I was born with flat feet did the massage exercise, the arch exercise, the big toe lift, and the foot arch for about 10 min and I have results within the first day, I’m going to do the exercises everyday

I have been completely flat footed since I was a child. I remember all of us making a foot print in Kindergarten on a sheet of paper. I noticed straight away the difference between MY footprint and those of my classmates. EVERYONE had a significant arch except for me. My foot print was the WHOLE foot, absolutely NO arch. As an adult I shop for shoes with good arch support (then usually add an insert for good measure.).

I was born with flat feet and ANY type of arch support is painful.

thanks, Dr. Jo. I really appreciate your down-to-earth teaching style. Your non "glamorized" appearance. You are really a beautiful person, inside and out. Don't change! And I am going to follow your exercises to heal my sprained ankle!

I've had flat feet my WHOLE life and have foot problems. This was very informative.

I have flat feet and I'm on them for 8 hours on my work days, I feel like I've been wearing heels all day and they are killing me. I lost my balance and fell over a couple times

Thanks doctor Jo I am an Airforce aspirant but i had a flat foot which could drop me out in medical tests, with your help I was able to fix my flat foot. Thankyou

Dr Jo, your exercises are certainly doable and give immediate relief. I had been doing some of them without knowing why, simply because they felt good. Thank you so much!

After all exercises my entire leg felt peace.. Thx Dr!

I'm 19 and I've had fallen arches all my life (born with them). When I was 13, I had physical therapy to prevent pain but now my left foot is really feeling the effects. I need new custom soles for my shoes, but until then, these exercises do just fine. Thank you so much. They really relieve the pressure.

I'm trying to lose weight at 235 now, but my feet are getting in the way. + I work in a hospital. But I felt relief just attempt these exercises. I have insoles made by a professional

Hi, im 18 years old and I have noticed my brother has a higher arched foot than I due to my poor foot development through my childhood. Thankfully I am still growing at this age (later bloomer), whilst doing running over quarantine has helped my foot, I think these exercise will solve the problem of my flat feet. If I correct my foot development I'll get back to you, thanks!

Thanks Dr. Jo. My feet really hurt after jogging.

I have flat feet since I was about 10 years old, always had problems like my feet burning while walking and sometimes I had something like temporary paralysis in my feet and legs and I could not walk or stand. My dad took me to few doctors, but they didn´t find anything so he told me I´m just lazy and trying to find ways how to be out of school etc. Today I´m 24 years old and few weeks ago my new doctor told me that I have flat feet,heel spur and scoliosis probably due to flat feet. So after all these years now when I know what is it, I can take care of my feet. Thank you for these treatments, they are helping a lot

YOUR THE BEST KEEP DOING WHAT YOUR DOING, THANK YOU.

My son is going through this he has a lot of feet problems he has a arch, but when he stands he has no arch at all. His podiatrist said it got worse to where he as no arch he recommended better insoles with more support, and physical therapy so we are going to give these a try thanks dr joe.

I had a pretty bad knee injury that I didn’t take care of ( needed surgery had no money :( ) for over a year causing me to not use my legs or feet as much or not at all some days. I recently had the surgery and Im working my way back. My right knee was the issue causing my right foot to become almost completely flat and my left foot is only kinda flat. Thank you for your help! I can barely do the second exercise making a C with my arch so it’s gonna be a fun marathon of a rehab.

Good choice of socks to show the movement of the arch!

My flat feet thank you! Excellent tips.

I found out my feet where flat when i was at a friends pool party. Everyone else had regular looking wet footprints and my footprint was literally my whole foot.

Such a very useful concept. Thanks for sharing with us. Keep it up!!

How often should I be doing these exercises? It seems like doing this workout all the way through would be about 15-25 minutes. Should I be doing this every day?

Such great information. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

Ive started to get flat feet this year. I am very insecure about it. But I want to know how long it will take for me to see progress? Also I don’t have those things for my shoes. Is that fine?

A really great video for fixing your own feet as well as recommending foot exercises for others w. flat feet.

It makes sense. The feet still have muscles of course. I've been into body building for years now. It never dawned on me that you need to stretch the tendon in the foot and actually train the foot muscles. i've always felt pain at the bottom of my feet when walking. The tightness from the bottom calf which is also painful from being flatfooted leads my body to be pretty unstable when standing. It's like I'm always about to fall back. I'm gonna do this. Also your video from 6 years ago about the Herniated disc has saved my gym career lol. 3 years post injury and I'm still going strong because of those stretches. Thanks Jo

I have flat feet and because of them I suffer from extensor tendonitis and peroneal tendonitis. it really is the worst thing ever! hopefully these tips help thank u!

