Flat Feet don’t need treating unless they need treating. How often have you heard that paradox? For too long flat feet have been Ill understood and often poorly treated - but that’s all about to change as some of the world’s greatest minds come together to reimagine this complex orthopaedic and biomechanical enigma.
