Feet General

It turns out that my shit is all fucked up.

Had a fitting for running shoes and confirmed that my arches are dangerously low. Which is one of the factors behind my terrible squat and achilles issues.

Are there any sound protocols for redeveloping proper arches in the feet?

Lel the reaction

Not quite Mr bot

Should my knees be touching at all when my feet are together or do I have slight valgus?

Do you also have

Yes to flat feet and am fixing my pelvic tilt. Knees are good luckily.

Currently strengthening core and gluts but don't know how to work out muscles in the foot

kek this

I am both flat footed and duck footed. My knees are fucked from this. What do?

Im all sorts of fucked. this is me standing relatively normally. I have super tight hamstrings that I cant seem to stretch out. Lower back pain and neck pain. help before i an hero

try stretching calves. Also the inner part of the hamstring with bent knee, one leg at a time

At least for me, it stems from core and hip weakness which comprises everything else.
Core is weak so hips don't rotate correctly which causes knees to knock in which collapses the arch.

What I don't understand though is how to create an arch again. It's not like a muscle normally that just gets bigger

please response physiocels

>having knock-knee
kek
never gonna make it

But is it knock-knees? I mean when feet are completely together, touching.

As adults, people vary as to whether they have straight legs, bowlegs or knock knees. You can test yourself by straightening your legs and then bring them together. If your knees touch first, then you have knock knees, with the space between your ankles representing the severity. If your ankles touch first, then you have bowlegs, with the space between your knees representing the severity. If both your knees and ankles touch at the same time, then your legs are straight. Most adults have mild bowlegs with a small space between their knees when their ankles touch.

Both touch so straight then? If I had valgus I would not be able to touch ankles, right?

My ankles are like an inch apart so its not too bad right?

when I stand I look like this as well, is there anything to fix it?

Been trying hip stretches, hamstring and back stretches

Usually happen when one leg is slightly long than the other. Go to a sports doctor and get measured. Also, for arches, get a tennis ball and stand on it. Basically like "foam rolling" you foot. Once the tennis ball is not enough, use a lacrosse ball or baseball.

Just rolling it out?

Read something about trying to pull a towel with your toes, and I have no idea how the hell that's supposed t owork

LOL the sign was shouting at him for so long man

I had fallen arches when I was a twelve year old fat fuck.
I got insoles for my shoes and it didn't hurt to walk after a while. Always had to walk on my tippy toes because my arches were so tight.

Lost all the weight and started squatting and shit and by the time I was 15 I didn't have to wear them anymore. 18 now and I still don't wear them.

My physiotherapist gave me all these meme exercises to do but I was too lazy to do that shit everyday.

Squats and deadlifts will literally fix this, add in a bit of mild stretching and you'll be fine.

I probably develop atleast 3 different body dismorphia disorder issues per week just by scrolling through here, I already walk manually, breath manually, hold my head manually, hold my jaw and tongue manually, now I'll even have to stand manually thanks Jow Forums

It's not a problem if your arches/Achilles are set properly.

You can go to a proper athletics shoe store and they can test you for everything.

you might have tendonosis of the tibialis posterior. are you also absolutely shit at balancing on one leg when you're on your toes, but okay at it when you're flatfooted (pun not intended)? then you've got tibialis posterior tendonitis. It runs behind the tibia, deep in your posterior leg compartment. your achilles is over it/ but you can usually palpate it by squeezing deep into the sides of your achlles tendon. The tibialis posterior muscle runs till about mid leg and then its corresponding tendon runs on the inside of your ankle bone, and into your arch.

look into posterior tibialis rehab

Anyone here ever fracture their ankle? How long did it take you to heal? Think I might have had a minor fracture about a month ago, wasn't able to walk for a day and still can't run but almost all other function is back.

it was probably just a sprain, but regardless it really depends on what you're doing with it. If you stretch it out every day or at least before doing activities and stop doing activities when it hurts, it should be back to normal in due time. i personally have sprained my ankle 3 times and fractured it once and it has never returned back to it's normal state because i treat my ankles like shit.

The fuck, I have this too.
I actually do have to walk manually, using muscles in my feet to keep them upright rather than collapsed inward (honestly, I thought this was just bad overpronation).
Blew my mind when someone told they don't have to stabilize their feet like that, and just walk "normally".
Even when I was in the best shape of my life hiking-wise, it was excruciatingly painful to walk more than 7 or 8 miles.

Yeah everyone I describe the symptoms to say that it was just a sprain, no way I fractured it and could still walk. Only thing that makes me second guess that opinion is that when I injured it I heard a pop/crack.

Walk an hour outside barefoot everyday this will fix you swear to zyzz had same problem myself

No. It depends on the nature of his collapsed arches. If its due to atrophy of certain muscles then it can be fixed, if it is a problem with his bone structure like it is for many people like myself it can never be fixed without surgery. Alot of people here are giving half baked DIY fixes without even distinguishing between the two
