Expert Physiotherapy for
Fallen Arches & Foot Pain
Flat feet can cause pain in your feet, knees, hips, and lower back — affecting how you walk, stand, and live. At Shape and Strength, we offer non-surgical, personalised flat feet treatment in Kolkata focused on fixing the root cause and restoring pain-free movement.
What Are Flat Feet?
Flat feet, or fallen arches, is a common condition where the foot's natural arch collapses, causing the whole sole to touch the ground. This affects how weight is distributed across your feet, leading to strain in other parts of the body.
Many people overlook flat feet, thinking they are not serious. However, untreated flat feet can cause chronic pain, joint stress in the knees, hips, and spine, and increased risk of injury over time.
At Shape and Strength, we offer effective flat feet treatment led by Dr. Yogitaa Mandhyaan — combining physiotherapy, exercise correction, and lifestyle changes to fix the problem from the root.
Types of Flat Feet
Understanding the type of flat feet helps in choosing the right treatment approach for your condition.
Flexible Flat Feet
The arch appears when sitting but disappears when standing. Common in children and young adults. Often improves well with physiotherapy and targeted exercises.
Rigid Flat Feet
The arch is absent even when not standing or bearing weight. Often more serious and may need focused, structured physiotherapy care for meaningful improvement.
Adult-Acquired Flat Feet
Develops over time due to injury, aging, or lifestyle factors. Common in working professionals and elderly individuals. Responds very well to early physiotherapy.

Why Flat Feet Should Not Be Left Untreated
Many people overlook flat feet. Over time, untreated flat feet can lead to serious complications affecting your entire body.
Important: Flat feet affect your entire body, not just your feet. Because your feet are the foundation, misalignment travels upward — causing knee pain, hip pain, and lower back pain. Early diagnosis and proper treatment prevents all of this.
Best Flat Feet Treatment Options in Kolkata
There is no one-size-fits-all solution. Each treatment plan is personalised to your type of flat feet, age, and lifestyle — addressing root causes, not just symptoms.
Physiotherapy (Core Treatment)
Physiotherapy is the most effective treatment for flat feet. It focuses on strengthening, correcting alignment, and improving movement long-term.
Custom Exercise Programs
Targeted exercises help rebuild the arch, improve muscle strength, and correct the mechanics of how you walk and stand.
Orthotic Support
Custom insoles are recommended to support the arch, reduce stress on joints, and improve your walking pattern during the recovery phase.
Lifestyle Modifications
Lasting results require changes to daily habits. Your plan will include guidance on footwear, activity correction, and long-term foot health.
Key Exercises for Flat Feet
These exercises strengthen foot muscles and help rebuild the arch. Always perform them under expert guidance — incorrect technique can worsen the condition.
Toe Curls
Strengthens the small muscles of the foot that support the arch
Heel Raises
Builds calf strength and improves arch support during weight bearing
Arch Lifts
Activates intrinsic foot muscles to gradually rebuild the natural arch
Foot Stretching
Reduces tightness in the plantar fascia and improves foot flexibility
⚠️ Note: Always perform flat feet exercises under expert supervision. At Shape and Strength, every exercise is customised and supervised for your specific condition.
Flat Feet & Body Pain Connection
Flat feet don't just affect your feet. Because your feet are the body's foundation, misalignment travels upward — affecting your entire posture and movement.

How Treatment Helps
Flat Feet Treatment for Different Age Groups
Our approach is tailored to your age, lifestyle, and the severity of your condition — from children to elderly patients.
For Children
Early correction is easier and more effective. Treatment focuses on muscle development, arch training, and establishing correct movement patterns before the bones fully set.
For Adults
Pain management, arch correction, and lifestyle changes are the focus. Working professionals benefit from gait correction and posture retraining alongside strengthening exercises.
For Elderly
Balance improvement, fall prevention, and joint protection are the key goals. Treatment is gentle, progressive, and designed to protect long-term mobility and independence.
