Will this correct flat feet?

Of course it will! Did you really need to ask???? LOL

The Youtube version

A few times in the past someone popped me the question…. “Will this help flat feet?”

And so I of course say that it does. Then I give them some abbreviated version of my story over the years.

And they listen politely.

They remark something like… “Wait.. you’re telling me my teeth relate to my flat feet?”

I mean this sounds even more extreme than Chinese medicine where they correlate teeth with various organs.

And then a good percentage of the time they probably go away thinking i’m nuts. lol

This is actually the effect i enjoy getting. I become very predictable in my answers and so my friends & family don’t bother asking me questions that conflict with my belief system anymore. I’ve annoyed them into submission baby!!!!!!! hahaha

Anyway i’m going to try capture most of my thoughts on the subject in this post.

What are flat feet?

Flat feet, or fallen arches, occur when the arches of the feet collapse, causing the entire sole to contact the ground.

This common condition can lead to various symptoms including foot pain, ankle swelling, and difficulty with prolonged standing or walking.

Many people experience lower back pain and poor posture at the same time. And many misguided doctors say that this is due to the misalignment flat feet can cause.

I am luckily free of such foolish beliefs.

Flat feet, back pain and poor posture are just various facets of the same compensation. Which will also have a relationship to what is happening with the jaw/teeth… ie. they have likely flattened their curve of spee.

The ‘perceived’ cause of flat feet and treatments

Traditional modern medical thinking attributes flat feet to various factors including genetics, obesity, injury, and aging.

Common treatments range from orthotic inserts and supportive shoes to physical therapy and, in severe cases, surgery.

Some doctors recommend exercises to strengthen the arch muscles, while others focus on managing symptoms through pain medication and lifestyle modifications.

I of course think that is all complete and utter BS. And I look forward to a day when all of these foot doctors are wiped from the face of the earth and scorned as being a foolish time in our history.

Almost as ridiculous as when we bled people to ‘cure’ them back in the late 1700’s.

I grew up thinking I had flat feet

From childhood flat feet were just part of my reality.

I consistently wore out the inside of my shoes and walked pigeon-toed.

My mother invested in professional shoe inserts throughout my youth, but nothing seemed to change anything. It was just something I learned to live with, like many others with this condition.

And rather I had to listen to her repeating the phrase “walk with your feet out” constantly. Then i’d have to force myself to walk awkwardly so that it appeared as if my feet were pointing out.

Oh mom… how misguided you were. But don’t worry… I forgive you.

But not completely… i’m still going to annoy you with my philosophies every time i see you ;)

But then my flat feet corrected with these biomechanics

During my recovery process in 2016, I noticed something unexpected - the soles of my feet would experience painful releases, like long-held muscle spasms finally letting go.

I'd then stretch my feet back and forth, hearing cracking sounds similar to knuckle-popping.

After these releases, my feet felt more flexible, and I walked differently.

Most surprisingly, I was developing actual arches where there had been none before.

I also realized it was less painful to walk on rocks at the beach, which i found very odd at the time.

And by going in circles for years afterwards… I locked in the relationship

Through my ups and downs with these biomechanics, I noticed a clear pattern with my feet.

During periods when my overall structure was poor, walking on rocky beaches became painful again, and my arches would flatten.

When I improved structurally, the foot releases would return, followed by improved arch development and less sensitivity to walking on rocks.

This cycle repeated several times, confirming that this was a repeatable relationship. A relationship that was probably not specific to me.

I also noticed a similar relationship with kicking a heavy bag with my shins. When i was healthier it was not painful. When i was unhealthy the shins were just far more sensitive.

Flat feet are just a function of these biomechanics

I am now pretty sure that your foot arches are just another aspect of these biomechanics.

As you get better they improve. As you get worse they get flatter.

When i told this to a friend awhile back he was like "Ken.. here you go again attributing everything to your teeth."

But think about it.. who's being more logical really?

To me it's like when you pull one end of a towel. All parts of the towel move with it.

And so if you see a crease on the opposite end it's pretty clear that you pulling the towel created that.

It would be far less logical to think... oh that towel has been sitting there for a few hours and it aged so that it is why it has these new creases.

Closing thoughts

Having seen this pattern replicated in a number of others over the years… I'm at the point now where I’m confident that anyone who follows this biomechanical process long enough will see improvement in their foot arches.

Because this stuff will move and impact literally every area of your body.

You don't just move your jaw or change your bite. You change the entire system.

This is one of the biggest lessons i've learned with my experiments over the years and there is literally never an exception in my view.

The body always moves like a single system. Anything that you see changing in one part will have ripple effects throughout the entire system. Including your teeth.
