Also known as fallen arches, flat feet means that the arches of the feet are flat rather than arched, and the entire surface of the foot’s sole touches the ground. It can occur over time, but is often hereditary. Flat feet can lead to over-pronation, a gait abnormality where the foot and ankle roll too far inward when you walk. This movement strains the muscles, tendons and ligaments in your feet and legs.
Flat feet can hamper those aspiring to certain occupations, such as dancers, or those who must stand for long periods. People with flat feet often experience foot fatigue, pain in the ankles, knees, hips or lower back. Over time, this can alter body alignment and contribute to chronic discomfort. Supportive footwear and certain exercises can usually improve alignment and relieve strain.
