Foot stretch and exercise for young adults with flat feet
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study tests whether a simple treatment—releasing the plantar fascia (a band of tissue on the bottom of the foot) combined with foot exercises—can improve movement quality in young adults with flat feet. It aims to help you move better and feel more stable.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at whether people with flat feet have differences in their diaphragm (a breathing muscle), balance, and foot pressure compared to people with normal arches. It may help understand how flat feet affect overall movement and stability.
This study tests whether basic body awareness therapy can help people with flexible flat feet (when the foot arch flattens under weight but returns when not standing). If you have flat feet without other foot problems, you may qualify.
This study tests if special exercises with biofeedback (a tool that helps you see muscle activity) can improve flexible flat feet. It may help you if you have flat feet that are not fixed in position.
This study compares two non-surgical treatments—custom shoe inserts and a foot-strengthening exercise program—to see which one improves running form more in runners with flat feet (pes planus). If you are a recreational runner age 18–30 with flat feet and no recent injuries, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether a special movement-based technique can help reduce flat feet in school-age children. Flat feet can affect how kids walk and play, and this therapy may help improve foot arch height.
This study tests whether special exercises that strengthen the small muscles in your child's foot—with or without visual feedback on a screen—can improve flat feet and balance in children ages 7–12. Flat feet are common in kids and usually improve on their own, but this trial explores whether targeted training helps.
