I have been having burning pain in the arch area of one foot. Hurts so much, especially at night. The exercises you show here have been a tremendous help. It only took a week of these exercises to notice the pain going away. THANK YOU for sharing this video.

I've been going to PT and I will be incorporating some of your tips into my exercise. The butt squeeze while doing the foot arch exercise was an excellent suggestion! I still have tightness and stiffness between my metatarsals, so I'm hoping it will get better over time. Take care.

Hey Kristie so idk if I have plantar fasciitis I just have pain in the arch of my foot when I run for like 10 mins. Will these Exercises help?

@drkristieennis

3 жыл бұрын

They can help! I would also make sure to check to make sure you have the appropriate sneakers and running form. Pain in the arch can come from the posterior tibialis tendon which is the main arch supporting muscle.

Just curious, do you recommend getting an orthopaedic insert in addition to doing the exercises, or should I try the exercises first, maybe I won’t need the insert?

I have high arches and I play sports . While I am running , pressure on my feet balls are extremely high and it is really painful. Is there any way (exercises) to get lower those arches to make normal arches . Thanks in advance

@drkristieennis

3 жыл бұрын

Unfortunately, I’m not aware of exercise to lower the arch. Calf and foot muscles tend to be extra tight with this foot type so it’s important to make sure to work on those. Also, the right shoe (usually a neutral or cushion) can help.

I have a question does doing these exercises only increase the arch and fix flat feet or does this fix flat feet and fix overpronation? because I have flat feet and overpronation (or does fixing the arch automatically fix the overpronation?) please answer and help.

@drkristieennis

3 жыл бұрын

It definitely depends on what’s causing overpronation. If you have completely flat feet, strengthening and soft tissue work is important but typically this requires some type of orthotic for support.

It can just be the way we are built or a muscle imbalance. I always have people, including myself, address any muscle imbalances and then follow with the proper sneakers and orthotics as needed.

Would just 1 excersise stop the pain or do I have to do multiple ones to get rid of the pain?

Is it possible to improve flat feet if that's how you were born?I heard it's impossible but my mother said she improved hers despite being born like that

@drkristieennis

3 жыл бұрын

We all have flatter feet as kids and then tendons, ligaments, and muscles start to develop. If you have any weakness in your hips or feet, this can certainly help improve that. If you biomechanically have less arch, it’s still good to develop whatever muscle you can and then look to orthotics if you haven’t corrected it and it’s affecting you.
