- what's flat feet
A flat foot, also known as a flat foot deformation, refers to the lower or disappearing of the inner part of the foot caused by congenital or congenital diseases, often accompanied by a back-and-back flip and a forward foot outreach deformation. Most flat foot patients have no symptoms, but a few are associated with pain in their ankles, which at this time is referred to as “paralytic disease”。
Ii. How can flat feet be judged
1. Observation method: the tested person's feet are open, as wide as his hips, his toes are flat, his eyes are on the front and his weight is between his feet. The normal foot of a person is a natural bow, but there are flat feet, which are essentially flat, without a visible bow, and when standing, the inside of the foot can be directly touched。
2. Finger test: maintain the above-mentioned stand, with the tester using his middle finger and the end of his finger, reaching from the inside below the height of his foot bow until it is no longer able to enter, and observe how long the tester's foot bow devours his finger。
If the finger can go deep into the length of a finger section, the height of the bow is generally normal; if the length of the finger is less than 1/2 or more, the bow is too flat or flat feet。
Iii. What are the types of flat feet
A flat foot can be divided into an congenital flat foot and a natural flat foot。
1. Congenital flat feet: induced by congenital malformation, genetic or foot musculoskeletal abnormalities。
2. Post-natural flat feet: long-term missteps leading to the collapse of the foot bow and the loss of buffer elasticity, resulting in the wearing of inappropriate shoes。
Depending on their formation, they are also characterized by flexy and rigid. Escalation means normal bows when they are weightless, and the bows collapse and disappear when standing or loading, and most softness is free of surgical treatment without obvious symptoms. In the case of rigid homogeneity, there is also a collapse or disappearance of the bow, with the majority of adults and some patients requiring surgery。
So if you've got flat feet, you have to focus on professional treatment。

Iv. How to improve flat feet
Here are four simple actions to improve flat feet:
Action one: the bottom membrane is loose
Standing or sitting, a tennis ball or a membrane ball is placed at the bottom of the foot to ease the bottom muscle and can roll back and forth in more pain than a few times, slowing down the bottom rigid muscle。
Action 2: heat training
Standing up, holding up walls or stools, slowly lifting the heel, gravitationalizing the body to the toes, holding it tight on the ground, keeping it down in 30 seconds, doing 15, repeating three groups。
Action three: toes to grab towels
Sit, feet on towels, toes on towels, toes on the inside, toes on the inside, slowly scratching the towels, making 15, repeating three groups。
Action 4: flexibility training
Each of these steps is maintained for five seconds and repeats the five groups。
Concluding remarks
The flat foot may not only affect body and pace, but may also cause a range of foot problems. Therefore, if there are signs of flat-footing, medical attention should be provided in a timely manner for professional diagnosis and treatment. At the same time, through day-to-day training and correction, we can also achieve some improvement in flat feet, with healthier, more confident steps。
