Tailbone injury in my 20’s led to weakened hip & further problems in my feet. I knew there was a connection. But those last two exercises have finally given me a way to strengthen that hip to foot weakness!!! And a powerful visual to incorporate into my healing visualizations!!!

Thank you for these informative videos, I’m learning so much on foot health!❤

Thank you for a structured, well paced, and concise video! Watched others and this was by far the most easily video to follow. 💗💯

Thank you for all the information . I have been having a lot of issues with foot and hip. 🙏

Thank you so much you literally answered all of my questions in great detail glad I found this video .

I am a severe flat feet athlete... when I saw the studies glutes/feet I really understood the relevance of training this muscles 🤩 amazing content, amazing video. Greetings from Chile

This is so helpful! I play Basketball and watch your videos for injury prevention. Thank you!

I loved this. I will certainly work on my fallen arches. Thank You

Thank you so much for this video. It covers all grounds and gives concise advice on how to fix the problem

Thank you for your videos. I'm recovering from multiple ankles sprains and plantar fasciitis. All this is very informative, i hope i can have fully recover and gain back the control of my body soon. It was not easy when you have over weight, over pronation, heel pain and so on. But since i started a new diet and begin to lose weight and treat my fascia it's incredible how much your body get stronger and begin to heal by itself. I don't have heel pain anymore, so i'm beginning to move from my super fancy and coushioning and super stable shoes to some normal ones and then begin the journey for barefoot. Greetings from China, Shanghai from this Colombian viewer!

Been working at home for 18 months, haven't worn a shoe since day one of that. Between that and exercising daily again, I see and feel my foot strength resurrected. But this was a fascinating video!

You are a great speaker and teacher and I hope you find more ways to do both. Also, thanks for this helpful information.

Very interesting and makes good, natural sense. Funny, because started wearing a thick cushion flip flop these past couple of years for more comfort being 65 yrs old, and now my feet are flatter and my right ankle is pronated inward…(if I’m saying that correctly) and it is agonizing! I’ve been a flat shoe and sandal person my whole life with no problems, I decide to go for a cushion and now this…and why I’m watching your video! I will give this theory a try!

Excellent video. Thanks for sharing.

真是對平足的福音.謝謝你的分享!!!

This video explains a lot of what was thought to help, actually hindered my foot problems. As a toddler, I was knocked kneed and flat footed. My mother was an OT and so did exercises with me daily. Without a car we bicycled everywhere, which she though would help strengthen lateral muscles. In the 1950's I always wore leather tie "oxfords" and orthopedic shoes. As an adult I had 6 pairs of orthotics as I was a runner and hiker but when I was pregnant 30 yrs ago, I stopped wearing them. I have continued PT but the pain now is excruciating. The recent x-rays show great deformation and I am considering surgery.

Perfect, thank you!

So grateful I found this video... It’s incredibly informative and encouraging too! Definitely subscribing. Thank you. I feel very hopeful that I can (and will) change the appearance and functionality of my feet with knowledge, hard work, determination and dedication!

I'm really glad this video hit all the points that I've seen separated in other videos that weren't as thorough. The glutes and knees, I feel, were a really important thing to focus on with my fallen arches, which I've had for the longest time despite using barefoot shoes for 5+ years (and being barefoot at home, european). A fun way to exercise for me is using VR games and focusing on how I use my legs, getting into squats and really trying to dig in with the toes when I do -- recommend for anyone who has the funds to do so but hates exercise.

Always, a very great video with a very informative content.

Can you recommend any modifications of these exercises for hallux limitus? Can barefoot shoes be used by patients with hallux limitus? Most Drs recommend stiff soled “rocker” type shoes and also arch supports for this condition. Great video - thanks.

This is very helpful. Thank you. I was diagnosed with flat feet about ten years ago, at age 60!! I had no problem with my feet before then. I tried doing that glute exercise lying on my front and raising my bent knee. I could just about raise it, maybe two centimetres!! No glute strenth at all, it seems, although I do daily stretching, basic exercise and walking. So glute strengthening is what I will focus on next, and maybe it'll resolve my flat feet. Thanks again. Great video.

