Dr. Courtney Conley
Dr. Courtney Conley is a national bestselling author, international educator, and one of the world's foremost authorities on foot and gait health. Her book, Walk, hit both the USA Today and Amazon bestseller lists, resonating with readers eager to understand the profound connection between foot function and whole-body health. The book's success has brought Dr. Conley to some of the most respected platforms in health and wellness media, including appearances on The Peter Attia Drive Podcast, Diary of a CEO, Feel Better, Live More with Dr. Rangan Chatterjee, as well as national television features on CBS Mornings and Fox & Friends.
Dr. Conley holds a Doctorate in Chiropractic Medicine and two Bachelor's degrees in Kinesiology and Human Biology. With nearly 25 years of clinical practice, she has worked with professional athletes from organizations including the Phoenix Suns, New York Yankees, Cleveland Browns, New York Giants, and San Francisco 49ers. She has also collaborated with medical experts across the country, addressing complex foot and gait challenges at the highest level of performance. She currently serves as Head of Patient Care at Total Health Solutions and Total Health Performance in Lakewood, Colorado—premier clinics known for comprehensive, rehabilitation-focused patient care where she is committed to helping people improve their lives one step at a time.
That same commitment led her to found and lead Gait Happens, an education enterprise leading a paradigm shift in foot health by empowering people worldwide to reclaim optimal foot function through science-backed training and protocols. Gait Happens offers a comprehensive ecosystem of resources — from professional education for practitioners to consumer training programs and personalized consultations with top-of-field specialists — all grounded in research and designed to deliver real, measurable results. With a focus on natural, preventative approaches to foot and gait health, Gait Happens has built a global community of individuals committed to moving better and living pain-free, offering a proven alternative to unnecessary surgical intervention through education and evidence-based care.
An internationally recognized speaker, Dr. Conley shares her expertise to clinicians and consumers alike through in-person and online lectures on foot mechanics and gait dynamics. Her work spans authorship, mentorship, patent and curriculum development, and the creation of pioneering foot and gait methodologies. Yet at the heart of every lecture, protocol, and patient interaction is the same driving belief: real strength starts from the ground up, and healthy feet are the foundation every body needs to move through life with confidence and ease.

Our Foot Health Kit is the perfect partner to our 12-week online Fit Feet program, but you can also use it as a standalone to support your foot and lower body function. This kit is intentionally designed by clinicians to ensure you have everything you need to relieve discomfort and build strong and mobile feet.
Gait Happens Toe spacers are designed to improve the spacing and alignment of the toes, which can help your feet be better able to assist with balance, shock absorption, and movement. The toe spacers assist in splaying (spreading / separating) the toes with a design that fits your daily life and can be worn on the go in proper footwear.
Pre-cut cork inserts designed to add more space or stiffness to your Gait Happens Toe Spacers.
By adding cork to the spaces between your 1st and 2nd or 4th and 5th toes we are able to provide more separation of the toes. This can be helpful if the spacers have a tendency to slide more or if you are looking for more spread out of your spacers.
