I'm 25. I have flat feet. I have a mixed lifestyle. During normal walks and being idol, I never felt pain. But when I exercise a lot, especially running and jumping, I feel some pain in the arch area. The fact that worries me is my performance level. Because of flat feet, I am unable to reach my full potential.
I’m 16 & ever since I started working I’ve been on my feet all day, I can feel all the pressure coming down on where my foot is supposed to arch and it hurts like HELL☹️
at 20 years old i crushed my foot as a stonemason and im 24 now and i can barely walk it sucks.. heres some ways to treat our feet custom made orthotics, good supportive shoes (im using light joggers with good ankle and arch support), RICE (rest, ice, compress, elevate), healthy diet, steroid injections to the painful area and physio.
I have flat feet and up until I was 13 and became more physically active, they never bothered me. Now the pain can be excruciating in the soles of my feet all the way to my back. Great video, now I understand and what’s up with my feet.
I didnt know that i am flat footed until one of my friends saw my feet and asked me if i am flat footed. She checked my feet and said i am. Now i know why most of the times my ankle, knees and back hurts and my job requires me to stand. Most of the time i almost like dragged my left leg going home because it hurts a lot. Now i know why i am like this.
I have flat feet but trust me you don’t need to go to a doctor and heal it artificially Just wear shoes for flat foot people Take calcium and Vitamin D it helps a lot Train your calves, hamstrings, glutes and thighs. These things reduces pain and I did all these steps for 3 months and now I can do running and skipping without knee or ankle pain.
I’m only 18 and I have flat feet. I stand at work all day plus I like to run. So, I’m in constant pain. My knees and feet ache after every shift and idk what to do 🤡
Moose_Squirrel_Colombo I’m 320 pounds only my hell’s hurt. I’m guessing that’s where all my weight goes towards at. My legs will only hurt if I walk a lot of work them out.
My whole family has perfectly shaped arches my dad, mom, everybody But for some fucking reason i got cursed with flat feet especially when im a Highschool athlete standing at 6 feet tall 192 lbs it hurts like shit
@@pisswaer2473it’s random I guess. My mom and sister have arches in their foot . Me not so lucky, good thing they made soles for shoes cause I notice a major difference but not everyone has the same experience hope you can find your little peace of mind.

I’m a dancer with flat foot. I have sprained both of my arches and after months of healing they still hurt. No matter what shoes I wear they always hurt. I hate flat foot!
I’ve played sports growing up, and I suffered a few ankle sprains and fractures while being flat foot. Never was bothered by any pain until the past few months. Feels like I’m being stabbed in the foot no 🧢

i have flexible flat feet 22 years old and i observed it last year while watching a army recruitment video , the thing is i don't feel pain yet , i have a type of flat feet called flexible flat feet i.e. they flatten while i stand but they form arch when i stand on my heels and when i pushes my toes outwards
I have flat feet, and I don't hurt it from walking and running at all. In fact, my feet don't hurt but my body does. My joints in the whole body make noises and my elbow joints, shoulders and my right knee inflame from time to time. I also have poor posture.
I have flat feet and no arches. My knees are also curved inwards. People always mock me for who I walk, but it's because walking is painful for me. I never knew that a podiatrist was a thing, but I have an appointment coming up with one. Thank god, because my feet, knees, ankles and lower legs are always in pain

i’ve had flat feet since 5th grade and now i’m a 9th grader. we tried orthotics and none of my orthotics have helped. i haven’t been to my orthopedic for months now bc my pain started going away so i stopped caring. both of my feet still hurt everyday my ankle hurts, my knee hurts, and so do my hips.

you are not dumb :) i kept working til i could barely stand up at all lol, we tend to think we are invincible at a young age is all, oh well we live and we learn
I’m a pretty young guy, fresh outta HighSchool and 18. I’ve always had flat feet, and it didn’t start hurting until I actually started to get into sports at a young age (I used to be pretty fat as a kid and it only ever hurt after very long or explosive/intense training sessions). Is the pain supposed to feel like a cramped foot? When I reached the end of middle school, the pain went away. I’m pretty athletic and I’m still self training to this day with no pain since I was young. I was wondering if I simply just conditioned the pain away or what? I’m still a little confused on the idea because I know a lot of people my age with flat feet, some claiming for it to hurt, and some not. So what’s the deal exactly? Really curious now.
