Ankle and Foot
Flat Arches, Gait, and Running Concerns
Foot or lower-limb symptoms related to flat arches, walking mechanics, gait changes, or running tolerance.
What this condition is
Flat arches are common and do not always cause symptoms, but foot posture, strength, footwear, load, and movement patterns can contribute to pain or reduced tolerance with walking and running.
How treatment can help
- We assess foot and ankle mobility, strength, walking or running mechanics, and the activities that bring on symptoms.
- Care may include targeted exercise, gait or running guidance, load management, and footwear or support recommendations when appropriate.
- The plan is built to improve comfort and confidence in the activities you want to do.
