I have noticed recently that my arches under load ar much fallen Im a 52 year old male Strongman competitor so i do put extreme loads through my feet which may well be a contributing factor to my fallen archjes However, my concern is the sciatic pain i get, it has been treated from the top (back) down rather than from the foot up, and i am now thinking its possible from the foot up that needs treating I have tight calves and have recently started on stretching both calf muscles, i also have piriformis tightening which again may be caused by the fallen arch and pronation in the foot, rather than from Piriformis syndrome or other upper back issue I was thinking maybe the best option was to look at using some sort of Arch suppoert in the first instance and then looking at exercises to sart raising the arch naturally What would be the suggested route?? would my Plan work, using the support whilst walking/training then working on building arch strength like any other exercise i would do?? appreciate the help