I know your comment is three years old but it’s crazy how we can be 18 or 20 and be working hard at the gym (for sports or whatever) and then suddenly we feel different. This flat foot condition makes me feel 80!
I used to have flat feet all my life up until around 16. I starting playing soccer and after a year or so my arch corrected naturally from playing soccer but, I stoped playing and now im 21 and my left arch is starting to lose its arch but right is perfect. I notice in the gym that my left arch broke down whenever I did any type of squat and it’s affecting all my left side of my body. I’m doing my own rehab on it right now to fix it. There’s no need to go to a doctor for flat feet you can fix it yourself just takes time and a lot of work but it’ll be worth it in the long run.
I dropped heavy shiz on my foot years ago and then sprained it last year and now that foot is flat. So annoying to have 1 perfect and 1 messed up foot.
how does a person with flexible flat feet affects their daily life and social activities and i wanted to start running dancing and play sports but afraid of flat feet problems
Im a chef, ive had flat feet from the age of 10 but my doctor said it wasnt too bad and to watch it... Well, im 18 now and have to get orthopedic shoes... Im a chef and work 7am-6pm... Sometimes later. I get a one hour break but by the end of the day im in excruciating pain. Im good until im not good. During the drive home im good but when i try to walk my feet are so bad i have to stop myself from dropping to the ground... I also have hip impingements in both hips so... YAY
i am born with wide feet already, and to complicate the matter, in my childhood and teens i was obese and that gave me flat feet. now that i am fit, the feet remain flat and wide, it's not really painful yet, but i can't wear nice shoes and fancy sneakers that i like for a long time since they become a stomped mess after two weeks. i really wish my feet was narrow and i controlled my food habits when i was a child
I’m in Canada, I noticed my youngest daughter always fell tripping over her feet? So naturally I took her to a foot doctor; she than got a shoe insert, dr. Noticed how I walk so I also needed my feet to be corrected. So because I can only get a insert once every five years and after two years it’s completely worn out ( the insert) so my ankle pain has returned with a vengeance, I can hardly walk I’m in so much pain. Now me purchasing cheap shoes does not help my situation because I notice my feet are slanting on an angle going inward. I’m not sure why I’m telling u all this; guessing I’m hoping of anything I can correct this issue on my own or at least to ease my pain without any kind of medication which I will not accept. I love hiking, biking, canoeing basically anything outside, if anyone would look pAst my female characteristics I work hard physically labor. I can get an interview but never beyond that.
Iam 15 and I didn't have any problem with my flat foot But the problem is my left leg got twisted from.the inside and my foot bends more tha. It usually did and that's a big problem because my right leg is only support for my left completely and I cant run or anything and it gets worse so yeah after covid maybe I will have to vist a docor And iam moving yo Canada after a few months
My family always used to annoy me about wearing cushioned flip flops in the house and I would just brush it off but now I know why they did it. Ive been walking barefoot around the house and on the hardwood floor for years now and now my foot has become completely flat and not only that but I get ankle, knee, hip and back pain. I should have listened.
I was born with flat feet (good thing I didn't become a cop, lol). I have insoles in my sneakers that I wear everywhere I go (unless I'm wearing sandles) and I do walk alot everyday. I still play sports, even though I can't run very far (you won't be seeing me running a triathlon any time soon).
I’m 22 and my right foot hurts soo bad and the stupid nhs won’t do nothing they keep telling me to do these stupid massage sessions but it just does not work I know I need that pain injection thing for my foot.
im 23 and have been going through the same trouble i soon realised we can't solely rely on doctors because some are just after $$ so i done the research myself - custom made orthotics, good supportive shoes (im using light joggers with good ankle and arch support), RICE (rest, ice, compress, elevate), healthy diet, steroid injections to the painful area and physio will all contribute to having better foot health
I have flat feet and a terrible tendency to roll/sprain my ancles, mostly the left one. It's happened so many times now that whenever I roll my ancles, it does not hurt anymore and I just walk it off. Sure, I might feel some stiffness for a few hours but never anything major.
