Flat Feet

Think you might have flat feet? Not sure if you should be concerned? Flat feet can be very problematic for both children and adults. 

Many people don't realise they have flat feet. Problems which can be caused by flat feet include:

  • Collapsing of the arch-osteoarthritis in the feet and ankles

  • tendonitis or tendon rupture

  • foot pain and injuries

  • back pain

There are too many painful foot conditions to completely list here!

Flat feet can be cause for concern even if you are not currently having pain. It is also not always considered normal for children to have flat feet. If you have or suspect you might have flat feet it is a good idea to see a Podiatrist.

At your appointment our podiatrist will take a thorough history, including your family foot history as flat feet are often inherited. We will assess your joints and muscles, assess your posture and walking pattern and advise you on appropriate treatment to help keep you active for life.

Case Study: Thomas’s Mother Chelsea was worried about Thomas’s feet

Thomas was walking over on the side of his foot, his Mum Chelsea wanted to fix the problem
before it was too late. He is walking so much better now. 

Case study: Adam didn’t want to become one of those old men with a walking stick, hobbling down the street

Adam came to see us as he had flat feet. He had some hip pain when he ran and he was worried about what damage his flat feet were doing and the repercussions when he gets older. He didn’t want to become one of those old men using a walking stick. He also feared getting weaker as he got older as he knew that his feet and legs weren’t aligned properly. He put up with it his hip pain for a while then decided to come and see us. We assessed him walking and running and assessed his feet ankles, knees and hips. Now thanks to his orthotics that balance his flat feet he can run without pain, go up and down stairs without pain and he has the best chance at preventing future problems.
