This video goes over easy exercises to fix your foot and arch pain. You can even do some of these while at work!

    I have been having burning pain in the arch area of one foot. Hurts so much, especially at night. The exercises you show here have been a tremendous help. It only took a week of these exercises to notice the pain going away. THANK YOU for sharing this video.

      These exercises certainly help flat feet. If there is an underlying bio mechanical issue, that also needs to be addressed.
      I also like the station Upright Health.

      I’m not sure about other exercises on RUclips. That might take some experimenting:) the exercises can help flat feet but it does depend on the cause.
      Some of my patients do need orthotics or different foot wear.
      I typically have people start with a set of 10 daily.

      @drkristieennis  3 года назад

      They can help! I would also make sure to check to make sure you have the appropriate sneakers and running form. Pain in the arch can come from the posterior tibialis tendon which is the main arch supporting muscle.

    • @drkristieennis
      @drkristieennis  3 года назад +2

      Unfortunately, I’m not aware of exercise to lower the arch. Calf and foot muscles tend to be extra tight with this foot type so it’s important to make sure to work on those. Also, the right shoe (usually a neutral or cushion) can help.

    I have a question does doing these exercises only increase the arch and fix flat feet or does this fix flat feet and fix overpronation? because I have flat feet and overpronation (or does fixing the arch automatically fix the overpronation?) please answer and help.

    • @drkristieennis
      @drkristieennis  3 года назад

      It definitely depends on what’s causing overpronation. If you have completely flat feet, strengthening and soft tissue work is important but typically this requires some type of orthotic for support.

    • @drkristieennis
      @drkristieennis  3 года назад +1

      We all have flatter feet as kids and then tendons, ligaments, and muscles start to develop. If you have any weakness in your hips or feet, this can certainly help improve that. If you biomechanically have less arch, it’s still good to develop whatever muscle you can and then look to orthotics if you haven’t corrected it and it’s affecting you.
