How to Correct HIGH ARCHES: 6 Exercises for Pes Cavus Foot Treatment

Talks way to fast for me I felt exhausted by the end. Slow down a bit us old guys want to know what you have to say 😅

So I was told that my high arches were caused by a tarsal coalition in both my feet. Do you think this would still help?

I’ve been struggling with Achilles tendon pain for 20 years, and lately it’s become worse. Just did the first exercise and immediately felt relief.

Wise. But talking too fast

I have a high arch issue bothering me for years. I am constantly sprain ankle and cant see to recoup enough to do exercises. Also, i actually sprain my ankle when I pronate it, so I always have to walk/support it to stay in a supination stand. I definitely feel my ankle really weak but cant get to the point to be able to exercise it because of the pain.

Well im rare least i got that going for me

What an incredible density of information in that video. Thank you very much. I have high arched feet and can’t even remember the age I could still squat down with heels on the ground. I’m afraid my arch has a genetical origin. I will definitely give this program a go, since it’s very different from what I’ve tried over the last years to correct my foot position. Everything I did so far was based on dorsiflexion and calf stretching. Seeing all the tibialis stretches I think I did it all wrong :D

Is it normal to have sharp medial malleolus pain when trying to dorsiflex/pronate while weight bearing? Also how long before I start to see improvement?

I was forced to use orthopedic boots when I was little and it deformed my feet, until very recently I realized I've had this condition all my life, it has affected my performance in sports: it stiffened my body and affected my mechanical function, even though I have always been promising and a decent performer. It made me fall into a very pernicious habit of using shoes extremely small, I mean like 4 to 5 sizes smaller. One thing I can observe is that in order to compensate the high arc I rotated the legs and it gave the impression that the ark was normal, this tampered me to walk properly and gave my feet a tubby appearance... all in all, I thought I had very short wide feet, because I was gaslighted into it basically, and it ended up the opposite, long, narrow and hollow ones. Thank you for you advice.

Great video bit as a pedorthist I totally disagree with the comment that pes cavus is very rare. 30-35% of my patients are pes cavus

Thank you

Very helpful. Ankle has bothered me over a year. Finally a doctor told me I have high arches. I like it when I can do something about problems.

Every word mattered. This is what I needed to hear. Wasn't familiar with anatomy terms but that's what pause is for. I hope this helps. It all started with 45 minutes holding tension in my ankle and didn't realize it until I could hardly walk when I got up from the work chair. I didn't realize how seriously off kilter my ankle was after that. Within a year, I broke the foot. Dr. refused to provide physical therapy even though I was in the walking cast 6 months. My arch got higher and higher and a cyst developed o n the outside of the lower calf. Then I had a car collision with my back rotated which messed up a vertebrae on that side as well as my hips. Plantar fasciitis and a deep neuroma followed. Each aspect responds to treatments (the cyst, the neuromas, the fasciitis) but I'm tired of the whole thing so thank you for the suggestions. I really appreciate it. I don't want to have foot, hip or balance problems as I get older and more vulnerable so I think this will help. You thought you talked a lot, ha ha. I'll check out your ankle video too. Thanks!

Do you know if their are acupuncture points for high arches? Thanks.

So good thank you!

this is great by you're talking so fast. its hard to follow along. calm down

Hi! I broke my ankle in the end of 2016 (I know it is been long) Thanks to the very poor management of the injury I have that condition now, which is not really doing too much with my daily life, I can walk, run, cycle and most of the things that everyone does but since the injury my ankle is just not the same. Could a High Arche also cause limit in some of the movement in the ankle? Or is it something completely different?

Awesome. thank you!