I'm so excited to find your channel! I had an injury when I was a toddler that injured my left foot, and possible other areas as well. But my parents didn't coddle me or talk much about it as I seemed to recover well and I remember my foot being strong when I was young. Mom always said it was good to walk barefoot, so I did. Didn't have much trouble with my left foot until my 30's, when I discovered I couldn't take jobs that required walking or standing for longer than 1 hour because it caused extreme pain in my left foot, the arch was collapsing, and I began getting a heel spur. I couldn't wear my favored flat sole shoes any more, either. (I didn't even remember the accident!) I bought "custom" orthotics from a certain company, but they didn't help much for long. I went to a podiatrist who made me custom orthotics, but they hurt, too and they went into the box with the others. I have gone through many different shoes (but I always bought wide box shoes), and am using Dr. Scholl's flexible orthotics that are determined by the machine, which has been the only relief (but the pronation and flattening remain). I noticed that each time I would go through the machine evaluation, it gave me a different answer about which was better, so I ended up with several different numbers. It's caused me problems walking, jogging, with my back and so many places in my body. The left side of my body has always had problems, and now I have hope for improvement! Nobody ever suggested exercises, my doctor wouldn't refer me to a PT for my feet, so if they knew exercises that would help, they couldn't tell me what they were (they can only focus on the area you were sent to see them about, even if they know other things that would help). I've been trying coming up with my own strengthening exercises for my feet and toes, and now God has brought your channel to my attention. I am so happy to know that exercises can actually make positive change!

I know this was posted 9 months ago… but… if you have a problem that is NOT post-surgery, you don’t need your doctor to prescribe physical therapy. You just need to call a reputable PT outpatient clinic and schedule an evaluation. I’m a PT Assistant and I live in Louisiana, USA, for reference. That’s how it is in most of the states , if I remember correctly. Hope you get some relief soon!

Did you have an assessment for your leg length? As I remember, if discrepancy is greater than 3/8" then the sole must be built up on the shoe or if the individual already wears an orthopedic (b/c of space limitations within the shoe.) If leg length discrepancy is the problem, the relief may seem immediate, but actually the relief builds as the small back muscles grow stronger and are finally balanced. Lots of PT's skip that part of the assessment. Just ask, it's easy & quick to do. GL

Make sense. Thank you.

This goes contrary to 99% of the advice out there about correcting flat feet, yet it makes total intuitive sense to me. I’ve always suspected that excess reliance on arch support weakens people’s arches and that walking barefoot now and then is actually a good thing.

Exactly. I saw two foot docs and they said no flip flops or going barefoot. Also one of them wanted to give me a sort of steroid joint shot for my ankle, but I knew that wasn't necessary so I canceled the appointment he made in advance without even asking me (just looked for money that guy).

I have never had flat feet, but I have had plantar fasciitis 6 times since age 23 (I'm now 60). About 15 years ago I figured this out on my own, that I could quickly overcome PF in a few weeks using my arch muscles to take the strain off of my plantar fascia. After that I ran barefoot for 10 years, no injuries.

@@yessransari85 It's hard to describe but I'll try. You have to be able to think of using the arch muscles in your foot to lift your arch. Contract those muscles with your bare foot on the floor and your arch should rise up as your foot shortens. Do NOT use the muscles used to curl the toes! If you do this exercise regularly enough, then your arch muscles can become strong enough that when you are walking (without arch supports) you can think of contracting those muscles to support your arch. Good luck!

I had a call from a lady trying to sell to me insoles for improved foot support and for fixing arch problems. I told her about the benefits of being barefoot. I also told her about my experience with minimal shoes and barefoot trail running. 😁

My flat feet are gone after wearing minimal shoes for 6 months and doing deep squats with the focus on keeping my knees from falling inward by screwing my feet into the floor. And I adopted calf stretches because the soreness from barefoot walking shows in the calfs. The floor is quite hard when stabbing the floor with the heel strikes, so that took care of itself in 3 walks.

My Doctor told me that I couldn’t fix my flat feet and I should stop playing basketball. I stopped seeing him right after that

Me, too. Best video I have seen on KZread covering this topic

I've found easing into barefoot shoes from conventional running shoes will help reduce pain and fatigue. Maybe rotate from conventional to unsupported, having more cushioned foot wear at first and ease you feet into more unsupported shoes(e.g. using a "barefoot shoe" once a week for a 1 mile or less run, then a more supported shoe for the rest of the week and for longer runs). Eventually you want to increase your use of "barefoot" shoes to strengthen your arches. The foot exercises are great, the glute exercises are great, also walking in the "barefoot" shoes (even skater shoes can work) for a few weeks before starting a running program will help condition your feet. Eventually you want all your core muscles working together. Glutes, feet, hamstrings, quads, calf muscles, abdominals ect. all work to help stabilize the body and reduce strain on the knees, back and ankles. This is a good video.

