Holistic professionals will be interested in Gadd's thorough explanation of the mind-body connection in specific relation to the chakras and feet, and the concept that feet can be "read", just like palms. The A-Z Aspects of the Feet section spoke to me most loudly. I have always had flat feet but I had not considered that this might reflect the issues I have with support and grounding. "People with flat feet generally feel that they lack support in life or are not supported by those around them" says Gadd. "They feel vulnerable and ungrounded, and may very often have boundary issues. It is as if the foot collapses (or is drawn to the earth) in an attempt to feel grounded and supported."
A typical response to the problem of fallen arches might be to find a good local health clinic that deals with sports injuries. If they have an in-house podiatrist or chiropodist, you can be fitted for individual orthotics (inserts made specifically for your feet) to give you all the support you need. Alternatively, inserts can be bought off the shelf from large chemists and foot specialists like Scholl.
