Foot exercises and taping for low back pain with flat feet
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether simple foot exercises combined with special tape on the foot can reduce low back pain in people whose feet roll inward too much (a condition called hyper-pronation). It may help if you have had back pain for months and also have flat feet.