I have flat feet the crazy thing is I never realised until my daughter who was14 at the time said to my wife and I that she has flat feet. I Checked and astonishingly I had it too. I never felt and discomfort or pain around feet in fact I was a long distance runner, I walked a hell of a lot. Here in London UK, we have fabulous transport but I always chose to walk... I still am shocked bot for myself but my 2 daughters who both like me have it...
Growing up people told me that walking made me feel pain faster because I was lazy. I also thought that I was told that I walked weird because I was autistic or something. Now I need arch support.
We gotta think of it this way you would rather have flat feet than have no feet like some people out there in this world, there is always someone out there who has more pain than u so we should be grateful for what we have.
nobody's life can be compared. that is a ignorant and simple minded outlook... it's better to say your situation can be worse in general, without throwing a random person into it...
When I asked my doctor if my flat feet was causing my posture and shoulders to feel off, she said no. It's all connected but she doesn't think it's coming from my feet. Like I feel like that's not true
yeah, flat feet puts more pressure on your feet. i sometimes would underperform at a physical job requiring heavy lifting, when i just have flat feet that cause more pain.
Interesting!! I have flat feet too, and usually to relieve some pain, i like to press the middle of my feet against pointed edge of a small square or rectangle table.... now wondering if i need this too or massage therapy!
I am born with flat feet .... My family thinks I am lazy for avoiding exercises but honestly even walking hurts so much , I can't seem to do anything I love ... Badminton? Had to leave it because knee pain... classical dance? Had to leave it because my knees and back hurt like hell. Football ? Had to leave that too because Knee pains .... it sucks tbh
Same problem with me bro, they always yell at me to go do exercise and give me examples of athletes but they never understand the pain I m going through, whenever I start doing exercises my feet couldn't resist the pressure 🥺
gosh i just realized that i have this condition at 23.. it's almost like shattered bones being held up together tightly..and you have to walk have to.. I've been complaining about my feet since i was a kid and people were like, it's because you're heavy.. even though i was athletic and not overweight at all it still hurts? thought i was just being childish for complaining because i'm young but can't walk or stand for a long period of time..so i svck it up for years until my friend pointed it out..
.... Having flat feel hinders your performance even walking. You body is all connected. That means flat feet might affect upper body movements and It must cause injuries. Therefore, It should be corrected to save your body. If you had tight planter fascia, you should stretch it gently and consistently so that you can make arch easily. Standing on a dumbbell grip should be helpful to stretch your sore. Flat feet causes your low back and knees. Because, If you can't maintain arch, keeping tension on your core should be difficult. Knee valgus can occur due to flat feet. If you were to cave your knees when you squat, What you need to do should decrease weight and lift. There are many ways that you can make your flat feet better. Practicing arch before you work out must be done to avoid injuries. And, If you enjoy Olympic lifting, It makes you want to fix your arch. Because, fixing flat feet is mandatory to lift heavy. Using a gear prevents you from hurting your joints and low back when you squat. Because, It maintains tension on your core If your arch collapses when you squat. Therefore, squatting heavy with flat feet must cause many problems. You should start practicing arch frequently and use gears to prevent injuries and improve efficiency of workout.
...... Flat feet bothers all you do. Your body is a chain. If you had flat feet, your joints and bones should be stressed when you walk, run, squat etc. It rotates your legs internally and hinders to absorb force from the ground. Planter fascia is a bend on your feet. It consists of 3 bends which are medial, lateral, and central. If you had flat feet, It must be tightened. So, you need to deal with it. Flat feet happens due to many variables. If you stand a lot and don't exercise, your arch must collapse. If you run fast, your planter fascia can be damaged and you may have pain on your knees and other parts. Your arch allows you to absorb from landing. You will have knee surgery If you run and jump with flat feet. It takes at least many months to create enough arch. Increasing ankle dorsiflexion and massaging your feet might help you to make your arch better. And If you enjoy Olympic lifting for many years, your arch might be better. However, lifting heavy weight shouldn't be nice for your legs. Therefore, you need to listen to your body and find out how to enjoy lifting. If you don't know how to fix flat feet, hiring a specialist should be beneficial. However, there are a lot of false teachers who know nothing and pretend to know it. If his solutions don't work, It is time to change your coach.
