Introduction: Loss of the foot arches and muscle weakening leads to flat foot. Pes planus can be either congenital or acquired. It is more likely that a flat foot is acquired during physical development. According to the level of the descent, we differentiate between pes planus, pes planovalgus, and pes valgus. Numerous factors influence the phenomenon of flat foot but the most common causes are inappropriate footwear, the profession, and genetic factors. Procedures: During the research, data for this paper was collected by researching the online electronic database “Scribd”, as well as analyzing books from the field of medicine, and editions of the prestigious journal Fizoinfo in the period from 2016 to 2021. The research was conducted in both Croatian and English language. Based on the research, a total of 40 papers were found on the given topic. After the papers were analyzed, only 15 of them were selected as suitable and therefore, included in this paper. Topic overview: Physiotherapy plays a marginal role in the treatment of numerous foot deformations, which also includes the treatment of the flat foot. The best form of treatment is kinesiotherapy, complemented by the application of additive apparatus like orthopedic cartridges, kinesio tapings, or by using electrostimulation. Orthopedic cartridges have proved to be the most effective for foot relief. Besides treatment, it is crucial to emphasize the prevention and early diagnostics which, later on, grants better results during the treatment. Conclusion: It is important to address the issues caused by the flat foot on time. The shared commitment of a physiotherapist and patient will result in improved health status and better quality of life of the patient, which is their ultimate goal
