Understanding Foot/Toes Deformity - Flatfoot/High Arches
Abnormal foot arches can lead to pain, imbalance, and altered gait mechanics. Reliefic Physiotherapy evaluates foot alignment, muscle strength, and movement patterns. Treatment includes manual therapy, strengthening, stretching, and orthotic recommendations to support proper biomechanics and reduce strain on joints.
Our Specialized Approach
- Foot Posture & Gait AssessmentEvaluate static foot posture, dynamic gait mechanics, and lower limb alignment to identify the impact of foot deformity on function.
- Intrinsic Foot Muscle StrengtheningStrengthen foot intrinsic muscles, tibialis posterior, and calf muscles to improve arch support and foot stability.
- Flexibility & Mobility WorkAddress calf, plantar fascia, and ankle mobility restrictions that contribute to altered foot mechanics and loading patterns.
- Orthotic & Footwear PrescriptionRecommend custom or off-the-shelf orthotics and appropriate footwear to correct foot alignment and reduce deformity-related pain.
- Proprioceptive & Balance TrainingImprove foot and ankle neuromuscular control through single-leg balance and functional stability exercises.
- Postural & Movement EducationEducate on foot loading strategies, activity modification, and long-term self-management to prevent pain and functional decline.
