My feet are so flat they could pass as pancakes

I was looking at videos on flat feet & took into consideration that "possibly just possibly" acquiring flat feet over time may have been the cause of my knee valgus & thanks to your video I got my answer, you guys are the real deal

I get painful knees due to what I presume is flat feet. My knees hurt nearly every day and I’m 25 years old.

I went into the Army with flat feet and duck feet. I didn’t know any better and all we did was run, run, and run some more. Not even a year and a half in I have tremendous knee pain that will not go away. It will disappear if I’m very inactive but eventually I walk up a flight of stairs or so

Thanks for the video. Im flat footed and I get knee pain most is the time especially my right knee thanks for the explanation.

my feet are so flat its like a reverse arch

[singingnymph]

For real! I would often supinate my flat feet to take the pressure off my (hyperextended) knock knees. I'm in my 40s now & now everything hurts from my ankles up.

Great video, thank you! I have extremely high arches but hubby has flat feet so I am always on the look-out for good info to help him. Thank you for the help, I will try to get him to find a pair of motion control shoes.

The video I didn't know I needed. Answered practically all my questions instantly from one Google search.
Thanks to you and your awesomely cheesy intro jingle!!

Would you be willing to re-do this so we can actually hear Brad?  Really appreciate your channel and am battling this issue. Thanks!

@physicaltherapyvideo Me, a patient with severe flat feet who had five surgeries, was just told by my doctor that it's IMPOSSIBLE for me to have problems in my knees, hips and lower back from my feet smh. This all happened when i was 17 after i joined the Army.

i have flat feet, causes problems in my hips when i walk it clicks

[leona]

im very flat footed with a wide foot and new balance tennis shoes are the best shoe ive found

[itsjusttaj]

Wow as a 24 year old I have hip pain due to this in which my doctor stated I needed surgery, something that isn’t a realistic option for me. The pain feels very similar to sciatica but happens to both legs. It’s just crazy

Great information. I've learned more from you than any of the 7 podiatrists and 1 ortho I've consulted for this problem. They were ZERO help, gave me conflicting information, and basically had an indifferent attitude. Thanks for all your help. I'm going to try a New Balance motion control shoe, the 928v3, along with either a Powerstep or Spenco Total Support Max orthotic and see if my situation improves -- fallen arches, peroneal tendonitis and insertional achilles tendonitis/bursits. Hoping for improvement and relief from this daily agony. Thanks again.
