A physiotherapist can show you specific and tailored stretches and strengthening exercises for your feet, Achilles tendons and calf muscles that can help to restore your arch and make it more functional. Physiotherapy is usually required 2-3x per week for 4-8 weeks to positively impact chronic foot problems.

Depending on the severity of your symptoms and the cause of your flat feet, the podiatrist may recommend simple palliative care (rest, ice and anti-inflammatories during flare-ups), orthotic therapy, casting or bracing the foot, or some form of surgery.  Adult-acquired flat feet affects women four times as often as men and tends to occur in later years (around 60).  X-rays are great for seeing bone problems, but they are not diagnostic for soft tissue issues, such as those of the tendons and ligaments. Your podiatrist is trained for relatively minor operations of the feet, but more...
