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.

Dr. Emily Schilling began her career in the medical field at the University of Wisconsin-Madison where she graduated with a double major in Neurology and Nutritional Science.
From there, she continued on to receive her Doctorate of Chiropractic and Master's in Functional Nutrition from Parker University in Dallas, TX.
Dr. Schilling has always enjoyed being athletic and has participated in a number of sports throughout her life. Some of these include track and field, volleyball, and gymnastics. Currently, she is heavily involved in the triathlon community and has competed in multiple half Ironmans and recently finished her first full Ironman in Wisconsin '22.
Given her participation in high level sports, she understands the need for quality assessments of pain, targeted exercises and care based on the individual. In specific, she places an emphasis on the lower extremity and gait patterns. After sustaining a number of running related injuries, she wanted to know not only why they kept occurring but also how to treat and ultimately prevent them. After years of research and continuation in the sport, she has a wealth of knowledge that she would love to share with you! Her main goal is to show people that they can reach their goals in whatever activity they love. By looking at the body as a whole, her ambition is to create smart, sustainable changes in the system that not only allow people to complete those tough workouts, but also keep the longevity.
Apart from sports, Dr. Schilling also loves nutrition. Growing up as a type 1 diabetic, this was, and still is, her world. She is currently pursuing her license to become a Certified Nutrition Specialist. If you ever feel like chatting about race or training fueling recommendations, her door is always open!
