We’re happy to share a meaningful milestone behind the work we do at SpineCare Engineering.

Our founder has successfully completed the Master of Engineering Science Viva Voce, passing with minor corrections after years of research and study. This academic journey focused on understanding how children’s feet move, grow, and adapt, especially in conditions like flat feet.

Why does this matter? Because we believe children deserve care that is not based on guesswork, trends, or shortcuts. Continuous learning, research, and scientific validation help us design better assessments, clearer training plans, and safer long-term solutions for growing feet.

At SpineCare Engineering, we don’t stop learning after opening a centre. Science is an ongoing commitment, and every step we take in research is meant to bring clearer answers and better care to the families who trust us.

Thank you for supporting our journey toward better, science-driven foot health for children.

👀 Can you see the difference?
One photo shows uneven leg length.
The other shows balanced legs.
▫️
Many parents don’t realise this can be seen with the naked eye and it can affect how a child walks, runs, and loads their feet.
▫️
Early awareness matters.

This is an original, unedited video. What you see is exactly what was recorded, normal speed, no enhancement.
▫️
In efficient, fast running, the body naturally adopts an energy saving pattern.
▫️
One key indicator of this is a “butt-kicking” running posture, where the feet recover smoothly and efficiently instead of dragging behind.
▫️
This pattern does not come from forcing speed; it emerges when the feet, ankles, and gait mechanics finally work as a system.
▫️
This boy began the First Ray Control Method in June 2025 with one clear goal: to restore his flattened feet into functional, self supported arches.
▫️
For months, the focus was not on running fast, but on rebuilding control, coordination, and proper load transfer through the first ray.
▫️
Today marks a milestone.
▫️
For the first time, he was able to run in a true butt-kicking posture, and for the first time, he ran this fast.
▫️
Not because he was told to push harder, but because his body finally knew how to move efficiently.
▫️
This is what progress looks like.
Not instant results.
Not shortcuts.
▫️
But patient work paying off, when function returns, performance follows naturally.
▫️
This is not just faster running.
▫️
This is a child rediscovering what his body is capable of doing.

Knee Hyperextension (Back-Knee)
▫️
Some children have knees that bend slightly backwards when they stand straight. This is called knee hyperextension.
▫️
It usually happens because the knee joint is too soft or loose, meaning it does not hold itself firmly.
▫️
Soft or loose joints can occur in many parts of the body, not just the knee.
▫️
In this check, we compare two people:
▫️
1️⃣Normal knee: The knee stays straight and stable.

2️⃣Hyperextended knee: The knee bends backwards easily, and the calf can be lifted with very little effort.
▫️
If your child’s knee behaves like the second one, it means the knee is less stable and may be more prone to injury, especially during running, jumping, or sports.
▫️
The good news is that early detection allows proper training and guidance to improve control and reduce future risk.

Squatting is one of the hardest parts of our training, physically and mentally.
▫️
Many children find this stage challenging.
▫️
This young trainee stayed motivated and disciplined, continuing his home practice even during a blackout.
His improvement today is a reminder:
▫️
👉 Consistency beats intensity.
👉 Attitude matters as much as ability.

Can you spot the difference between flat feet running and normal running?

Can you tell the difference between low arch and flat feet?
Most parents can’t, and that’s completely normal.
▫️
This short video breaks it down simply and clearly.
▫️
💡 Understanding comes before action.

⚠️ Think Twice Before Surgery
▫️
A few years ago, a father brought his teenage son to see me.
▫️
The boy was born with Marfan Syndrome, a condition that makes him taller and larger than most children his age. Alongside that, he also had severe flat feet.
▫️
Hoping to help his son walk better, the father agreed to surgery on one foot, the right side; while leaving the left untouched, just in case.
▫️
Unfortunately, even after a long recovery, the right foot remained flat. The surgery didn’t achieve what they hoped for.
▫️
When I examined him, I explained that we couldn’t reverse what was done to the operated foot, but we could try training the left foot, the one that hadn’t been operated on.
▫️
After about 30 minutes of targeted muscle retraining, the boy managed to lift and control his left foot arch on his own.
▫️
His muscles were weak and his bones oversized due to Marfan Syndrome, so he couldn’t hold it long.
▫️
Still, that brief moment was a powerful sign, that the body could respond naturally, without surgical intervention.
▫️
Because of his special condition, we later decided not to continue correction training, keeping both feet flat was safer for him overall.
▫️
But I’ll never forget the look in his father’s eyes — a mix of relief, sadness, and realization.
▫️
Many orthopedic surgeons today rarely recommend flat foot surgery for growing children unless there’s severe pain or structural deformity that affects walking.
▫️
That’s because:
1️⃣The success rate is unpredictable, especially in young, developing feet.
2️⃣Recovery is long and may require casts or limited movement for months.
3️⃣Once done, it’s irreversible, the bone structure is permanently altered.
▫️
If your child has flat feet and you’re thinking about surgery, please pause and think twice.
▫️
In most cases, flat feet can be improved safely through the right type of muscle and gait retraining, no surgery, no implants, just science and patience.
▫️
At SpineCare Engineering, we’ve seen many children regain their natural arch through personalized training that helps their muscles “relearn” how to support the body properly.
▫️
👣 Sometimes, the right solution isn’t to cut or replace — it’s to retrain and restore.

🌍 “Will flat feet really fix themselves as children grow?”
▫️
Our latest research with 258 Malaysian school students aged 7–17 found that
👉 1 in 3 children’s flat feet did not improve with age.
▫️
In fact, many cases persisted into adolescence, leading to pain and reduced performance in sports.
▫️
The findings challenge the long-held belief that “they’ll grow out of it,” and highlight the urgent need for early screening and corrective training.
▫️
👣 For parents who think ahead — who ask why, not wait — this is your call to act before small issues become lifelong problems.
