[@atroche1978]

I've had flat feet since my youth which resulted in slight inward bending at the knees. I'm 39 and run alot. I used to get lots of back and knee pains. My podiatrist told me to 1. get in the habit intentionally making an arch when standing, 2. land on the front half of foot when walking/jogging, 3. wear proper fitting footwaer and good inserts. All these alterations have made a huge impact.

[@ummesawdah]

Bert T. where do you get your shoe inserts? and how did it really effect your knees before? did it also effect your hips

[@atroche1978]

rosey saz I purchased the Dr Scholls gel inserts. They make a huge difference. My knees were in pain because while running I wasn't making and maintaining a strong postured foot arch which also led to me landing on my foot the wrong way. Never really had hip pain but alot of lower back pain.

[@ummesawdah]

Oh cool thanks for the answer and figuring yourself out! I never and sadly I now have lower back,knee and ankle pain. I'll have a look into the shoe inserts. They do have quite a few

[@atroche1978]

rosey saz Yes they do. I tried quite a few brands throughout the years, even a custom pair from a podiatrist, and the ones that work best for me are the dr scholls. You have to find what works for you. Also as I previously stated get into the habit of intentionally arching your feet. Best of luck.

[@ummesawdah]

I've just ordered myself some insoles but I've heard not to depend on them and as you say -exercise the arch of your feet. But I've not figured out how to do that yet. Is it when your curl your toes up tight till the arch feels a strain? Or the towel method?

I'm 19 and realized a few years ago I have flat feet. And i have never had any foot, knee, ankle pain which I'm grateful for. But I'm only trying to fix it for aesthetics

[@MaZEEZaM]

What I learned as a consequence of wearing a support for a curvature of my spine is exactly what this guy says it will make you weaker and now not wearing the support my back is far worse. Learn from my experience, I also have on flat foot and one knee that curves in as a result. Wear the support while you are walking but when you don't need to be walking much do the exercises regularly and walk bare feet. Otherwise it will get worse. Thanks heaps for this video 😊

Michelle Oller good one

[@EnclaveDesigns]

For those that need an actual fix. DO NOT wear arch supported shoes, supported shoes are what causes your fallen arches in the first place and it will only make it worse. Get yourself some barefoot (minimalist) shoes and only wear those. Get into it slowly because your body will be utilizing many muscles which never got used prior. I suggest you go do your own research into barefoot shoes, as well.

With your foot dig a hole in sand a foot down, use ever part of the foot to dig. In a downward motion use toes, heal to dig. To scoop use top, inner, and outter parts of foot. You will figure differnt combinations and methods on your own. If dont live near a beach. Get a plastic kids swimming pool fill with sand. Add water to sand for grip and resistance. Or just do it dry you pick. (There other elements you could strengthing your foot with mud, small pebbles, snow, beans.) Dig 3 holes with each foot, keep going till you fill a burn. From your core to your foot differnt muscles will engage during the workout. we are our own best teacher.

So, I realize this is old, but I found it helpful to lace my fingers between my toes and stretch out my foot that way. Once I could get my fingers in between my toes without any pain, I realized I could do a lot more with my feet because they were more mobile.

Do you mind making a video on how to help support your heels. I feel that i dnt have enough support on my heels. I can not stand very long or else the middle of my foot to my heels start to hurt and sometimes really gets swollen. Im not sure why. Ive gone to the doctors and they referred me to a specialist. I went to a specialist and they said they could give me a cortizone shot but I was also told that cortizone shots arent good to use. What do you think about that?

[@parkway7]

I have tried the gel insoles but i guess i have to buy the expensive ones because the ones i have bought dont help for a very long time.

[@JC-do6le]

Ahh! So I just found out why my right knee is always messed up when I squat heavier weights.....I had no idea that flat feet would cause bad form for squats....yikes...I'll try out these exercises, hope this works! I also have a little wooden foot roller, would that be a good substitute for the golf ball?

