In this podcast, we're going to talk about arch supports and how they could actually make someone's flat feet worse. My theory is that the cause of flat feet is either a manganese deficiency at birth or a vitamin D deficiency at birth. I believe this could set a child up to have either a weakened structure of the arch or a bone malformation.

Over time, I have found that stretching and working on the front part of the leg and the top of the foot brings much more relief than working on the parts that are in pain, like the under part of the leg or the bottom of the foot.

If the bottom of the foot is cramping, by stretching the muscles in the top part of the foot that stem up into the front part of the leg, you will send signals to the muscle that's cramping. These signals will relax the muscle.

What you could do for flat feet:

1. Stretch the feet (try my unique flat feet stretch)

2. Get a foot massage (have them work not only on the foot but the front part of the lower leg as well)

3. Allow your feet to strengthen on their own (take the arch supports out)

0:52.1	Now growing up I had flat feet really bad and for years I tried every single
0:59.5	art support, custom orthotics, you name it.
1:02.8	And reflecting back on the actual cause of flat feet,
1:06.2	my theory is that it's either a manganese deficiency
1:10.0	at birth or a vitamin D deficiency that sets up a child with either a weakened
1:16.9	structure of the arch or a bone malformation. I had constant problems with my feet through sports, track and field, wrestling, and even the Army.
1:28.4	I really never felt a lot of relief when I would have this art support.
1:31.6	They take a mold of your flat foot,
1:33.8	and then they customize an orthotic
1:36.8	that matches the fallen arch.
1:39.1	All I know is it didn't work for me
1:41.2	as I was constantly massaging that arch to try to get some relief.
1:44.8	I think it was like I was 22 years old where I went to someone that did foot massage and
1:51.9	oh my goodness did I get some relief with that.
1:55.0	But they actually really worked the muscles on the front part of the
2:00.0	chin which was extremely painful.
2:03.6	But when they were done, it was like I was walking on air.
