Helloo Lizboh,

The time of occurence to the time of recurrence and persistent flat foot is really long. At 2 years it would have been easier to correct with electrical stimulation, effective muscle and tendon facilitation programs and functional re-education with some gait therapy. The massaging machine you purchased could have helped as you stated but you wouldn't have been able to pick correct muscles that were affected when your child had what would probably be injection palsy. The flat foot is still persistent because the muscles that control fine and complex movement in the foot were not strengthened enough to make your child walk with a functional gait. There are several things you could do now, you will need to see a podiatrist or a physiotherapist with a good experience in this matter to have a proper examination, physical and x-ray scan to make you decide whether your child will need more muscle strengthening, medial arch or long arch for the foot and gait training. Last option, your child might need a foot surgery to re-align the foot components.