Glad I found you! I’m 60, have very flat s10.5 feet, PTTD in r ankle, balls of the feet pain, pin in 2nd toe on left foot.....yeah.... I got issues. Was so excited about those inserts......and they are OUT OF THEM in my size.....

I used to have orthotics for my flat, pronated feet. They helped a little but never did much. Thing is I used to twist my ankle all the time, then I started wearing those shoes that have the toes separated like fingers on a glove. I stopped twisting my ankle. Then I stopped using the orthotics and did alright for a while but had new problems over time. Seems like exercise helps the most (the toe shoes made my foot stronger). So I will be trying these exercises for sure.

Better Demonstration

OMG!!! IM DOING ALL THESE BY INSTICT SINCE I WAS A CHILD FOR EXAMPLE, INSTEAD OF CHAIR I WAS "HANGING" MY FEET OF THE SIDEWALK CURVE ON MY FEET TOES TO STRECH MY CAMARA (ARCH) OR PRESSING MY CAMARA ON THE CURVE,. ALSO I ALWAYS PLAYING THE TENNIS BALL UNDER MY FOOT

Will be trying this with my son, he is 13 and had had flat feet since birth. He would love to play sports but the pain in his feet can be excessive.

I’m trying to build an arch in my foot, I noticed it’s affecting my knees now and I don’t want it to go to my hips. How often do you recommend doing these excersises and about how long will it take to build an arch in my foot if I do these everyday?

Are there exercises to increase the arch? My feet aren't completely flat. My knees hurt after jogging.

When will you see the results if you do this 1-2 per day? Thanks for this video, i have watched many, but this is the best

how do you actually create the arch in the first exercise?? I feel nothing moves if I keep toes and heel down...

Thank you. I will try to do this at least every other day since I have one very flat foot and I intend to pursue dancing as a passion.

Does this vid cured a flat feet? Please tell me your story I’m tired of searching on how to fix this problem.

Thank you so much u don't know how much this means to me it was so hard to me living with this flat foot

Thank you for this nice video! Would it be recommended to walk on tip toes for a few hrs each day to help build the arch?

Hello dear i really impress by you..i herself a student of a DPT,...i usually use you exercise... it's really effective....i wish you may you more success in your field..where are you from???

I think I have flexible flat feet and that it is genetic. It doesn't seem to bother my parents, but it definitely bothers me, which is sad because I love long walks. My favorite shoes are definitely my birkenstocks. I'm trying to strengthen my arches, so thank you for this video!

These helped so much, thank you!!

Dear madam very clear you educstion i am from sri lanka

Thank you Dr. Jo for the exercises. I have to try it out. I couldn't follow the last but one exercise as it was blocked by the sub tittles

I have super flat feet (congenitally; my dad also had them), but have good ability to move my feet. Most insoles I dislike because they are too rigid, so I use Sorbothane ones that are cushy without reducing sole flexibility.

My niece is 2 years old and she has flat feet - like almost every child her age. The paediatrician advised my sister that my niece needs to start wearing “special” shoes to help develop that arch. Could any of these exercises work on a child as well? She doesn’t have any pain or discomfort, she runs and plays like any normal child, so I personally don’t think they should force her to wear arch support shoes.

Hi, thank you for this video. I do competitive gymnastics so I don’t wear shoes while I practice and I have very flat pancake feet lol so thank you so much this will definitely help me 😊

Hi doctor Jo, I am from india and I am 18 years old and have flat feet since childhood, but it doesn't hurt at all, I can run properly, I also go to the gym and have no problem ( sometimes it just cramps).

If you answer my questions, it would mean a lot to me.😢😞🙁

Good evening Dr Jo. Will this help to treat knee joint problems? Because at the moment, I have a knee issue, which I can't really bend it or straighten it much. Please advise. Thanks.

I was born with flat feet, sometimes when I'm walking my middle part of feet starts hurting so much. Should I fell this when I have flat feet?

Dr Jo, I’d like your opinion on my situation! If my feet pronate a lot and my knees go in, is exercising without shoes detrimental? I do a lot of yoga and qigong without shoes but have noticed a lot of shin and knee pain lately. Could the bare feet be worsening it? It feels odd to wear shoes with yoga but wanted to check if its a good idea to get some kind of arch supported shoes

hi doctor Jo, thank you for this video it's easy to follow and I hope it will help me. I have flat feet and I think my left one overpronates. I went to the doctor because of left foot and knee problems and she said it is because I have dorsolumbar scoliosis can it be the other way around? (the overpronation is causing the scoliosis?) how can you tell the difference and will exercises vary?

I want to know flat feet is a common problem or not?. I have flat foot and some time I feel pain in down side foot so request to you can you suggest any further precautions or something else that can be helpful to me?.
