Foot Drop Test for Flat Feet
Assess the arch of the foot. The arch is the area indicated by red and green lines in the diagrams below. The diagrams indicate that the right arch (red) is lower than the left arch (green) on this person. Look at the inside of the foot and see if you can slide two fingers in the arch. You should comfortably be able to do so, if not the arch is collapsed and we recommend orthotics to correct this. You should see your chiropractor or podiatrist.
About Orthotics
Orthotics are inserts in your shoes that help correct your posture and muscle imbalances. Orthotics are created with a mold of your own foot and are tailor made to your own needs by compensating for your particular problems. Orthotics not only correct any problems in your feet but will also help correct related problem areas in your hips, back and neck, your centre of balance and your posture. You will find that you will notice a change in your swing once you start to wear your orthotics.
Note: Just keep in mind that sometimes wearing orthotics for the first time, it can take a few days or so to get used to them and your body might be sore in certain areas for a short period of time while your body adjusts to standing in a different position and posture.
We highly recommend Foot Balance (Australia) for providing you with customised orthotics.
