this is the best intro song i have seen online yet.
I agree!
My feet are so flat they could pass as pancakes
Excellent Video! Forgive me for butting in, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you thought about - Mackorny Feet Ahead Blueprint (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a good exclusive product for Relieving foot pain minus the hard work. Ive heard some decent things about it and my good mate called Gray after many years got astronomical success with it.

That’s what I’m talkin about my feet are flat as shit
I've had to use a can since I was 24 my feet have fucked my knees, hips and back so bad. Even orthotics from the doctor and motion control shoes haven't fixed it. In fact my feet pronate so much they destroy boots made for builders with reinforced heels and steel shanks and the inside of my heels are worn to a 45 degree angle. I'm lucky if a pair lasts a few months. I also have extremely painful bunions. I was offered surgery as a 7 or 8 year old but didn't understand enough about how my feet would affect me to make that call and can't do it now as my disability was taken away and I can't not work for months to recover.
I get painful knees due to what I presume is flat feet. My knees hurt nearly every day and I’m 25 years old.
Me too. How's everything? Im at bed with a horrible knee pain
@@taty_h2h486 I have used a walking stick since I was 24 it's that bad.
I use motion control insoles and they have been a god send as I’ve decided surgery is no longer necessary. Flat feet suck!
Me too
I'm 24 and I'm at my wits ends with this. Any changes or?
I was looking at videos on flat feet & took into consideration that "possibly just possibly" acquiring flat feet over time may have been the cause of my knee valgus & thanks to your video I got my answer, you guys are the real deal
I went into the Army with flat feet and duck feet. I didn’t know any better and all we did was run, run, and run some more. Not even a year and a half in I have tremendous knee pain that will not go away. It will disappear if I’m very inactive but eventually I walk up a flight of stairs or so
Same here brother. Went into the Army with flat feet and our PL would have us do 6 mile runs every other day and rucks in between for EIB.
my feet are so flat its like a reverse arch
I feel your pain
Fr my shits flat as fuck
Same here
I’m in jrotc and we do a lot of marching and standing for maybe hours and my feet, knees, and lower back are in GREAT PAIN but now I KNOW WHAT TO GET! Thank you! 💛😭
i have flat feet, causes problems in my hips when i walk it clicks
For me it hurts as if a needle is pinching through, did you find a solution 6 years after?
For real! I would often supinate my flat feet to take the pressure off my (hyperextended) knock knees. I'm in my 40s now & now everything hurts from my ankles up.
Great video, thank you! I have extremely high arches but hubby has flat feet so I am always on the look-out for good info to help him. Thank you for the help, I will try to get him to find a pair of motion control shoes.
I just want to cry:-( Darn Genetics
Exactly the thought of not being normal is what makes me suffer.
Moe Joe 2.0 its not that serious lol theres surgery you can get to fix flat feet if you feel really bad about them :)
@@lararobin6725 not everyone can afford surgery tho
@@lararobin6725 Not serious and surgery should never be I the same sentence tf
I have flat feet and my legs are hurting right now
The video I didn't know I needed. Answered practically all my questions instantly from one Google search.
Thanks to you and your awesomely cheesy intro jingle!!
Very very very clear explaination and so professional work .. thank you.
you've helped me with my tailbone problem.... I trust you with my flatfoot problem too
I'm studying for my exam, and your videos help a lot.
Great information. I've learned more from you than any of the 7 podiatrists and 1 ortho I've consulted for this problem. They were ZERO help, gave me conflicting information, and basically had an indifferent attitude. Thanks for all your help. I'm going to try a New Balance motion control shoe, the 928v3, along with either a Powerstep or Spenco Total Support Max orthotic and see if my situation improves -- fallen arches, peroneal tendonitis and insertional achilles tendonitis/bursits. Hoping for improvement and relief from this daily agony. Thanks again.
Thanks for the video. Im flat footed and I get knee pain most is the time especially my right knee thanks for the explanation.
Exact same with me, right knee hurts the most
My left knee gets the worst😐
How can we fix it man I'm 24 and my knees are killing me
Same with me
Well done as always guys. Your OT friend here enjoys your videos.
