Who is this Program for?

Anyone with flat feet (pes planus) or fallen arches, who wants to improve their foot strength and posture. 

Orthotics are a great tool and we prescribe them all the time. 

However if you don't want to depend on them for the rest of your life, you CAN improve flat feet and fallen arches with appropriate strengthening and rehabilitation exercises.

-The program advances weekly as you gradually become more advanced. 

-All exercises have accompanying video links you can access for LIFE to help you perform with them with the correct technique

-Unlimited email correspondence with the author, should you have any questions.

Who am I?

A physiotherapist with over 16 years of experience treating musculoskeletal conditions in private clinics and hospitals in Australia.

Why did I create this Program?

This program is for those who are unable to attend their local physiotherapy clinic due to Covid-19 or for any other reason, or for those who simply prefer to rehab their own injuries at home.

This program is evidence based, meaning it follows the best science on the topic to give you the best possible chance of recovery.

Equipment Required:

2-3 elastic resistance bands are useful with some of the exercises. If you are unable to source these, email adam@kwinana.physio and we can supply these for you for a small charge. 

If not, Theraband, Sanctband or other brands are generally available in most retail sporting stores or online for under $10.
