The common practice for flat feet is to stand. Tiptoes, because when the toes stand, the back heel does not turn outwards, so it can be corrected.
Flat feet can be congenital or acquired. Children’s arches are often formed at the age of 4 to 6, and most children and adolescents have flat feet congenital. Adult flat feet can be the continuation of children’s flat feet, or it may be caused by other reasons that lead to the collapse of the arch. Symptomatic adults with secondary flat feet are called adult acquired flat feet. There are many reasons for secondary arch collapse, such as joint degeneration, trauma, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, neuropathy, tumor, and posterior tibial tendon insufficiency.
Suggestion: Perform functional exercises for the internal and external muscles of the foot, such as foot plantar walking, plantar flexion exercises, and heel-raising exercises. At the same time, choosing shoes with good arch support and avoiding standing for too long have certain significance for the prevention of flat feet.
