  • Strong From the Ground Up: Foot Health, Strength, Balance & Longevity for Midlife Women with Dr. Courtney Conley

    Strong From the Ground Up: Foot Health, Strength, Balance & Longevity for Midlife Women with Dr. Courtney Conley
    Dec 18 2025
    In this episode of The Body Pod, we sit down with chiropractor and foot/gait expert Dr. Courtney Conley to explore why foot health is the foundation of strength, balance, mobility, and longevity—especially for midlife women. Many women experience chronic pain, plantar fasciitis, poor squat mechanics, and increased fall risk without realizing the feet play a critical role.

    We break down how modern footwear, weak feet, loss of sensory input, and overreliance on orthotics can disrupt movement patterns, pelvic stability, hormone regulation, and nervous system function. Dr. Conley explains the powerful connection between the feet, pelvis, core, and brain, and why rebuilding foot strength is essential for aging well, preventing injuries, and maintaining confidence in movement.

    This conversation delivers practical, realistic strategies for improving foot strength and mobility, including footwear choices, toe strength exercises, calf training, balance work, and safe transitions away from orthotics. Whether you’re dealing with foot pain, instability, or want to build a stronger body from the ground up, this episode offers actionable insights to help women move better and stay resilient for decades.
