The most common foot compliant is heel pain and golfers are no different. However, heel pain is not a medical diagnosis and I often find that the cause of the pain in the golfing foot is different from other groups of patients.

Once the arches of the foot are working well, it is then worth looking at the bigger muscles in the shins as these play a vital part in the foots interaction with the rest of the body and the ground.

There are plenty of upper and lower body exercises to improve how hard you hit the ball, but many forget to do specific exercises for their feet.

The answer is a resounding yes! This is because orthotics reduce unwanted movement between the foot and the inside of the shoe. Although golf shoes are great at reducing the movement between the ground and the sole of the shoe, they can’t stop the foot from twisting and flattening.
