Flat Feet in Glasgow

You deserve a clear answer, not more guessing.
At The Hub Glasgow, podiatry, physiotherapy, diagnostics and rehabilitation sit together. That means we can look at the problem properly and guide you to the right next step.
From everyday foot care to more complex pain.
The Hub Glasgow brings podiatry, MSK assessment, in-house diagnostic ultrasound, gait thinking and rehabilitation together. That is useful when symptoms are painful, recurring, unclear or stopping you from walking, running, training or working comfortably.
What it can feel like
People with symptomatic flat feet may notice aching arches, tired legs, ankle pain, knee discomfort, shoe wear changes or symptoms that increase with standing, walking or running.
Common causes
- Normal foot posture variation
- Tendon overload
- Reduced strength or control
- Footwear that does not match the foot
- Changes in activity, training or body load
How we assess it
Assessment checks whether the foot is flexible or stiff, how it behaves during walking, whether strength or tendon load is involved, and whether orthotics would be useful.
Treatment options
- Strength and control exercises
- Footwear advice
- Custom or off-the-shelf orthotic advice where indicated
- Load management for painful tendons
- Gait assessment if symptoms are activity related
Questions people often ask
Do all flat feet need orthotics?
No. Orthotics are useful for some people, but the decision depends on symptoms, goals, foot flexibility and how the foot behaves under load.
Can flat feet cause knee or hip pain?
They can contribute in some cases, but they are rarely the only factor. A good assessment looks at the whole movement chain.