[@VivaLableue]

Really helpful, especially as I'm pregnant now and my feet are feeling doubly tired due to my relaxed ligaments. I do have the issue with knocked knees during squats, and have in fact a slightly torn mcl in my right knee. I do have knee braces, however I found my muscles getting weaker after long term use.. (after a couple of weeks). I feel that my entire lower half is off kilter, so I have to modify exercise in order to not strain myself. My question is, as I'm looking to ease back into my more rigorous exercise routine after delivery, are there more strengthening exercises and stretches I can implement post partum that would help realign my hip-knee-ankle joints?

[@shreyasi_sindgikar]

Yep, my feet are stronger now and no longer flat. The pain I was having is almost completely gone.

My flat feet and knocked knees have always been my biggest insecurity, and now that I'm in my mid-30's, I'm really noticing the painful impacts it's having on the rest of my body, all the way up to my neck and shoulders. I was told I'd need either surgery or just to wear Super-Feet insoles to fix my problems. But after a few years of wearing them, and nothing's changed, I figured there had to be something I could do that wasn't as invasive and ridiculous as surgery. Thank you so much for posting these videos. I'm looking forward to starting these exercises tonight and am excited and hopeful to see and feel results.

[@stephanieanderson3705]

Blake, your videos are really very instructive. Thank you. As you say, wearing orthotics are a double-edged sword. I've had to wear them for years as I can't stand for very long without them (my back starts to ache). I've done all the exercises you show, and roll my feel out on tennis balls in the morning before getting out of bed. Would you recommend trying to walk barefoot for short periods of time if you're doing the foot exercises in an attempt to strengthen your arches? I really never go barefoot, even in my home. Thanks.

[@davsss6406]

One thing that massively helped and is helping me with flat feet is Musculus tibialis anterior training. it is one muscle that hardly mentioned with flat feet issue and exercise aimed just at training base of the foot does not help the actual cause. so i strongly advise training this muscle. theres loads of videos on KZbin on how to do that. good luck!

[@bashgamer5911]

[@sweetroxi23]

Thank you so much for this video! I will definitely add this to my routine. I’ve been suffering from my ankle joints swelling after standing/walking for long periods of time and it’s gotten very difficult to have a normal routine. It gets difficult when exercising because I can’t be at 100% and I fear that I might injure other muscles. And as I’m growing older, I can feel how my flat feet are affecting my lower back and thighs muscles. So again, hopefully these exercises can help me! Thank you!

I'm a cheerleader and runner. When running I find that I get serious pain going from my feet all the way through my shins and up to my knees. It's not that I'm out of shape, I run regularly. But I only find the pain to increase when using a golf ball on my foot.. Also my cheer shoes don't have very good arch support for my poor arches, but I have to wear those shoes specifically. Any suggestions to help my feet when cheering?

[@0217porcelain]

gracie hover these are great exercises to strengthen your arches therefore improving the discomfort up the kinetic chain as he described. if you find the golf ball painful start with the lacrosse ball or even a stiff tennis ball. This ball technique will lengthen the muscles in your feet, and decrease fascial adhesions. There is on big tendon that covers that bottom of your foot called plantar fascia the ball trick helps loosen this up. make sure when you are stretching your legs you are using a straight leg calf stretch (gastroc. muscle) as well as a bent knee calf stretch to get the underlying muscle in your calf (soleus). you can use a rolling pin (I prefer) or a foam roller to help release the tension in your calf muscles. With the type of exercises that you are doing you are may be struggling with some tibialis anterior tension as well (shin area) you can run your thumbs down the muscle tissue just to the outside of your shin (tibia) bone. Any discomfort at the front of your ankle? = tibials anterior. hopefully this helps :-)

[@graciehover7824]

I will definitely try some of these things out, thank you so much(:

[@JasminMiettunen]

+gracie hover there are special shoe inserts that you can put in your cheer shoes to give that arch support:) You can find some in stores, but at least in my country orthopedist can make special ones for your feet, though they can be more expensive.

Hi, I watched your videos and I liked them very much. Very useful information. Thanks. I have a few questions. My son is 13 years old. He has been playing basketball since he was 8 years old. He is a licensed player in the club. He loves basketball and wants to be a professional player in the future. He is also very successful in swimming. His feet are a little slow in basketball. He wants to increase his speed and jump. But there is a flat feet( over pronate) problem. It is not a completely flat sole, but when you lift your foot, a pit is formed and it flattens when you press the ground. As far as I've heard, there is this problem with Useyin Bolt in running and kevin durent in basketball. My question is, does this problem prevent him from running, speeding and jumping? Can this obstacle be overcome? Can he play in the professional basketball league with a flat sole? Should he use insoles that will create a foot pit in his shoes? We would be very happy if you could answer all these questions.

+PurpleRain500 Did it end up working for you? How long did it take?

[@PurpleRain500]

Tuck I'm still working on it, I've been doing them regularly for about 7 months now and I'm beginning to see the results. Especially in my left foot, an arch is beginning to form and should be in by the summer.

I have the opposite problem I think I have a one supinated foot! when i squat, my ankle collapses outward creates a huge arch and my foot rolls to the out side putting all the pressure on the outside. could you make a video about supination/High arches?

[@cooperfritsch3326]

The bottom of my feet near my arches get burning sensations in the muscle while exercising. Although I do have small arches I think it’s related to something else. Any tips or suggestions for what I might have?

[@PrashantKumarInferno]

I have flat feet, and use shoes with arch support everyday for my regular routine. So should i use arch support during gym workout also...???

[@minorking1121]

Most people don't get flat feet because they have too much arch support, generally we get arch support BECAUSE we already have flat feet.

heavy doses of vitamin e during the physical therapy process helps the arches "wake up" and become strong and arched again. 3x daily dose 30 days cycle off for 3 weeks and then again .

Omg can't believe that this is possible the cause the of pelvis titlt and neck and shoulder pain. Can't believe my physios and chiropractors over looked this. So much pain my feet using golf ball especially my left foot. But it's my right side of my body that is tight my right foot more flat right hip is tight and I get pelvic pain on the right side and right shoulder is the one that gets sore and right side of neck although my left side an dleft shoulder are the tightest.

Hey Blake, is it definite that your arch needs stretching when your flat footed ? I find that when i raise my foot and put pressure through my foot i get the feeling of cramp in my arch very quickly.

[@wayneultru795]

i don't get it.. i have really flat feet yet my knees do not knock together...When i squat its straight down. Could my weight be affecting my feet?

[@neffectmusic8484]

They can never be fixed unless you have an operation. There is no exercise that can redevelop an arch. NONE

[@mbowen9o]

Could my flat feet be one of the reasons why my hamstrings aren't flexible? How should I go about fixing that problem?

[@uchihamadara1036]

I born with flat feet, pectus excavatum and overbite teeth..i obviously have a problems with my bone structure 🙃😪

[@johngidney665]

My 7yr old daughter may have cuboid spurs or she may just have flat feet. Will the flat feet exercises be good for cuboid spurs as well?

[@zerovaldez7066]

does having flat feet have anything to do with your im height im supposed to be 6'2 but I measure out at 6'0 3/4?

[@sydneysinclair1239]

I'm cringing at just thinking of rolling my feet..someone told me to use something you can freeze. Does anyone have luck? My feet are so tender that I cry if I do it too much

[@mehdihoseyni6352]

4:25 😳😳😳😳people can move their toes like that 😳😳is it really possible? To me it's like moving your hair, impossible

[@crzyinzan3]

Will this help build a normal arch for someone who was born with flexible flat feet? When my feet are relaxed the arch looks normal but when I stand it’s gone.

[@ahmedsakeena]

What about flat feet due to accessory navicular type 2 syndrome? The shoe support is not helping. Nope. 😐

[@lindaday1248]

Great information. I wonder why chiropodist a do not promote us doing foot exercises??? Yes, I do know why.....

[@purcitron770]

***** very good stuff. but, how will rolling the arch with the ball help reduce flat feet please? arent the feet flat in the first place because the ligament in the arch is too stretched already? thanks!

[@Lepermessiahe3]

my calves were to tight. so the arch couldn't contact. came from elevated heel shoes now wearing barefoot shoes with zero drop daily no foot problems anymore.

[@yonah9983]

is knee video saying that squats are bad for knees (if you have flat feet) without that band? I've been doing them every day for years and I have flat feet

[@valencia4215]

Exercises can help to relieve pain however, it can not "fix" flat feet since pes planus (flat feet) is a result of collapsed small bones in the in and around the navicular.
