Flat feet are not the problem. Fallen arches, or what we commonly call “flat feet”, are actually a warning sign that there is a problem, which is malalignment of the lower limbs, as the feet flatten and adapt to walking on modern day flat, unyielding surfaces.
Lower limb malalignment puts excessive stress on our joints, leading to excessive wear and tear and overuse injuries, such as heel spur, knee pain and lower back ache, and eventually osteoarthritis of the knee, hip and spine.
According to medical research, 4 in 5 people over age 65 in high-income countries suffer from osteoarthritis (OA). Those who develop OA are also getting younger².
