Dr. Courtney Conley

Es war eine Mission von mir, das herauszufinden und herauszufinden, wie ich persönlich die Möglichkeit habe, weiter zu bewegen, aber dann auch die Möglichkeit habe, hoffentlich andere Menschen zu helfen.

It changed my life. I think whenever we have a passion, there's always this quest personally behind it. And so I saw what it did for me. And then over the past 20 years, being able to see what it has done for my patients is why I'm even more hard-pressed to get this information out there.

Yes, I always say it's the most underrated, underutilized, easily accessible activity that most of us are not doing. Wenn man sich die Recherche auf den mittleren Schrittkonten anschaut, die die meisten Menschen weltweit nehmen, sind es etwa 45 bis 4900. Das bedeutet, dass viele von uns weniger als das nehmen. Wenn ich mit meinen Patienten arbeite, schauen wir immer auf Basisnummern.

Was ist deine Basisnummer? So for example, if you had a person who was walking 2500 steps a day. I mean, some of us would be like, wow, that's not a lot. But for a lot of us, it is. If you were to walk an additional 500 steps in a day, your baseline is 2500, you can reduce your risk of cardiovascular mortality by 7%. Wow. Here's a bigger wow.

If you have a thousand-step increase, you can reduce your risk of all-cause mortality by 15%. Dying of anything? All-cause mortality.

For a thousand steps. So, I have a story for you. This is a patient of mine. And it just, you know, warms my heart to talk about him. Because when I saw him, he was two years into a diagnosis of heel pain. 27 years old. So he had gone to see a bunch of people. And the last doctor that he had seen told him to limit his step count to 2500 steps a day.

So, he comes into my office, we're talking about all this, and he's also a quadruplet. So, it was one of the first quadruplets I think I've ever treated. So he has, um,

You know, which, why I think pain is so difficult, it's so complicated, because now you have this 27-year-old who's seeing his siblings who are at 27, like, enjoy their life and doing all these things, and he's being told he can take 2,500 steps a day. So he's now living in his father's basement. And he's afraid to go above 2,500 steps. And he used to tell me, he's like, I cry a lot.

I'm depressed. And wouldn't you be if... So... There wasn't any magic exercise that I was going to give him two years into this. There wasn't any magic orthotic or magic shoe. He had done all of that. Shame on me if I would have done the same thing. So we had a conversation. And... I knew I needed to get him outside and I needed to get him walking. That was my goal. Forget about the heel pain.

We didn't even focus. We didn't even talk about the heel pain. I knew I needed to get him outside and start loading his foot. Two years. This foot, by the way, when you're walking, four to six times your body weight. It can handle four to six times your body weight when you're walking. But you don't load it appropriately. And muscles atrophy. So, I told him, we had a long, long conversation.
