Chronic calf spasm, flat feet

I suffer (a lot) for this debilitating condition, mainly due to flat feet.

I found this excellent thread http://www.letsrun.com/forum/flat_read.php?thread=1448905, which goes on forever, so I try to consolidate here the possibile treatment:

ASHTANGA YOGA, SUN SALUTATION :

Diet: have Potassium Chloride, bananas, avoid coffee and alcohol

RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation): cycles of hot and cold with massage using heating balm creams

deep tissue massage, advanced release technique

use the right (?) kind of running shoes - sometimes arch support helps

run/walk bare foot

warm up (bicycle) before exercise

strengthen your calfes and adductors:
