![]() ![]() ![]() If there is no pain caused by the flat feet then no immediate treatment is required. An example includes Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction (PTTD) which is a dysfunction of one of the muscles which support the arch of the foot.įlat feet can be caused by genetic disorders, foot injury, obesity, rapid leg growth, too much exercise and traumatic injury to the arch of the foot. This is known as ‘adult acquired flatfoot’ and is usually due to an injury or prolonged stress to the foot. Pes planus may develop from childhood or may only occur later in adult life. This places additional stresses on the ankle, knee, hip and lower back. Over-pronation is where too much pronation occurs, or it occurs too rapidly. This allows the foot to mold to the surface, and absorb shock. The foot rolls inwards naturally and the arch lowers. Pronation is the normal movement of the foot which occurs just after the heel touches the ground when walking. Having flat feet is different from pronation and overpronation. ![]()
