Foot Health & Movement Longevity | Barefoot Benefits for Life

Learn how going barefoot and improving your foot health can actually have long term benefits to reduce pain and improve overall function in this new interview with Doctors of Chiropractic and foot health experts, Dr. Courtney Conley and Dr. Jen Perez of Gait Happens. We explore common misconceptions about orthotics, the importance of functional foot strength, and how a holistic approach—addressing mobility, stability, balance, and power—can prevent pain and improve quality of life.
