Physiotherapy Effectively Treats Flat Feet QUESTION: Telma, in your last article you were explaining how it is a good idea if you find that your child has flat feet, to bring them in for an evaluation by a physiotherapist. What's next? Physiotherapy will cut right to the heart of the condition and change the arch. The degree of change, however, depends on the individual. Consider that there are different degrees of flat feet. In standing, if the arch has sufficiently flattened so much that the person is actually walking on the inside of their arch then orthotics become very important. We need to support that arch and keep it from getting getting any flatter. In another instance, the child's arch disappears when they stand on it, but it is not severe yet to the point where they are walking on the arches themselves. Physiotherapy is the solution in the last instance. To understand how, let me walk you through the three phases of an examination. Let's take the example of the eight year old girl that I used last week. Her doctor noticed that she has flat feet and asked me to examine her and give my opinion on the condition. She has flat feet on both sides, but more on the left side. The first thing I did was a Computerized Gait and Pressure Analysis on her. This showed that she was taking too much weight on her left heel. Secondly, I did the Straight Leg Raise Test. With the client lying down, I examined the tension of her leg muscles. muscles. With her leg straight, I lifted up her left leg and them compared the tension to that of lifting the right leg up. My findings? There was a significant difference. Her right leg lifted up easily and her left leg only half the distance in the lift and you could feel a lot of hamstring tension in the left leg. Lastly, I did a detailed examination of the foot as far as the ability to move the foot joints. This is called a Comparison Test -- comparing the forefoot, the foot from the ankle up, the toes and so on with the hind foot, and comparing if the hind foot can move properly and if the forefoot can move properly. I found that the forefoot, the toes from the ankles up, moved very well, but that the hind foot, the heel, was stuck and twisted in. When I attempted to twist the left heel out, it would not do. this for me whereas on the right side it was perfectly normal. The condition of this child's left heel is called an inverted calcaneus or a- twisted heel and it is a direct result of the flat foot condition. To understand how, let's relate it back to the flat feet. One of the big purposes of the feet is to walk. They take our body weight and transmit it to the ground as we walk. The most common reason why an arch flattens is because we still have to get the foot to the ground. If one part of the foot cannot move, like the heel, and it cannot move well as it should, then the forefoot will compensate. compensate. When this happens, over time a flat foot results. In order to correct correct this kind of flat foot, we need to correct the twist in the heel. Physiotherapy will decrease the twist in the heel. If that heel is not twisted in anymore then there will be less reason for the rest of the foot to twist in, so long as the arch is not already flattened and the person is not walking on the inside of the arch. This is more likely the case with a young child. (It is also possible with adults but treatment takes a little longer.) My solution for this young lady is to start her on a course of physiotherapy physiotherapy for the purpose of correcting the twist in the heel and, ultimately, To help with her flat foot. We will find a change in the flatness in the foot in about 80% of the cases. In the other 20% of the cases, they may have to go on and get orthotics. If you have .a child with flat feet or have flat feet yourself, make an appointment with your physiotherapist and get an examination.