@physicaltherapyvideo Me, a patient with severe flat feet who had five surgeries, was just told by my doctor that it's IMPOSSIBLE for me to have problems in my knees, hips and lower back from my feet smh. This all happened when i was 17 after i joined the Army.
SMH too! Your doctor is absolutely wrong and should never have told you that.
Thank you so much this helps explain what's going on with my flat feet I will definitely look for those shoes
im very flat footed with a wide foot and new balance tennis shoes are the best shoe ive found
+physicaltherapyvideo yw
Would you be willing to re-do this so we can actually hear Brad? Really appreciate your channel and am battling this issue. Thanks!
Wow as a 24 year old I have hip pain due to this in which my doctor stated I needed surgery, something that isn’t a realistic option for me. The pain feels very similar to sciatica but happens to both legs. It’s just crazy
Same thing I'm going crazy for it, have you found a solution?
Thanks, guys. Big question... wife has had flat feet for 30+ years. But now she has been diagnosed with hip impengement in one hip. She has hip pain in right hip almost all the time while walking. Could impengement pain be exacerbated or even caused by this? Could raising an arch be a fix? Both arches or just bad hip side? Thanks!
Thank you for the video
Gentlemen thanks for you are great demonstration i am 58 years old if i start the exercise for flat feet it would take how long to correct them and which store i can buy the motion control shoes waiting for you are earlier response.
Great video. I gave a round of applause with my flat feet.
I throw my feet out when I walk and when I try to walk with my feet straight my hips feel jammed or something
I love your videos, it would be good if you keep the volume a bit up, and tell people which muscles are underactive and overactive.
lets say im 16 years old, and are showing tendensies to flat feet, wont the support in shoes just make it worse when barefoot and make me dependent on shoes with support to walk properly?
this intro is legendary
Informative video. Can i refer you to a new chiropractic directory to publish your video? No charge
Omg the beginning is killing me 😂😂😂
Oh my god I never knew shoes could bend like that! I’ve been flat footed my whole life and it’s caused knock knees
I am 13 and have flat feet. I play hockey and am now on a one month break. I did not do any strenuous activities. Yet my knee hurts like it has never before. I am worried as I do not want to and cannot quit hockey. please help
Anbazhagan S id talk to a podiatrist, they might suggest that you wear orthotics in your shoes, but i dont know if ice skates allow you to wear orthotics
Oh my gosh I've played hockey almost my entire life and I'm 19, I took a break this year from hockey and my knees are giving me so much trouble these days, feel like I'm 80
@@luvuyom278 honestly, i use to have knee pain, shin splints until i went barefoot. I ordered some xero prios. Go slow into barefoot walking and running. Barefoot walk for 5 minutes one day and steadily increase based on pain
Please make an appointment to see a specialist. You are still young and might be able to fix it
Hopefully your folks can help you do everything possible to correct it, & stay vigilant. You will be much happier & in less pain when you're older. (I didn't get anything treated, so I know first hand!)
I'm not flat footed instead my feet over supinates/anti pronates and I get lateral arch pain. Is there a suggestion would gel insoles help.
How long should I use arch support insole. I feel better after 2 weeks. Knee pain is gone.
But i can fix it with continuous exercise with foot exercise i always wondered y i always had hip knee and foot pain for all these years
Is putting your feet inwards while walking a full feet trait or is it not necessary? I still question myself if I am full feet since my dad is. I also have serious ankle issues.
I have very flat feet (always have) and don't have any of these issues, fortunately. I was told by my orthopedist that I shouldn't wear flat shoes, but they are so comfortable! I try to stay away from ridiculously flat shoes (i.e. shoes I can actually feel rocks through, or the warmth of the ground with), but if I don't have any problems whatsoever with my flat feet now, could I have issues in the future?
Probably this is why i am getting many muscle cramps in my inner thigh i have severe flat feet foot ankle inwards always throbbing pain putting on heels not really able to it looks like i am bow legs...Bob i don't want surgery what can i do at home haven't gone to doctors avoiding big bills ..what do you recommend.
