Flat feet or Pes Planus is a term used to describe the lowering of the inner arch of the foot and can be developmental or acquired, fixed or flexible. Flat feet is not an isolated problem but can be related to the position of various bones within the foot such as the heel bone, joints in the mid foot or forefoot. When walking the position of the foot also influences the position of joints above such as the knees, hips and back causing cause pain and deformity within those areas. Treatment of flat foot maybe required if the position of the foot in new, progressive, painful or associated with another pathology
