Do you know how to prevent flat feet?
Prevention
In adults with risk factors for developing flat feet "it could help prevent if these are detected early," says the expert from the General Council of Podiatry Colleges.
In children, he adds, "if we institute early treatment, we can help the development of the arch to be as normal as possible." However, in general, "the goal of non-surgical treatment is to prevent problems associated with flat feet when there is a risk of developing them."
In addition to this, it is possible to perform a series of exercises to optimize the development of the feet:
Tiptoe.
Going barefoot on uneven ground or on the beach.
Grab objects with your toes.
These simple habits help to form the arch and therefore prevent the appearance of flat feet, despite the fact that, in most cases, this type of alteration is hereditary.
Flat feet are generally not a problem with walking or putting on shoes. It is convenient to observe a series of basic rules in footwear, such as always using a wide, comfortable and flexible shoe that is well ventilated and has good adherence to the ground.