Im 25 I went to the podiatrist and my right arch has completely fallen. My left arch is almost to that level. I suffer from extreme sharp pains in my right hip that cause trouble moving, walking, basically anything. I have been going to the chiropractor religiously, but it just helps temporarily and the pain comes back tenfold. I dont know what to do about it anymore :(
Does motion control shoes cures or just corrects when only wearing the shoes?
I have flat foot and a bunion on my left foot which has unbearable pain. I am getting my flat foot corrected first only on my left and hoping to see if that helps reduce the pain. But many thanks to you guys as I've always noticed pain on my knees while dancing and sometimes pain in my it band, I'm not sure if that could be related to flat feet
I have very flat feet, and growing up my knees would dislocate. Now that I am 37, have developed a bunion, and lower back pain. I was wondering if there is a way to build the muscle that due to its absence we all have flat feet. I also have noticed my hips aren't aligned. Can you make a video on how to realign hips?
Did you find a solution to that? I think I messed up my hips from leaving my flat feet untreated and I was wondering if there was a way to fix it or if I'm screwed.
Ivonne Martinez Are you hyper mobile? EDS? (Ehlers Danlos Syndrome)
My MCL was very tender but got better as soon as I got shoes with a good arch support.
Bob and Brad a question for you both. I've flat feet and it's affecting my karate stances. How can i correct it using relevant devices etc ar the moment I've got compression bands around my mid foot. My knees turn inwards if I try certain stances. My running is tackled by proper over pronation shoes. Please let me know how in karate i can help myself.
I have transverse flat feet. Haven't used insoles in years. I see my left foot calf is smaller than my right by nearly half an inch. Could this be due to flat feet?
Someone please help me I do scare to get surgeries on my foot but I want to get it I’m 12 years old with flat foot. My left foot is flat but isn’t as bad my right is so bad when I wear shoes it creases. Sometime I depressed about it because a lot of people always look at it
Do you guys recommend flat foot reconstruction surgery?
I have flat feet and tore both hip labrums, do you think flat feet are the main cause?
Helpful videos but both of you should have mics because it’s hard to hear sometimes.
Lol broken heart problem! 😂 Thanks for the information, your videos are very helpful and you two are very funny! By the way, I love the song 😄😆❤.
I don't have flat feet but over pronation
My knee, upper thigh and back hurt so much
My right knee actually is the only one that hurts and when I don't wear my aurthotics for a couple months it starts hurting a lot and I cant walk sometimes cause it hurts so much.
I have this issue. My left foot has it's arch while the right side is flat. The left hip is also higher than the right. For the right leg, I feel pain on my MCL when applying pressure and as well as when I bend at the knee. While also dealing with internal rotation, I've been working on strengthening my right glute, hip, ankle and foot muscle. Is it possible to strengthen the foot muscles to the point where they actually pull they pull the bone back up into an arch???
Being overweight can also contribute flat feet or to planter fasciitis causing pain behind the knee and also pain in the hips healthy dieting and exercise is the way to start not the gym
hello sir my age is 19 and i have this problem in my right foot so sir what should i do and yes i don't have flat foot. Please tell me what should I do
you guys are awesome 😇 I wish I was your student
very nice
One thing that massively helped and is helping me with flat feet is Musculus tibialis anterior training. it is one muscle that hardly mentioned with flat feet issue and exercise aimed just at training base of the foot does not help the actual cause. so i strongly advise training this muscle. theres loads of videos on CZcams on how to do that. good luck!
You guys have any recommendations on vitaminas or supplements to made strong the bones , let's say you do training such self defense
OMG!!! I REALLY APPRECIATE this video. my 7 year old daughter will complain that her feet hurt and will get tired of walking. I took her to her pediatrician and he said not to worry about it. Just to make sure I get her some kind of support like shoe insoles. she has flat feet.I ask him to, if we should go see a "food Dr." and he said no. But should I? can you give me any suggestion on other things that I should ask, buy or massage I can do for her feet? I would REALLY REALLY THANKYOU of you answer me.
