First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looked at whether doing exercises on sand can help children aged 6-11 with pronated feet (flat feet). Twenty kids were split into two groups: one did sand exercises plus towel curls, the other did towel curls only. Over 8 weeks, researchers measured foot posture, arch height, and balance. The goal was to see if sand training adds extra benefits for foot health.