im 24 with flat feet had it since i was a kid, i dont feel pain in my feet when i go for long walks/runs its always the right side of my hip that hurts alot and makes a loud pop noise with every step over time
I have flat feet , I used to go to the foot clinic if N.Y. in Harlem to have arch supports made . They named my kind of flat footedness the banana peel. I am still flat footed but I suffer with hip back knee and ankle pain daily. I have been to the Mt. Sanai about this pain and they found nothing except gas in the sacrum . Could my over all pain be because of my flat feet ?
Is it true that if you use orhtopädic insoles your muscles in your feet get even more "lazy" and everything gets worse? And that you are supposed to train the muscles in order to fix it as the only longlasting solution?
I actually have flat feet! I can’t run actually or walk for to long plus shoes are very comfortable but we are looking into it because it’s been happening randomly.
It’s weird when I use a fan I usually put the air on my feet and put a pillow between them as well after a da of work it feels nice for some reason I’m going to be 29 and my flat feet feel like it’s slowly causing me pain up my legs and I’ve had major lower and mid back pain also think it caused me to be off balanced I really think I need to go in and see a Dr ?..
not weird, having your feet up reduces swelling, your feet are swollen from being on them all day at work so the cold air from the fan is giving a sense of relief, try icing it instead for 15 mins
I have severe flat feet and I’m only 18. I can barely walk around for 5 mins without my knees and feet hurting really bad like someone is stabbing me. Then it starts to throb and hurt more. Ice doesn’t help over the counter medications don’t help, physical therapy doesn’t help neither does surgery. So wow life really sucks for me
Yo, man, I think I can help. Buy orthodontics and feel the difference. I am 17 and I went to The Heel. They offered me a set of 3 insoles: the strengthener, the exerciser, and the relaxer. The strengthener is a thicker insole designed to apply force to the arch of your foot. They are meant to be worn when almost all the time, supporting your foot as well as making it stronger. They may feel a bit uncomfortable at first, but you will adjust to them quickly. I had a lot of lower back pain due to my flat foot and bigger build. But, immediately when I put on these strengtheners, my back relaxed. Second, the exerciser: an insole with average insole used primarily for what the name states. A thinner, yet seemingly stronger insole than the strengthener, the exerciser gives you the needed support for the pressure changes when running. They are comfortable to a point where you don't notice the insoles being in your shoes. I play basketball and football and since sophomore year I have been using the exercisers for practices, games, workouts, etc. They have drastically improved my athleticism, by means of allowing myself to be more active for longer without the constant pain of working my feet too hard. I wish I would've had these insoles back in 5th grade, what a difference they would've made. Finally, the relaxers: the thinnest insole of the set and maybe the most comfortable. The relaxer is used for the end of the day, after the long, hard days on your feet. The relaxers are for your feet recovery while also keeping the progress you gained. I recommend getting a pair of night shoes; moccasins, slippers, etc. You would just need to keep the insoles in the night wear to give your feet a break from the day. Sorry for the long response, but I truly believe this can help you. If you have any questions about the above, just give me a reply.
@@harrybthyname_ Insoles don't strengthen you feet, they mask the weakness. I had flat feet but have been strengthening them ever since I received custom orthotics because I felt they were bullshit, I now have an arch and can do anything I want without my arch collapsing. Applying upwards pressure turns off your foot musculature, primarily in the arch. Again, check out r/FootFunction and r/BarefootRunning for more info.
Harry Bowman I literally just got orthotics three weeks ago lol yes they’ve helped me walk but I’m still having problems walking and i don’t know why but no matter what I can’t gain muscles in my legs like their dead cells. I’m thinking about stem cell
Maybe. Only about half of people with flat feet experience symptoms. But I have to say when I was a teen the issue wasn't nearly as bad as it is in my 20's. Now if I walk long enough the pain can get so bad in back and legs that it is hard to walk.
i have flat feet and whenever i walk for a long time it tends to hurt
Same here

I have it too I feel it causes my spine some pain.