+physicaltherapyvideo Hi,and thankyou for answering. I have buy "regular" insoles the ones they sale on pharmacies and super markets. is just that they don't seem to help.
Thankyou again☺
keep an eye on things. my flat feet started to cause problems as I got older especially with achilles tendinitis
Keep doing everything you can for your daughter. I know your comment is older, but thank you for caring & noticing. I didn't really have a clue about any of this, & in my late 30s, it all hit at once. I was a part time cane user before 40.
I have flat feet and have had 3 surgeries on my knees due to torn ligaments. Haven't had any hip problems yet though.
I was wondering what info I could get from you guys on my feet xD im 17 years old and Im quite flat footed to the point where I prefer to stand in a 2nd pos jazz (\/) rather than stand with my feet parallel as it make me knock kneed and make me feel like I'm going to loose my balance however for my dance I have to dance in jazz shoes or bare foot and have to perform quite a few moves in parallel for my solo, is there anything I can do to improve my arches so I dont loose my balance because I literally can't stand parallel without losing my balance a bit and that's causing me to loose marks
I am so worried. I have right flat foot. It looks so ugly in the mirror. It aches after a walk of almost 20 minutes and sometimes it aches even when I do not move.
Do you have suggestions for using a roll for someone with hip trouble and frozen shoulder?
+physicaltherapyvideo Thank you. I will talk to my chiropractor. 😊
It’s gotten so bad my ankles just pound after running and I can’t feel my feet just my ankles and knees
Hi team, I am from india, do you have any centre over here. Also I am 27 now and suffering from flat foot and knock knees. Please let me how can I connect with you
I'm 33 I have flat feet I don't have knock knee and I don't have any pain and I run I flip and workout. I weight 150 lbs. Is it that I walk different my shoes wear down to the back outer side
I think my arches fell when I didn’t have proper support working on my feet all day. Knee pain has been my norm now
What do you mean arches fell ?
There is pt u can do for that
Is a motion control shoe the same as a stability shoe?
I'm 25 years old and I have extremely flat feet. I have exactly the same form that you described in this video. I'm starting to have severe lower back pain and knee pain, I can't go anywhere without dr.shols custom inserts...do you recommend surgery at this point ?
Yes. They left the option to me. Either have to use inserts for rest of my life or surgery. I just want to know if the people who took the surgery route are satisfied with their decision. The doctors told me I'm going to develop arthritis soon because of my feet and Im having lot of lower back pain and tense muscle in the growing area so I'm really considering it.
If you can solve it by wearing "inserts" for the rest of your life, then I would do that.
any update?
Can i post your video in a new directory for chiropractors?
Hey sir you both are doing great job.
But one serious request ,please add English subtitles.I can't catch your accent of English.
Me with severe flat feet: ah yes, it makes so much sense now 😂 when I was 13 my doctor said if negative arch were possible I would have it my feet are so bad. I work in a warehouse and let me tell ya if my shoes go bad, my feet absolutely kill me, and if I don’t wear my insoles for a few days in a row I even struggle a little.
I have had a fallen arch, knock knee on my right side since childhood. Last year, I was also diagnosed with moderate hip dysplasia and end stage osteoarthritis of the hip in that side .
I will be having a hip replacement on that side in July.
How will a hip replacement affect my foot and knee? Will they hurt more?
Great info for my 9 yo... super flat-footed and knee knocked.....poor little guy! BTW....Love the intro song....made me laugh
i have pain around knee area from flat feet how to fix that
nice intro
So if I have flat feet and my knees feel sore then I have arthritis? And If I buy special shoes can I reverse it? My knees just recently started to feel sore. I'm 37 years old.
Votre Ami I had knee pain in my thirties because of this. I was also very overweight . I lost 50lbs and the weight in my knees disappeared.
@@cooliocook6911 interesting! My doctor said i am of normal weight. I ended up buying some really good shoes with arch support. I also bought flip flops called oofos! They are heaven sent!
