Flat Feet Treatment in Bursa

Flat foot means the arch on the inner side of the foot is lower than usual, or collapses under load. The most important fact is this: flat foot is not a disease on its own. It is present in a significant proportion of the population and the great majority causes no symptoms at all. What needs treating is not the shape of the foot but the pain and loss of function that may accompany it. In Bursa Nilüfer, Fzt. Bilal Kara first establishes whether the complaint really relates to the arch.

When is it needed?

  • The ankle rolling inward while running
  • A complaint appearing in the knee or hip after running
  • Quick fatigue in the intrinsic foot muscles
  • A complaint persisting despite using insoles
  • Foot/knee tightness increasing as running volume rises

What we do

  • Assessing intrinsic foot muscles, calf and hip strength together
  • Examining running technique and the load chain
  • Continuing running with surface, tempo and volume adjusted
  • A graded strengthening programme
  • Opening up progress through regular measurement

Flat Feet in Bursa Nilüfer

Fzt. Bilal Kara provides one-to-one care for flat feet at the clinic in Bursa Nilüfer — in Fethiye Mahallesi, on Kelebek Sokak, at a central point of Nilüfer, opposite the Fethiye covered market.

It is a short trip by car or public transport from İhsaniye, Odunluk, Balat, Özlüce, Ataevler, 23 Nisan and the surrounding areas. Every session is one-to-one, assessment-based and tailored to you.

If your foot rolls inward while running

The ankle rolling inward during running affects the load chain upward: the knee drifts in, hip control breaks down. Even if the complaint starts in the foot, it can appear in the knee or hip. Insoles alone don't change this chain.

Fzt. Bilal Kara addresses the intrinsic foot muscles, calf and hip strength together. Running isn't stopped entirely; it continues with surface, tempo and volume adjusted, and is opened up gradually as measurements progress.

Why isn't an insole enough on its own?

Do you need to stop running?

No; running continues with load management, without stopping entirely. The goal is reducing the complaint by strengthening the load chain.

Frequently asked questions

Can I keep running with flat feet?

Usually yes; running continues with surface, tempo and volume adjusted, and the programme is built gradually around that.

Do I need special running shoes?

That decision is made through individual assessment; what really matters is intrinsic foot, calf and hip strength.

Is my knee pain coming from my flat feet?

It's possible; the ankle rolling inward affects the load chain upward and can cause a knee complaint. Assessment clarifies this link.
