Customized orthotics can be extremely effective in managing symptoms of flexible flatfoot in children. Flexible flatfoot, a condition where the arch flattens while standing but reappears when not bearing weight, can often cause foot fatigue, pain, and limited activity in affected children. Custom insoles provide the necessary arch support to maintain proper foot alignment, reducing strain on the feet and lower limbs. Insoles help alleviate discomfort and promote more natural movement by redistributing weight and enhancing stability. With consistent use, custom arch supports can improve posture and reduce muscle strain, helping to prevent further issues as children grow. Additionally, the increased comfort and support often encourage greater activity levels, supporting healthy physical development. If your child has flexible flatfoot and is uncomfortable performing activities, it is suggested that you visit a podiatrist to discuss whether custom orthotics can help their developing feet.