Votre Ami thanks for the tip! I’m going to check those out!
@@cooliocook6911 actually! I just realized something! You have a point regarding the weight! I was carrying a huge back pack around my University. So yeah the back packs weight and my feet caused the knee pain. You are right!
Regardless of weight, Callanetics (which came out in the 80s) & the Lotte Berk Method (from the 60s, but official videos came later) were designed to protect the back & knees. The older videos are a bit cheesy, but the important part is they work.
There are modern teachers of Callanetics, & the Berk Method (anyone approved by Lotte's daughter Esther Fairfax is good). Lotte worked with an osteopath to develop her technique, & Callan trained with Lotte. Both types are are similar, but Callanetics seems a bit gentler; it's a good place to start.
Just a tip from someone this has helped.
Do flat feet cause stress fracture?
My grandma used to make me put my feet on buckets of Vaseline when I was younger like for hours each day. When my feet were super inflamed at school she would bring the Vaseline buckets to school and have me sit in the nurses office with them on my feet while on lunch. Some people saw me doing it and then I was called Vaseline Victor for a couple years
my flat feet fucked me up this week and it sucks when I can't properly train my legs at the gym and might be a bit of a problem during my kickboxing class
My husband has incredibly flat feet. He's experiencing hip & knee pain. Poor thing. 💔😭💔
Turn up the volume.
I am only 13 and I have been having heel spurs, plantar fascitis, tendonitis, hip pain, mild back pain, and severe knee pain. (my knees have turned inwards quite a bit) My doctor said I have falling arches. I'm trying out shoe inserts but I'm wondering if maybe surgery or physical therapy may be better. I do dance though so I'm not sure if surgery would be better or worse.
Sarah Reed go to Amazon and search Superfeet. They're insoles. My PT put me onto them and help a lot
@@lisag18 Spenco Total Support Max insoles are also one of the very best you can get for flat feet.
Will check family and Friends for flat Feet ! Napoléon BoneApart looking very surprised today. You called him Léopold ? is that his second name?
What about training the feet? Shoes make the foot weak and the arches fall. Running barefoot in a field, minimalist shoes, and using a Foot Gym have helped me a lot.
I have very flat wide feet and I wear proper footwear and custom made orthotics and I still have foot and knee pain. My podiatrist says I am a bad case, my foot is flat even when not standing. :(
Jossy Smith so what can you do? I’m in the same boat I wear my orthotics but still get pain in my feet and hips
Me too :(
K Michael look into procedure called hyprocure. I just got it done so I can’t say how I feel yet but I spoke to a lot of others who did and highly recommended it saying it changed their life
Will flat feet cause Pettelar lateral shift ?
I have flat feet and I'm in my 40s. I'm just sick of throwing out shoes because my feet look lopsided in my ballet flats. Thankfully I don't have any major issues because of my flat feet but I want my feet to look normal in a ballet flat
If I get "motion control" shoes, do I need orthotics too?
Love u guys
Thanks. I have flat feet and its impacting on my daily life.
Sir did u get any treatment? If yes pls let me know.
Your voice was always not loud enough.
Pls use good speaker..ur vdos are really knowledgeable but some time cant here even when volume is 100%
Flat feet, painful knees and lower back. Five years in the infantry *definitely* didn't help...
If i'm flat footed and i felt pain in my both knees 2 years ago and put on a console in my shoes and got a blance control shoes
But now i feel pain when i'm sleeping not wearing anything in my feet and not even stepping on the floor! Puting into consideration that i haven't walked on my bare feet since 2 years without the medical shoes
Is the flat feet reconstruction surgery now effective...or my knees are critically harmed & it's too late to have a normal life again
physicaltherapyvideo No i didn't! However, my Flat feet harmed my knees badly and i'm visiting my podiatrist in 2 days to take a decision on Surgery! I hope it gets better
I only wear shoes if I am outside I wear my crew socks if I am inside public places I go bare foot if it's nice out then I put my socks on when I get there. I have very painful flatfeet when I wear shoes for a longtime my feet are also flat when I walk barefoot.