I used to but I noticed the more and more I worked out it just kinda stopped. Now I can run 6 miles a day with no pain at all.
I feel you. When I did high jump I had horrible foot pain by the end. And when I go walking for a distance without orthotics I have a similar pain
I know how that feels. I recently got into boxing and little did I know how much pain the footwork cause.

yeah to me it feels like a cramp by where the arch is suppose to be
The pain tends to be when you have overpronation (which I have “ I recommend getting the hypocure treatment im about to thru thag procedure in 2 weeks
I know your comment is three years old but it’s crazy how we can be 18 or 20 and be working hard at the gym (for sports or whatever) and then suddenly we feel different. This flat foot condition makes me feel 80!
Weight loss makes a difference too
i was born with flat feet, but it starts to annoy me because it affects my balance when i squat
I had surgery for flat feet, bunion, and just more reconstruction
AlexNOSAM really? There is a lot of surgery’s
How’s the healing process? I hear it takes up to 6 months to a year.
Jose B. Yes that is true
did you use a wheelchair in order to move after the surgery? If so, for how long? I would really appreciate if you would reply
hamid baroudi I used a scooter I ordered off amazon. I used it for 6-8 weeks
I used to have flat feet all my life up until around 16. I starting playing soccer and after a year or so my arch corrected naturally from playing soccer but, I stoped playing and now im 21 and my left arch is starting to lose its arch but right is perfect. I notice in the gym that my left arch broke down whenever I did any type of squat and it’s affecting all my left side of my body. I’m doing my own rehab on it right now to fix it. There’s no need to go to a doctor for flat feet you can fix it yourself just takes time and a lot of work but it’ll be worth it in the long run.
Zack you have some tips buddy?
Bro what exercises can fix it? 😭
I dropped heavy shiz on my foot years ago and then sprained it last year and now that foot is flat. So annoying to have 1 perfect and 1 messed up foot.
how does a person with flexible flat feet affects their daily life and social activities and i wanted to start running dancing and play sports but afraid of flat feet problems
Im a chef, ive had flat feet from the age of 10 but my doctor said it wasnt too bad and to watch it...
Well, im 18 now and have to get orthopedic shoes...
Im a chef and work 7am-6pm... Sometimes later. I get a one hour break but by the end of the day im in excruciating pain. Im good until im not good.
During the drive home im good but when i try to walk my feet are so bad i have to stop myself from dropping to the ground...
I also have hip impingements in both hips so... YAY
i am born with wide feet already, and to complicate the matter, in my childhood and teens i was obese and that gave me flat feet. now that i am fit, the feet remain flat and wide, it's not really painful yet, but i can't wear nice shoes and fancy sneakers that i like for a long time since they become a stomped mess after two weeks. i really wish my feet was narrow and i controlled my food habits when i was a child
I’m in Canada, I noticed my youngest daughter always fell tripping over her feet? So naturally I took her to a foot doctor; she than got a shoe insert, dr. Noticed how I walk so I also needed my feet to be corrected. So because I can only get a insert once every five years and after two years it’s completely worn out ( the insert) so my ankle pain has returned with a vengeance, I can hardly walk I’m in so much pain. Now me purchasing cheap shoes does not help my situation because I notice my feet are slanting on an angle going inward. I’m not sure why I’m telling u all this; guessing I’m hoping of anything I can correct this issue on my own or at least to ease my pain without any kind of medication which I will not accept. I love hiking, biking, canoeing basically anything outside, if anyone would look pAst my female characteristics I work hard physically labor. I can get an interview but never beyond that.
