Flat feet are not only about the feet

Flattening of the foot arches threatens posture and can lead to scoliosis. The load shifts to the knees, hips and spine, shock absorption suffers — hence joint wear and degeneration.

For a while the body compensates for the wrong foundation, but the reserve runs out: back and neck pain, headaches, dizziness, joint discomfort and a changed gait appear. Flat feet are also one of the causes of swelling and varicose veins — the calf venous pump works worse.

The main idea: a fallen arch is not a local problem (except after trauma), but a link in the compensation chain of the whole body. Often the cause lies in the skull, spine or internal organs. So I look for the root cause instead of just adjusting the foot.

The work is gentle and painless — on the feet, leg joints and spine: releasing spasms, normalising blood flow and helping the body distribute the load correctly.
