Plantar heel pain is no exception.
It found that the foot posture of people with and without plantar heel pain was not significantly different when age, sex and body mass were taken into consideration.
To put it simply, the people with plantar heel pain didn’t have significantly flatter feet than the people without plantar heel pain.
In addition, the most commonly reported risk factors are associated with plantar heel pain rather than being confirmed as causes of plantar heel pain. In most cases, it probably develops due to a combination of factors affecting tissue stress, tissue capacity and the pain experience.
If your flat feet are part of the problem, they’re probably a small part, so there’s no need to worry.
You are better off putting some time and energy into learning about how to control what you can control.
