Are you familiar with the term Pes Planus?
Pes Planus—aka flatfoot—is a condition where the arch of the foot collapses or is lower than normal, causing your entire sole to come closer to the ground.
This altered alignment can shift how your body distributes weight and absorb shock, often leading to pain or instability over time. It’s one of the most common foot postures we see as pedorthists, and in some cases, it can lead to many issues up the kinetic chain including:
👉 Plantar Fasciitis
👉 Osteoarthritis
👉 Nerve impingements
👉 Heel pain
👉 Low back pain
If you have flat feet and you’re noticing discomfort or postural changes, a pedorthist can help. We design custom orthotics to support your arches, improve alignment, and reduce strain on your joints. Book an appointment with the West Coast Pedorthics team today!
