For those uninitiated, a flat foot is basically when someone has feet without the arch in them. This means that one or both of the person's feet could be absolutely flat on the ground. And while you may think that this couldn't cause a lot of problem for you, it actually can. This happens because your weight is distributed evenly across your feet and having no arches can mean that you might end up with certain health issues later on because of the uneven distribution. So, here are some exercises that may come to your rescue if you have flat feet.

For this, you need to stand on steps with one foot higher than the other. Keeping your left foot one step above your right foot, lower your right foot until the heel is lower than the step. Then using your left foot for balance, raise your right foot heel as high as you can, focusing on the arch. Slowly lower it back down to the starting position and repeat this exercise in 2-3 sets for each foot.

This one is a rather simple exercise. You need to sit in a chair and then place one golf ball under each foot. Press down on these balls using your feet and then roll them back and forth for about 2 minutes. This exercise can help stretch the ligament that connects your heel to the front of your foot.

For this exercise, you'll need to stand on an even surface and then putting pressure on the front of your feet, raise your heels as high as you can. Take the support of a wall if you need and hold this position for about 20 seconds. Make sure to do 15-20 repetitions of this exercise 2-3 times in a day.

In this exercise, you'll need to stand facing a wall. Place your hands on the wall at eye level. Then place one foot behind the other and ensure that both the front of your feet and the heels are placed on the ground. While doing this you should feel a slight stretch in your back leg and hold this position for 30 seconds and rest for another 30 seconds. Repeat with the other foot.

For this exercise, you need to stand straight with your feet placed directly under your hips. Then start shifting the weight of your body to the outside arches of your feet and then roll your feet back down again. Repeat these exercise 2-3 sets, each set consisting of 10-15 repetitions.
