i've had flat feet for as long as i can remember, and i used to dance ballet. learning that genetics or tight calf muscles might be the cause is really reassuring because i remember a time when my calf muscles were almost always locked, and it hurt to press on them because they were so tense. now at least i have an explanation!
these things are due to hyper-mobility which is the root cause for those tight muscles usually
Underrated thank u for this video
I did a surgery for flat foot,i had it since i was born.basically the surgery hurts so bad they put a prothese inside of your foot and you can't walk on it for like 2moths+ it was so hard to me because my foot became very weak and then a year after you have to do another surgery to remove the prothese.just exercice,don't do it
How are you feeling now?
How does exercising move bones?
@@antivaxxnugs7859 You will be surprised
Thanks a lot for your advice
@@ghadamedhat5838 you have to realize that it's really rare for flat foot surgery failing.
After you did your flat foot surgery, would you still be able to do the physical activity that you want to do?
Pain like a hook stuck between 3rd and 4th toe on the left foot (especially after physical exertion). I have flat feet but are these two connected by any chance? 🤔
Thankyou for this information.
Sorry for the pain
I’ve had flat feet for my whole life and everytime I walk for too long or run I get pain in my knees, hips, back, feet, and I have bad posture it sucks because I can’t get help
I have same problem what are you doing right now to correct that
Same problem with me, i use bicycle or car instead since i can't walk. 😒
Same here. Got on to a better diet with dr. Berg and a good pair of runners.
good day folks I have been dealing with these same issues for 15 plus year's and family practioners and foot and ankle doctors along with orthopedic doctors tell me there is nothing that they can do for myself .. foot and ankle dr. told me it was higher up, had extensive back surgery and now back to the same situation prior to the surgery with the foot and ankle ... with what you mention in the video is exactly what is going on with myself ... any suggestions
My ankle is swollen and I’m having severe pain from having flat foot which led me here.
My son have flat feet and when he walk or run he touched only toes not whole feet. Is it anything serious and what is the treatment for that. Please let me know
My doctor said I don't have a flat foot, just fat foot.
😂😂😂😂
lol😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
But my feet hurt all day and all night specially sleeping in bed. I started anti fatigue mats in my kitchen , and I have to wear shoes till bed time. Can flat feet hurt cause to being on them as all day thing.
I have flat feet (fallen arc) so somtimes it is hurting so i dont know what to do
I have a flat foot, My dad was born with it but mine probably needs to be treated because I can’t even run or else my ankles hurt, I can’t walk long either so this is nice to know :)
hello did you have surgery ?
I have a flat foot,initially I used to have some pain under the foot after running...but now its normal I don't feel any pain after running
You did surgery?
I was born with flat feet . My feet hurt so much very day. I feel soreness , arch hurting , it is messing my left hip as well.
Mine too, and my back and periformis.
I have One flat foot and the other is normal, it is not balance
I was born with flat feet and you know what? They don't bother me. My friends gave me the nickname "Sasquatch" back in high school (it's just a joke which I take no offense to). I'm not able to run for long distances, though that won't stop me from playing my favorite sport's, especially Hockey.
Question: I've always had flat feet and my whole life when I'm sitting or leaning on a wall I will turn my foot to the side and almost rest on the sides of my feet. I never thought anything of it until someone pointed it out to me. I walk normal, it's just my resting position, my comfort position. Is that caused by my flat feet?
It is,mostly if you're standing still you will feel back pain
When i walk my feet are kinda turned to the side
Do u have that?
@@floridaman1251 hell yes i have!
Dude, this is exactly what I do. Sometimes I will accidentally roll my ankle a little bit because I'm walking too much on the outsides of my feet.
Im the same!
My cousin and Aunti’s feet are flat there fine for now 😳
Hi! What do you think about "Calcaneo-stop" and senotarsal endorthesis? In Italy are a common surgery for flat feet.
What is that?
I was born with flat feet 😭 and they are starting swell ☹️
Me too but i also have pain slightly just above the inner ankle. Its keeping me up at nights.
Bro, we all are.
I pray to God to help you 🤲
Me too! 😔
@@Ashley-zy6jt where do you come from ?
