High Foot Arches

High Foot Arches (Pes Cavus) can come with as many problems as a flat foot. Due to the rigid nature of the foot, shock absorption can be an issue.

​

High Foot Arches can cause issues such as:

​

• Achilles tendonitis

• Peroneal tendinitis

• Plantarfasciitis

• Corns and callus particular forefoot and heels

• Forefoot pain

• Knee pain

• Back pain

​

​

Treatment

​

• Footwear assessment – ensure your shoes have good cushioning and arch support

• Orthotics - soft and flexible to aid the foot in shock absorption and redistribute pressures over a larger surface area.

• Mobilisation of stiff joints.
