Why do my daughter walks on an angle with FLAT FOOT?

Resolved Question:

My 4 year old daughter has one flat foot and one arched foot, when she walks she walks on an angle with the flat foot and walks normal with the arched foot. Her ankle bone is also inward on the flat foot. Why is it like this? She said it doesn't hurt and has never complained about pain. The only pain she ever cried about is leg pain I think from growing. Please I'm so worried and scared. I feel awful I just noticed this. please help me I'm begging.

I understand your concern.



I have read your question with diligence.



I can understand your problem.You should not worry too much at this stage.



 



As a rule generally if a child does not have pain we do not recommend any treatment .Treatment is recommended for continuous pain or presence of severe deformity.Also best is to have treatment when she is 18 yr old & if flat foot is giving problem to her.Till then she smay use shoes with built in cushioned arch support.



Some other treatments like walking on naked feet in sand near the sea or sand with large granules.This will help in increasing muscle tone & mass at her inner aspect of foot.



 



She may also do some exercises like grasping the edge of a cloth at floor frequently with toes.



 



 



 



Hope this will help her.
