Dr. Courtney Conley: Dementia, 4,000 Steps, Big Toe & The 6th Vital Sign
What was said
"They will tell you too, in all of our, through college, through all of our training, they're building jet engines of bodies on paper airplanes of feet."
Dr. Conley revealed that elite professional athletes she has worked with consistently lack basic foot strength and mechanics despite years of high-level training. She argued that ignored foot health is causing non-contact injuries to rise across professional sports, contradicting the assumption that elite athletes receive comprehensive training.