Iam 15 and I didn't have any problem with my flat foot
But the problem is my left leg got twisted from.the inside and my foot bends more tha. It usually did and that's a big problem because my right leg is only support for my left completely and I cant run or anything and it gets worse so yeah after covid maybe I will have to vist a docor
And iam moving yo Canada after a few months
I don't even have flat feet why was this recommended to me
My family always used to annoy me about wearing cushioned flip flops in the house and I would just brush it off but now I know why they did it. Ive been walking barefoot around the house and on the hardwood floor for years now and now my foot has become completely flat and not only that but I get ankle, knee, hip and back pain. I should have listened.
I have flat feet too, my doctor recommended me to buy insoles for flat feet
I was born with flat feet (good thing I didn't become a cop, lol). I have insoles in my sneakers that I wear everywhere I go (unless I'm wearing sandles) and I do walk alot everyday. I still play sports, even though I can't run very far (you won't be seeing me running a triathlon any time soon).
I’m 22 and my right foot hurts soo bad and the stupid nhs won’t do nothing they keep telling me to do these stupid massage sessions but it just does not work I know I need that pain injection thing for my foot.
im 23 and have been going through the same trouble i soon realised we can't solely rely on doctors because some are just after $$ so i done the research myself - custom made orthotics, good supportive shoes (im using light joggers with good ankle and arch support), RICE (rest, ice, compress, elevate), healthy diet, steroid injections to the painful area and physio will all contribute to having better foot health
I have flat feet and a terrible tendency to roll/sprain my ancles, mostly the left one. It's happened so many times now that whenever I roll my ancles, it does not hurt anymore and I just walk it off. Sure, I might feel some stiffness for a few hours but never anything major.
I was born with flat feet so right now I am 13 and my ankle practically joys the floor. So I am getting a surgery on my foot in the summer.
M A D D I E good luck 👍
Remember surgery can do worse
I have flat feet the crazy thing is I never realised until my daughter who was14 at the time said to my wife and I that she has flat feet. I
Checked and astonishingly I had it too.
I never felt and discomfort or pain around feet in fact I was a long distance runner, I walked a hell of a lot. Here in London UK, we have fabulous transport but I always chose to walk...
I still am shocked bot for myself but my 2 daughters who both like me have it...
Growing up people told me that walking made me feel pain faster because I was lazy. I also thought that I was told that I walked weird because I was autistic or something.
Now I need arch support.
they have no idea about the pain
How much does it take to fix a flat feet? Will it take years?
We gotta think of it this way you would rather have flat feet than have no feet like some people out there in this world, there is always someone out there who has more pain than u so we should be grateful for what we have.
nobody's life can be compared. that is a ignorant and simple minded outlook... it's better to say your situation can be worse in general, without throwing a random person into it...
When I asked my doctor if my flat feet was causing my posture and shoulders to feel off, she said no. It's all connected but she doesn't think it's coming from my feet. Like I feel like that's not true
yeah, flat feet puts more pressure on your feet. i sometimes would underperform at a physical job requiring heavy lifting, when i just have flat feet that cause more pain.
Is this why my body leans forward like Goku instead of straight?
I have flat feet and I play football 🏈 so my feet be hurting every practice/game
Same I just got used to it every once in a while it hurts specially when I get hit for the first time of the season
I’m flat footed with a bunion I’ve had pay for as long as I can remeber I’m 24 and I’ve seen some drs but never got much help now it’s time
I have flat feet, and I hope squating a lot helps. I'm practicing a russian dance called the squat kick or kazotsky kick.
I have flat feet, and I had a track meet and oh boy did that kill me everyday after track meet
Interesting!! I have flat feet too, and usually to relieve some pain, i like to press the middle of my feet against pointed edge of a small square or rectangle table.... now wondering if i need this too or massage therapy!
Purchase Orly Vernis nail lacquer, make a small line under your feet. Some breathing issue may occur.
Watching this gave me foot pain😭😭😭
I have flat feet and so far it’s not causing any problems but I’m young so that might change...
Does anyone elses feet hurt more when they wear arch support insoles?
Flat feet are literally a nightmare for me 😮
Hi! What do you think about "Calcaneo-stop" and senotarsal endorthesis? In Italy it is a common surgery for flat feet.
I am born with flat feet ....
My family thinks I am lazy for avoiding exercises but honestly even walking hurts so much , I can't seem to do anything I love ...
