About this episode
Dr. Courtney Conley is one of the leading voices in foot health and human movement — and this conversation will completely change the way you think about your body from the ground up. In this episode, we dive into why modern footwear and modern life may be weakening our feet more than we realize, why so many people assume pain is just a normal part of aging, and how strengthening your feet can play a major role in the way you move throughout your life.
We talk about the hidden role our feet play in everyday movement, the surprising importance of toe strength and mobility, how chronic foot pain develops, and the simple daily habits that can help you move and age better. Dr. Courtney also shares her own story — from ballet dancer and runner dealing with constant foot pain to becoming a specialist helping people rebuild strength from the ground up.
This episode is packed with practical takeaways on foot health, movement, strength training, walking, footwear, longevity, and why being proactive about your body now matters more than waiting until pain shows up later.
