Is the flat foot really not suitable for running?
What is a flat foot?
Simply put, a flat foot is the absence of a normal arch, or the arch collapses, as compared to a normal foot.
Flat feet can be divided into four types: congenital, pathological, traumatic and fatigued.
Congenital flat feet:
The general symptoms are not obvious, and the symptoms gradually appear with increasing age and weight. Can not walk long distances, pain in the soles of the feet, and pain in the feet;
Acquired flat feet, traumatic flat feet and fatigued old flat feet:
In addition to the symptoms of congenital flat feet, it also causes a chain reaction of each joint, such as knee and lumbar abnormalities, the knee joint is obviously buckled, that is, the "O" leg. In addition, knee dislocation can also cause discomfort in the lumbar vertebrae, resulting in lumbar strain.
So can the flat foot run in the end?
In fact, as long as the right shoes are selected and the correct running posture is adopted, the flat-footed runners will not feel too strenuous during the running.
But even then, in order to run better, it is indispensable to further correct the adverse effects of flatness. Compared with surgical correction, we are still more conservative treatment.
Choose the right foot pad and corrective shoes
Foot pads are a more common method of correcting flat feet, which can relieve pain and support the arch. In addition, wearing hard-soled shoes can also provide support for the foot. However, an orthosis such as a foot pad does not correct the talion ectopic, and can only play a role in improving the flat foot.
Flat-footed and painful running friends, it is best to wear flat-foot corrective shoes for correction when walking. Corrective shoes should meet the following requirements: the heel and the waist are narrow, and the upper is tight.
Girls try to wear high heels as little as possible, because high heels will transfer the weight of the human body to the forefoot, increasing the pressure on the arch and easily augmenting the flat foot.
In addition, people with flat feet should pay more attention to the health of the feet, do not stand or walk for a long time, adjust the working posture in time to prevent fatigue.