Badminton? Had to leave it because knee pain... classical dance? Had to leave it because my knees and back hurt like hell. Football ? Had to leave that too because Knee pains ....
it sucks tbh
Same problem with me bro, they always yell at me to go do exercise and give me examples of athletes but they never understand the pain I m going through, whenever I start doing exercises my feet couldn't resist the pressure 🥺
I also left sports because of this problem I was very passionate for cricket but fate 😞
gosh i just realized that i have this condition at 23.. it's almost like shattered bones being held up together tightly..and you have to walk have to..
I've been complaining about my feet since i was a kid and people were like, it's because you're heavy.. even though i was athletic and not overweight at all it still hurts?
thought i was just being childish for complaining because i'm young but can't walk or stand for a long period of time..so i svck it up for years until my friend pointed it out..
....
Having flat feel hinders your performance even walking. You body is all connected. That means flat feet might affect upper body movements and It must cause injuries. Therefore, It should be corrected to save your body.
If you had tight planter fascia, you should stretch it gently and consistently so that you can make arch easily. Standing on a dumbbell grip should be helpful to stretch your sore.
Flat feet causes your low back and knees. Because, If you can't maintain arch, keeping tension on your core should be difficult. Knee valgus can occur due to flat feet. If you were to cave your knees when you squat, What you need to do should decrease weight and lift.
There are many ways that you can make your flat feet better. Practicing arch before you work out must be done to avoid injuries. And, If you enjoy Olympic lifting, It makes you want to fix your arch. Because, fixing flat feet is mandatory to lift heavy.
Using a gear prevents you from hurting your joints and low back when you squat. Because, It maintains tension on your core If your arch collapses when you squat.
Therefore, squatting heavy with flat feet must cause many problems. You should start practicing arch frequently and use gears to prevent injuries and improve efficiency of workout.
im 30 with flat feet, and i've never had a health issue... just fat shoes, how do i get rid of that?
Dang I’m 13 and my knees hurt easily already
I've had flat feet for 25 years. I had no idea this was something considered fixable.
......
Flat feet bothers all you do. Your body is a chain. If you had flat feet, your joints and bones should be stressed when you walk, run, squat etc. It rotates your legs internally and hinders to absorb force from the ground.
Planter fascia is a bend on your feet. It consists of 3 bends which are medial, lateral, and central. If you had flat feet, It must be tightened. So, you need to deal with it.
Flat feet happens due to many variables. If you stand a lot and don't exercise, your arch must collapse. If you run fast, your planter fascia can be damaged and you may have pain on your knees and other parts. Your arch allows you to absorb from landing. You will have knee surgery If you run and jump with flat feet.
It takes at least many months to create enough arch. Increasing ankle dorsiflexion and massaging your feet might help you to make your arch better. And If you enjoy Olympic lifting for many years, your arch might be better. However, lifting heavy weight shouldn't be nice for your legs. Therefore, you need to listen to your body and find out how to enjoy lifting.
If you don't know how to fix flat feet, hiring a specialist should be beneficial. However, there are a lot of false teachers who know nothing and pretend to know it. If his solutions don't work, It is time to change your coach.
I have flat feet and my only problem is that the bottom of my shoes get worn out quick.
thanks dr for such a gr8 info.... i also have flat feet and i am treating for it d arch is improving....
My brother had surgery on both his feet due to severe flat feet!
im 24 with flat feet had it since i was a kid, i dont feel pain in my feet when i go for long walks/runs its always the right side of my hip that hurts alot and makes a loud pop noise with every step over time
My feet never hurt, just my knees feel sore.
I have flat feet and I’m always picking and peeling off blisters and relentless itching
I have flat feet , I used to go to the foot clinic if N.Y. in Harlem to have arch supports made . They named my kind of flat footedness the banana peel. I am still flat footed but I suffer with hip back knee and ankle pain daily. I have been to the Mt. Sanai about this pain and they found nothing except gas in the sacrum . Could my over all pain be because of my flat feet ?
