Flat feet in children is a serious problem that must be addressed in an integrated manner. In children 3-5 years old, physiological flat feet most often develops, in which a fatty layer forms in the region of the medial edge of the foot, creating the effect of an uneven foot. Such flat feet are called static. If flat feet in a small child have already formed, doctors recommend a comprehensive approach to its treatment.
In particular, it is necessary to regularly perform gymnastic exercises and massage the child. If a baby develops physiological flat feet in the first year of life, then the only thing that can be done is to perform regular passive exercises, to do a light massage. Exercises for flat feet in children aged 2 years and older already consist of play exercises with elements of physiotherapy. The kid will surely like to roll balls with his feet, hold them with his feet, lift them with their feet up, etc.