Me having flat feet and finding out I can treat it but knowing my parents wouldn't let me do because I might be expensive😥😥😔
But I'm tired of it I cant walk long distance or stand on my feet for way to long .And I know I ain't a fast running but my flat feet also contribute to me not being able to run fast .And I remember wen I was younger like 8 or 10 if I walk barefoot outside on gravel or on uneven terrain my feet under would get swollen
Same here
When I was younger I was really athletic in running, I could run a mile in 6.5 minutes. But now I found out that I was always flat footed but the pain has become so bad to the point where I have to rest the whole day because of how swollen my foot has become. Not to mention the pain from simply standing still, and the knee and back pain that comes with it
@@SlionOP same when I was younger I was able to do the mile quick and now that I’m older I realized that I had flat foot because I had gotten this new job as a stocker and the pain was getting to bad to a point where everything was irritating and I had to work through it but I’m glad I know now so I can try and help it
Same people always look at me because of my walking style due to flat foot
i had left flat feet so it causes having a scoliosis too am i right? so which surgery should i do flat feet or scoliosis?
Flat feet doesn’t cause scoliosis
@@teatime9550 It actually does, having one flat feet may cause Lateral pelvic tilt, which moves one side of the hip upwards and the other side goes down, thus it cause a warp in the spine
Sorry if I made mistakes but English isn't my first language😇
True I have flat feet from young age and I have scoliosis 😢
hmm my ankles do bend that way but my feet do have an arch
Any of this available on the nhs? Lol
I have flat feet but it's not too much its little bit flat and have curve but my medical test in army they said it's flat so how can i get curve in a month kindly sort me out
Bro what did you do for correction?
I had my right foot fixed in March 2017 and left foot in December 2020
How old are you? And how is the results? Do you feet have arch?
@@marciabernardi231 yes I have arches now from fusion

I have a flat foot, i have never felt any pain or discomfort before, but I'm worried i might feel the pain when im older. I'm currently 28.
some people live with it all their life without hurting if it can be of comfort to you
I’m hurting at 23 but I do all for hours
It wol starting discomfort at your 30 plus ➕( when become older)
I have flat feet also, im almost 24 old, and literally i can't walk and run for long since i got exhausted very quikly.
You will im 43 it got bad in my 40s
I have had orthotics, physical therapy, and shots in the top/back of my foot. My left foot is doing better, but due to the weight I put on it it’s wearing down quicker. My right ankle & toes pronate. I have been told there was nothing I could do for my entire life as far as surgery goes. I gave up my baseball career because of the issues with this foot. I now can not even walk correctly or go a day without pain. I live in GA. I am miserable and would love to have some help here. I my hip and knee are also starting to be affected at only 29 years old. Please help.
Have you watched any of dr. Bergs videos on you tube? Our entire family is feeling so much better …
I have flat foot and bow legs together 😭
I'm same way 😢😢, and I'm only 54 omg it feels terrible, sometimes I just want to die 😭
300,000 years ago we evolved to run barefoot and all of a sudden 30 years ago we now need arch support and feet support?
That’s not a fact.
A conspiracy is afoot!
have u ever heard of genetics
thats why i dont wear shoes i havent wore them since 6th grade my feet feel so much better and my fallen arch when to a high arch just from not wearing stupid shoes i hate them shoes are bad for you
They didn't have roads and hard surfaces back then either
Can I play football running ecc with flat feet pls? Does it create damage or some risks?
You can play football and run. It’s just if it hurts then you should go see a gp
@@murtza_6640 Aok thank you I appreciate your comment
Can physical therapy completely remove our flat feet
No. Physical therapy cannot cure flat foot.
I think surgery can, but even that may not solve it
It depends whether you are born with it (genetic) or you acquired it over time
If ur feet are literally COMPLETETLY flat like all of it is on the floor then surgery is needed
Both my legs were flat and I realized my bones are weak so I started eating more foods with vitamin d
I also noticed after the first day of the vitamin d pill it feels almost as if ally pain transferred to my my left leg
is it possible to be born flat footed?
Yes, I’ve had flat feet forever. Also, it’s stated in the video when they mentioned congenital flat foot
