I felt quick relief after trying some of the stretches in this video. I'm 26 yo female, 5'7", 235 lbs, and have been experiencing foot pain in my arch for about 3-4 years now, some of which I attribute to sacroiliac joint pain which I think was irritated by 3 years standing on a concrete sales floor and a lifetime of rolling my ankles. These stretches helped with the burning ache in the center of my arch that has made it difficult to exercise. I'm going to try and be mindful of how I walk so I can burn off bellyfat without injuring myself any further. I really enjoy walking in the country and hope I can drop enough weigh to run without increasing my risk of injury.

Thanks for offering remedies without sending me to another video and very good pictures for the feet, but, i am not aware of the big toe problems i am experiencing, its hard to tell not seeing the foot, but, thanks for doing the best you can.
it my be the falling arch, but, it hurts to scrunch by toe to help correct that?

Thanks, this was very helpful as there is so much different info on arch pain. I've had really bad arch pain but I'm also almost 300 pounds at 5'10". Have alot of muscle so not just fat so I move where I put alot of strain on my flat feet. I'm pretty sure my weight just puts a ton of strain on my arches. Have you seen heavier people lose weight and then the pain gets better?

It is so painful when I try to run. You think the sock and the shoes insert will help?