Thank you! So glad you liked the video 😁 You are spot on with your way of thinking. In essence, there needs to be a proper barefoot shoe transition period. There is a lot of research coming out now which shows that when a transition period is implemented, the benefits one gains from switching to barefoot style movement is maximised and the risks for injury is minimised.

Skater shoes?

My Dad has been struggling with what I imagine are acquired flat feet for more than a decade now. The doctors and their special foot soles never helped. I think it's time we try the exercise approach.

When you don't have radiant heating and it's winter time and feels cold to be barefoot around the house, how would you suggest getting as close to being barefoot as one can and still be warm? Toe socks with a grip. If that would be your recommendation, which one would you suggest?

I am starting to have flat feet after a stroke. As I am trying to rebuild my muscle strength, I am confused on the footwear. Was told to wear a arch support shoe to help me out. Thinking on MBT footwear, but watching your video suggesting barefoot shoe. I am not very stable when walking bare feet at home, as compare to walking out with my arch support sandal. Appreciate your advice.

Thanks, this is very helpful info. My feet kills me when I run during rugby practice or on the road it comes numb after a wile and my carves start to cramp up the only way to relief this is to walk on the out side of my feet or some times I need to take off my shoes.

Is there any way to know if my flat feet are a deformity? I'm 35 and I don't remember ever having an arch.. Ive been exclusively wearing barefoot shoes for the past 2 years.

I've had flat feet my whole life, apparently from my mother. To compensate for this I got orthotics when I was around 12 and wore them in all my shoes since then. I'm confused as to why this would have been recommended when it sounds like the added support would just further weaken the arches. I've recently made the switch to barefoot shoes and am loving it but my feet still give me issues sometimes

Plz address issues construction workers could employe where steel toe footwear is a requirement coupled with typically a 40 ft extension ladder (i.e. nearly round rungs) for climbing. Seems like it would be a lot of flexing of both dorsal and plantar flexors. Thx, your effort is superb.

Do you have any tips / thing to say about feet on a skateboard /surfboard. I think i had a fallen arch on my feet like you explained but i felt skating and forcing my feet to stabilize the board and keep balance help me to strenghten my feet muscles but i can't explain that as good as you !

I've flat feet and also a gout sufferer. Unfortunately now, I can't bend my big toe on my right foot, so some of these exercises may not be easy or doable, but hey ho, worth a try anyway.

This is interesting. I have very high arches, and super-cushioned shoes actually give me more problems, but I find I have to actively search for narrow-width, soft-soled shoes that are still pretty. Even some of the old light-weight shoe brands I used to wear have since added thicker soles, more padding and made the standard width wider.

I had flat feet as a kid. I remember my dad took me to a friend of his which was an ortopedist and he told my dad to force me do several exercises, like, raises on my tips so to speak, and staying with my feet on a cilinder, in the door, and roling my flat feets on that stuff. And i did it many many times till the issue was solved and it worked great.

I totally agree. I had plantar's fasciitis caused by running hills. Constant. Nagging. My doctors shrugged, saying, "nothing I can do." But when I moved and had a flare-up, my new doctor mentioned the success he and some of his patients have had with barefoot training shoes. With nothing to lose, I bought a pair... and wow! The results were almost immediate, the symptoms diminishing over a month before vanishing. Almost 15 years later, I have no plantar fasciitis. I run as much, but with barefoot shoes. And I even lift and do HIIT cardio workouts barefoot.

@@dianemarie8873 I was in CA at the time, so I purchased Vibrum Five Fingers at a local sporting goods store. Now that I'm back in the Midwest, barefoot running shoes are harder to find at a reasonable price so I've been hitting Amazon. I've stopped using the Five Fingers, though, because you cannot wear regular socks with them, so they smell to high heaven. Just something with minimal to no rise in the heel and no arch supports. You can spend a bit at first, but you'll get more life from barefoot shoes. Unlike my old shoes, which I replaced at least twice a year, I now keep the same shoes until the sole wears out. My current pair of Morrow Train Runners have lasted me two and a half years, running outside summers and on the treadmill winters, about 10 to 20 miles a week. They have six months to a year left. To save wear-and-tear on my running shoes, I've been using either water socks or old-school Converse All-Star style shoes in the weight room. I've tried on wrestling shoes that are flat and thin-soled, but they're too constricting in the toe box for me. I've also found a decent pair of cheap Fubu basketball shoes (under $20) at Walmart that could fit the bill better than my Converse, which are getting old. The problem is, they've been out of my size so the ones in the store are either too tight or sloppy loose.
