Does a flat arch automatically mean a foot problem? | FitX Experts

Is a flat foot something to fix? Damien Howell, PT, DPT, talks with Jennie Chen, Co-founder of FitX, about why flat feet and "excessive pronation" are not diseases, what the US military found when it compared injuries across arch types, and why in his experience the high, rigid arch is the less forgiving foot that needs more cushioning. He also explains what arch height can and cannot tell you about which shoe to choose. Damien Howell is a Doctor of Physical Therapy with clinical and teaching experience in orthopedic physical therapy. His work includes gait and movement analysis, helping people understand how they move and what may contribute to recurring injuries. Part of FitX's Conversations with Experts series.
