How to Fix Flat Feet Naturally
Flat feet refer to a condition when the arc of your foot collapses. This condition is also known as fallen arches. Many believe that this condition can only be fixed with a surgery. However, there are natural ways through which you can fix this problem. It may take more time than the surgery off course, but the results definitely show.
You should perform the necessary exercises and use the appropriate footwear to treat the problem. Using padded shoes has also been a successful way of countering this issue in recent times.

1
Choose the appropriate footwear
It is vital that you choose the appropriate footwear if you have flat feet. The shoes you use must not hurt your toes or heels. They should be lighter in weight and you should be comfortable when you put them on. It is always good to try the footwear and walk for a few steps before you buy it to make sure that it is comfortable and light. -

Stretching exercises
The best exercise is to stretch your feet so that form an arc at the bottom of the foot. Doing stretching exercises in a regular routine will definitely help in fixing flat feet. Consult your doctor so that he can recommend you the type of exercises that you require to get the problem solved. For example, slide your feet under a couch and lay down on the floor for a good five minutes. -

Use padded shoes
People who have flat feet generally use padded shoes to give their feet a proper shape. But you will have to consult your doctor before you use them as you may require some custom made padded shoes depending on your feet. -

Check weight and blood pressure on a regular basis
Although this may not necessarily fix your flat feet, checking your blood pressure and weight on a regular basis will definitely help in making the situation worse for you. If you are a diabetes patient, there is a chance that you are at a relatively high risk in comparison to other people.
