How to deal with foot inversion in one-year-old babies

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Flatfoot and the Achilles tendon have no relationship to being loose. Flatfoot is primarily caused by loose ligaments in the foot, which cannot support the arch and the connection between the foot bones, leading to collapse and displacement. Flatfoot correction shoes are effective, with the best correction age being around 1 year old. The younger the age, the better the correction effect. While wearing corrective shoes, if massage and other exercises are also performed, the results will be even better.
