pes planus(flat foot)
manual mobilization of the first metatarsal
When arch pain happens in most of our feet, a conservative approach and local rest can sometimes work to reduce pain. However when that pain persists it’s time to see the professionals at Progressive Sports Rehab. A course of balance and strength exercises of the intrinsic muscles of the foot as well as arch support and icing modalities will be initiated. Manual techniques can be used to improve the mobility of the first metatarsal, and navicular bones which comprise the top of a triangle that should be formed to create an elevated arch in the foot.
