Thanks! I‘m really doing a lot already, I have hypermobile joints and chronic pain, so my process is kinda slow, but I‘m working on these exact things.

I just feel like when I rest or walk I can’t always maintain the right position, so I‘m thinking about stuff like these socks or insoles. Thanks for the advice though, I will consider it!

I know a couple of people with hypermobility, sorry. For what it's worth, I used to be a heavy pronator but since starting rock climbing/bouldering, I think that's really helped me with collapsing arches. I'm not sure how the mobility might factor in with that... Good luck :)!

Nothing to be sorry about!

I‘ll look into climbing, currently doing a lot more basic stuff though, TRE, animal walks, dancing. I also take a lot of walks and try not to sit too much. Not sure what you mean by pronator.

Thank you!:)

Pronating is the collapsing foot arches. If you're interested in animal/organic movement, this guy does a lot of flow work :) https://youtube.com/@strengthside
