Flat feet are common in young children as the foot's arch develops, and most outgrow it naturally by age five or six. Physiotherapy helps in cases where flat feet cause pain, stiffness, or affect walking and running.
When to see a physiotherapist: See a doctor or physiotherapist if flat feet come with pain, stiffness, frequent tripping, or if the arch hasn't developed by age seven.
