High Arch / Cavus Foot: Assessment, Treatment & Recovery
A high-arch (cavus) foot can concentrate pressure on the heel and forefoot and may be associated with instability, calluses or an underlying neurological condition.

Common reasons for assessment
- Repeated ankle sprains or instability
- Pressure pain beneath heel or forefoot
- Calluses or toe deformity with a high arch