19 and I got this man my dad was like yea your knees are caving in and when I run that shit hurts soooo bad
I am flat footed and I am also a competitive rower but I do have trouble using as much power as I should be able to because of my feet
I was born flat feet and due to Flat Feet I was rejected in NCC Recruitment and Also in Many Sports team.
Is it true that if you use orhtopädic insoles your muscles in your feet get even more "lazy" and everything gets worse? And that you are supposed to train the muscles in order to fix it as the only longlasting solution?
I have flat feet but it causes me severe pain in my ankles
I actually have flat feet! I can’t run actually or walk for to long plus shoes are very comfortable but we are looking into it because it’s been happening randomly.
It’s weird when I use a fan I usually put the air on my feet and put a pillow between them as well after a da of work it feels nice for some reason I’m going to be 29 and my flat feet feel like it’s slowly causing me pain up my legs and I’ve had major lower and mid back pain also think it caused me to be off balanced I really think I need to go in and see a Dr ?..
not weird, having your feet up reduces swelling,
your feet are swollen from being on them all day at work so the cold air from the fan is giving a sense of relief, try icing it instead for 15 mins
I have severe flat feet and I’m only 18. I can barely walk around for 5 mins without my knees and feet hurting really bad like someone is stabbing me. Then it starts to throb and hurt more. Ice doesn’t help over the counter medications don’t help, physical therapy doesn’t help neither does surgery. So wow life really sucks for me
And I’m 6’4 so makes it worse
@@jacobgelencser5521 Check out r/FootFunction on reddit. Ask for an evaluation.
Yo, man, I think I can help. Buy orthodontics and feel the difference. I am 17 and I went to The Heel. They offered me a set of 3 insoles: the strengthener, the exerciser, and the relaxer. The strengthener is a thicker insole designed to apply force to the arch of your foot. They are meant to be worn when almost all the time, supporting your foot as well as making it stronger. They may feel a bit uncomfortable at first, but you will adjust to them quickly. I had a lot of lower back pain due to my flat foot and bigger build. But, immediately when I put on these strengtheners, my back relaxed. Second, the exerciser: an insole with average insole used primarily for what the name states. A thinner, yet seemingly stronger insole than the strengthener, the exerciser gives you the needed support for the pressure changes when running. They are comfortable to a point where you don't notice the insoles being in your shoes. I play basketball and football and since sophomore year I have been using the exercisers for practices, games, workouts, etc. They have drastically improved my athleticism, by means of allowing myself to be more active for longer without the constant pain of working my feet too hard. I wish I would've had these insoles back in 5th grade, what a difference they would've made. Finally, the relaxers: the thinnest insole of the set and maybe the most comfortable. The relaxer is used for the end of the day, after the long, hard days on your feet. The relaxers are for your feet recovery while also keeping the progress you gained. I recommend getting a pair of night shoes; moccasins, slippers, etc. You would just need to keep the insoles in the night wear to give your feet a break from the day. Sorry for the long response, but I truly believe this can help you. If you have any questions about the above, just give me a reply.
@@harrybthyname_ Insoles don't strengthen you feet, they mask the weakness. I had flat feet but have been strengthening them ever since I received custom orthotics because I felt they were bullshit, I now have an arch and can do anything I want without my arch collapsing. Applying upwards pressure turns off your foot musculature, primarily in the arch. Again, check out r/FootFunction and r/BarefootRunning for more info.
Harry Bowman I literally just got orthotics three weeks ago lol yes they’ve helped me walk but I’m still having problems walking and i don’t know why but no matter what I can’t gain muscles in my legs like their dead cells. I’m thinking about stem cell
I was born with flat feet and I have the hardest time finding shoes that are comfortable for me. Most shoes are built for people with arches.
Which is bad. Look at shoes with a zero degree drop in the heel
Is it just me, but I have flat feet but there is no pain..
Its gonna hurt us when we are older
i am 22 and i have flexible flat feet but no symptom of it yet , will it develop it later on ??
Maybe. Only about half of people with flat feet experience symptoms. But I have to say when I was a teen the issue wasn't nearly as bad as it is in my 20's. Now if I walk long enough the pain can get so bad in back and legs that it is hard to walk.
