I need some advice for daughter's flat feet

Hi 👋, im joining your group as im looking for some answers/advice about my daughters flat feet.
Long story, short
At 2 years old podiatrist said come back at 7. At 7 took 2 years to get appointment. At 9 podiatrist gave insoles that get updated yearly.
Feet are still flat as a pancake. Hips, knees ankles super flexible and painful. She cant walk for more than 10/15 minuits without pain. If she pushes herself the next day or sometimes 2 is a sofa day. I have taken her out of school as she was off more than she was there. And teachers made her do PE and other physical excersise, which put her on sofa the next day. Even running around the playground. This is appatently not a disability, is that true?
I am worried about her future.
Her insole update is coming up and i want to know what i should be adking the podiatrist,, it seems they are happy to give her the insoles and send her on her way.
Thankyou for reading.
Tracey.

Physio saw her regarding joints and just said she has hypomotility, and just to do the excersises that they gave. Which she did for a few months but in all honesty it did nothing for her and we let it slip.. I will look at getting her back to physio.
But yes will definitely go and talk to GP and make sure they put it on the record. I think I'm at the start of a long haul.
Its very frustrating when you feel doctors are not intetested.
So thank you, i will follow up on your advice
