Flat feet, acquired or genetic?

"Flat" Foot is commonly misdiagnosed. Very few people statistically are born with this type of foot. And those who are do not necessarily present any problems. The weak or collapsed foot, looks very similar at first glance, but is not natural.

Many are told that nothing can be done, and are recommended orthotics for life.

Through experience we know that this is certainly not the case. Fortunately there are more studies looking at the use of exercises in the treatment of foot problems. Three recent studies in 2015-2019 found significant improvements in symptoms foot posture, arch strength, toe strength and more benefits, using simple exercises found in our workshops during only 6-8 weeks.

Imagine what a consistent progressive program can do! The combination of our Fix your Feet and the BlackBoard online workshops are the greatest tools you'll have in you arsenal for building a strong a rigid arch again!

You can find these workshops here.

Modern Life

It begins in childhood — sitting at desks, limited play, and too much screen time.
As we grow, stillness becomes the norm. Chairs, shoes, cars, and screens replace natural movement.

By adulthood, our bodies are already adapting — in all the wrong ways. Muscles weaken, joints stiffen, and we move less without even realising it. Modern life doesn’t just reduce movement. It rewires us away from it.

Designed to Move

Our bodies were built for motion. From the ground up, everything about us is made to move — joints that bend and rotate, muscles that contract and respond, feet that adapt to uneven terrain. Movement is in our DNA.

But when we stop moving, the system breaks down. Joints stiffen. Muscles weaken. Posture collapses. And our bodies start to compensate in harmful ways — creating tension, imbalance, and pain.

Movement isn’t just natural. It’s necessary. Without it, we lose not just mobility, but function.

Reclaim Natural Movement

You don’t need a gym or hours of free time to start moving better — it begins with small choices, repeated daily. Walk during your lunch break. Take the stairs instead of the lift. Spend more time barefoot at home. Choose shoes that let your feet move naturally. These simple habits reconnect you with the way your body is meant to function.

Reclaiming natural movement isn’t about doing more — it’s about doing what’s right for your body. The more you move with intention, the more your strength, balance, and coordination return. Over time, movement becomes effortless again — not something you force, but something that flows.

MAKE THE CHANGE

Feeling stiff, unstable, or disconnected from how your body moves? If yes, this is your sign to start changing that.

Movement doesn’t have to be complicated. You just need the right tools, a bit of guidance, and a simple way to begin. That’s exactly what our Starter Bundle is designed for.

It’s everything you need to rebuild strength, stability, and mobility — starting at the feet and working your way up.

Small daily changes lead to lasting results. Your body is ready — now it’s your move.
