my high arches have been causing my hip pain and tigthening of a pelvic muscles as my foot began turning in a little to compensate for the last 10years

[@jameswilson9760]

Same here, now I have sciatica in the one side and doing physio every day and had to buy costume orthotics.

[@docjenfit]

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Hopefully this helps a bit. Watch part 2 for some exercises!

Most of my family have high arches we just wear insoles or try to stay in running shoes. So far no issues. However certain shoes are a no for me.

[@Mosestylez]

I might write this too late, but ahixh insoles do you guys use? I'm also looking for one, but don't know which one is good for high arches🙏

@@smoochydatrhino5793 I ordered the Superfeet (green color) since it's for high arch. Hopefully it will help🙏🙏

Shocked that they are saying not to worry if you aren't having symptoms. You should worry before the symptoms come, so you don't get them in the first place! I have been in pain for several decades. I just got diagnosed with high arches at 60 years old. I wish I would have done something sooner. Now I am having severe pain in my feet... and wondering if they are the cause of other physical problems I have

[@docjenfit]

Hi Brenda! Thanks so much for the comment! What we mean more is that you don't need to worry base line if you just have high arches alone that are asymptomatic. However, we still advocate for people to be working on their general foot and toe restrictions in order to create a strong, mobile, and resilient foot. We may never change the physical structure of how the foot looks. However, we can reduce the likelihood of symptoms or dysfunction if we focus more on the baseline mobility and stability of the foot. Hope that makes sense!

Respected Dr Can YOU please answer my question please 🙏 How to come to know High Arch Feet are Fixed? Through walking or doing Exercises or while sitting & standing with the Neutral Ankle? Please kindly 🙏 answer

Hi there! I have part 2 to this episode that goes over some tips and exercises to help! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqDKf3qQhbWHaqssi=Q6-1ce4HGR1HYoyp

[@UguysRnuts]

My understanding is that "High Arches" is not the same as Cavus Foot and "Pes cavus" means ABNORMALLY high arches, which is higher arches than just having a normal "High Arch.

[@docjenfit]

That is mostly true. However, this all lies on a spectrum and it's tough to determine what type of high arch is "abnormal." There also isn't much research that shows we will ever functionally change the underlying structure of the foot. Just help to work on baseline mobility and strength to be able to better support the high arch.

[@SconHeadVideos]

I have a high arch in my left foot, I broke my knee when I was 15 and I was in a cast for almost a year. This seemed to cause the high arch as it was never there before. Now when I walk or run I get extreme cramp in the front of my shin. Any idea what may cause this pain? And is it normal to have one foot with a high arch 🤦🏼🙈

[@docjenfit]

It's a bit tough to say over YT, But I would recommend seeing your provider if you need peace of mind. Otherwise, you can watch Pt 2 to see the exercises we recommend!

[@catherinethorpe3940]

I just been told yesterday and it was a light bulb moment as told that's why tight calves heel pain kills to run and it's causing neck back who knew so now on a mission to get right shoes and fingers x back to running 🤞 slowly as told not to run but a great day burner

[@docjenfit]

you got this!!

[@strongsyedaa7378]

How one come to know that the Arch is normal or High Arch? I also have Archy Feet but I don't know whether the Arch is normal or it's High Arch

[@docjenfit]

Honestly the high arch designation isn't the important thing. If you are feeling that your arches are rigid and preventing you from having a good flexible foot, that is when we want to work on those restrictions. Hope that makes sense!

[@r.g6170]

the heel of my footware always wearsoff. only the heel. do i have high arch? why does that happen?

[@docjenfit]

It probably means you just heavy pressure into your heel as you walk! Could indicate high arches but can't say for certain

[@just.jaxmine2137]

I have an arched feet and my left foot I walk side ways and my right foot I walk straight and it’s bugging me because I feel like everyone it’s looking at me

[@docjenfit]

With high arches it can be really important to work on our foot and ankle mobility. You could also check your hip mobility, especially hip rotation, to see if there are any restrictions there.

[@thatberryy]

could you tell us whats the solution? i cant really squat in gym which is a major setback or applying brakes in bikes is hard too. Any tips?
