PODIATRIST DISCUSSES HOW TO FIX FLAT FEET
posted: Jul. 12, 2020.
According to Dr. Shweta Gaikwad Kharat, podiatrist and the founder of Head to Heal Advanced Physiotherapy and Podiatry Clinic, "We need to consider a lot of factors to rectify flat feet—your age, body weight, activity level and type of flat feet (whether it’s fixed or flexible). The process of correcting flat feet includes a combination of supportive footwear with orthotics and foot strengthening exercises."

"The ideal age of correcting flat feet is between 6 and 16 years; it gets very challenging once you are physically fully grown, but it’s not impossible," says Dr. Kharat.
