Not all flat feet are created equal!
Join Functional Podiatrist Dr. Emily Splichal as she breaks down the different types of flat feet — and why simply labeling a foot as “flat” doesn’t tell the full story.
Learn how each type of flat foot responds uniquely to exercises, orthotics, and footwear, and discover a more functional approach to restoring balance, alignment, and strength.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe Pronation vs. Over-Pronation and Their Functional Implications.
- Learn how to assess and distinguish between midfoot collapse and rearfoot eversion.
- Explore how ligamentous integrity and intrinsic/extrinsic foot muscle strength contribute to arch support and overall foot stability.
- Understand the key structural and functional differences between rigid and flexible flat feet — and how each presents clinically.
- Learn how to incorporate exercises to address inversion and eversion challenges.
