This study will be carried out with a Randomized Controlled Prospective Study design. For this study, individuals between the ages of 18-25 years with a fall amount of 10 millimeters or more according to the navicular fall test and flexible pes planus according to Jack's finger lift test will be informed about the study and consent for participation will be obtained. Demographic information of the individuals who accept participation will be collected. This study, 2 randomized groups of young adults with flexible pes planus will be formed and one group will be applied an exercise program including only foot core exercises, while the other group will be applied self myofascial release with foam rollers, which is a myofascial release method, in addition to foot core exercises. Both the experimental and control groups will receive a program consisting of 7 different foot core exercises, each of which will be progressed gradually for 6 weeks, 3 sets of 10 repetitions per day. A brochure for the exercises will be prepared and given to the participants to do at home. In order to follow up the exercise of the participants, the individuals will be called weekly during this period and exercise follow-up will be performed. The experimental group will also be planned to perform 60 seconds of myofascial release on each tissue on the thoracolumbar fascia, iliotibial band, hamstring, gastro-soleus, peroneals and plantar fascia 2 days a week for 6 weeks with foam roller, which is a self-myofascial release method. The amount of load on the tissue will be determined by instructing the individuals to apply the maximum amount of load possible. At the end of six weeks, the initial evaluations will be performed again on all individuals and the measurement results will be analyzed.
