Is One Foot Flatter than the Other?!?

One Foot is flatter than the other
Most clients I have helped have this imbalance.
One arch may be lower because of strength imbalances, between the two feet.
In our daily life, we engage in habits, through circumstance that require
favoring one leg/foot over the other.
Once you identify what habits or injury has caused the imbalance
you can take steps to strengthen the flatter foot.
Resistance training is the fastest way to regain balance between the limbs.
1) Start all your resistance training exercises with the weak side and then match those reps on your dominant side.
Resistance training is vital, to speed the development of the laggard foot/leg.
The flatter side is the weaker side, so once that side is tired or you lose the mind/muscle connection, you should stop immediately.
This process is tedious and takes many weeks to months, to catch up for years of ingrained imbalance.

Thanks 🙏 just what I needed

[@hhhhhhhhhh1919]

wow when you said left foot i was like 😧

[@0Kylieee0]

Thank you for sharing this! I thought I was the only one with this and was freaking out googling lol

[@stevenc.watkinsmba527]

Wow! This is very information. I did not think that driving caused the flat feet. It does make sense now.

[@GrownandHealthy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@WayneChapin]

Very interesting . Thank you!

[@GrownandHealthy]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@OreMan]

Interesting video, I hadn't thought about that at all before. I also drive barefoot almost always, but I guess I don't drive sooo much as for it to cause any problems. Anyways, thanks for the video! 👍

[@fredsuper20]

Make a video on how to treat Morton’s toe please!

[@flammaxdd9627]

I'm kinda weird with a right foot significantly flatter than my left. My left foot doesn't have a bunion, either. Hoping to fix it with exercise with due time

[@Jim-yk1ug]

Same mine is flatter from skateboarding

[@exorxist4586]

i have very rigid arches, and it is my left foot which is flatter but the thing is i don't drive and im right foot dominant lol

[@Greenwitch_Garden]

It’s my right foot that’s fallen… You’d think it would be stronger. I drive with my right foot. But I need to fix this imbalance.

[@caleb1183]

Could my right foot be flatter because my left foot is my planting foot when jumping for basketball?

[@toby9999]

I drove manual cars for 40 years so both feet got a workout, but my right foot flattens some due to an old plantar fasciitis injury. Seems to be no cure.

[@TheChosen1too]

When you said left foot I felt like you were talking to me personally 😩

[@Life_42]

What type of shoes do you use for flat feet? I have been using wide shoes and a size larger to feel comfterable

[@GrownandHealthy]

I have reviews on this channel for the best I have found.

[@Life_42]

@@GrownandHealthy Thank you sir!

[@reginaldbeard2492]

Is the problem reversed in Europe?

[@187murda3]

What kind of shoes are those on your feet in the beginning of the video?

[@GrownandHealthy]

Vivobarefoot Ultra III, this colorway has been discontinued.

[@earlybird107]

I can’t do a calf raise on my left foot . I figured I could do single calf raises till my left foot gets stronger

[@michaelbrown3691]

I have a bad imbalance with my psoas major. One shortened and extremely tight on my right side, and I flat foot on my right, could this be causing my arch to collapse. It would be great to hear your opinion

[@louisfrancais8592]

It's a malédiction we have man

[@blackrose8554]

I've only driven for about 30 hours and it was a manual... so I'd have been using both feet

[@GrownandHealthy]

Manuals allow for practice.. but are rare these days.

[@blackrose8554]

@@GrownandHealthy I'm more of a fan of manuals, but to be honest even then, you're still using the right foot a fair bit more.

[@ryanthompson3446]

Any thoughts as to why todd martin is so anti forefoot walking?

[@GrownandHealthy]

I have know clue about him, I will do some research.

[@KallutoZoldyck]

This wouldn't be a problem for a routine resting squat user.

[@GrownandHealthy]

No, it shouldn't. Practice in a resting squat should help to balance your mobility.

[@Jim-yk1ug]

My right knee is knocked and my right foot is flat from the way I used to skateboard

[@GrownandHealthy]

Yes, our patterns can place us in imbalance.

[@imanueljoseph672]

Im starting to brush my theet with left hand

[@kyhxx]

. etc- he knew it was our lft foot. sold-

[@jabbersneeze2399]

Try driving stick for 6 years....the results are
