Is flat feet treatment no longer effective after the "golden age"?
With experience in successfully treating many cases of children over 7 years old with flat feet, Dr. Hang shared: "Children with flat feet can recover function without surgery even after the golden period if they apply a comprehensive treatment method, perform appropriate exercise combined with support devices such as shaping shoes, kinesio tape,...".
Myrehab Matsuoka has received many cases of flat feet over 7 years old and after physical therapy, the recovery results were good.
Baby Suti (10 years old)
Suti discovered flat feet at the age of 10, when the foot structure was almost fully developed. Treatment at this age will encounter many difficulties in recovery.
Doctor Myrehab Matsuoka relied on the results of the DIERS Pedoscan foot morphology assessment and clinical examination to develop a treatment regimen combining flat foot exercises , physical therapy and kinesio tape to balance the muscles. Specifically as follows:
- 3/2023: Baby Suti practices 3 sessions a week and applies Kinesio.
- May 25, 2023: The left foot shows signs of gradual improvement after 2 months of training.
- From June 15, 2023: Suti practices regularly from Monday to Friday every week.
- August 2023: DIERS pedoscan results show that the baby no longer has an X-shaped foot shape, the arch of the foot appears clearly.
After 6 months of persistent training at Myrehab Matsuoka, positive results have appeared as follows:
- The arch of the foot is more clearly formed than before.
- Baby can stand straight, balance with knees no longer rotated inward and pressed together.
- The baby can run fast, walk steadily without staggering, and leg movements have become more flexible.

Myrehab Matsuoka: Flat feet treatment with personalized itinerary according to Japanese standards
According to Dr. Hang, the physical therapy method at Myrehab Matsuoka focuses on movement combined with physical agents (electric pulses, infrared, soft tissue mobility, etc.) to speed up the recovery process while still ensuring patient safety.
In addition, children will be given kinesio tape to help shape the arch of the foot while sleeping, balancing asymmetrical muscle groups. The special feature of orthopedic shoes at Myrehab Matsuoka is that "made in Japan" is personalized to suit the child's medical condition.
When coming to Myrehab Matsuoka, patients will be thoroughly examined by doctors combined with modern DIERS - Pedoscan equipment imported from Germany. The equipment uses spectral light to evaluate the morphology and measure the distribution of foot pressure with high frequency waves, safely, effectively and accurately.
With the efforts of researching methods, applying modern technology and the enthusiasm of the Myrehab Matsuoka team, Dr. Hang believes that anyone with flat feet can walk and run easily on their own feet.
