Question:

I am a dancer but i have flat feet and bad turnout. Is there anything i can do to fix this problem?

Whenever I'm in ballet i get very frustrated because i feel this is something i cant fix. When i try to stand in the best fifth position i can, my feet roll in, and then when i try to correct this my turn out gets even worse. I dont want to cause an injury because i pushed too far. When i try to turn out it often hurts my knees and hips (I'm not even pushing that much) If anyone knows of something i could do without causing injury that would be great. thanks!


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Heres is what you do. Take a can soda and put it in the freezer. Keep it in their long enough to get nice and cold but not tolong to where its gonna bust all over your fridge. Get you a piece of paper towel and put it on the floor and put the can on top of it laying down(dont put can right side up). Roll the bottom of your foot with that cold soda can. Back and Forth Back and forth(can has to still have soda in it and has to be cold or it defeats the purpose). Do this every day for the next two weeks and i guarantee you you will see a difference in the curve of your foot. The better the curve in your foot the easier it is to do all them ballerina poses because notice none of the good ballerinas are flat footed. Good Luck!
