‘Fascinating, a fantastic read… the whole book is a message of hope’ Rangan Chatterjee

'Amazing... it makes you feel good today and will help you live longer tomorrow’ Chris Evans

A myth-busting guide to one of the key pillars of health and longevity – walking – by the renowned foot health experts

Walking isn’t just a leisurely activity or a form of personal transportation. Its far-reaching benefits – not just for physical health, but for mental clarity and emotional well-being, creativity and social connection – make it a vital component of human existence, one that is as essential as breathing and sleeping.

In this book, world-renowned foot and gait specialist, Courtney Conley, and physiotherapist, Milica McDowell, transform our understanding of the importance of one of the simplest and most accessible forms of movement. Drawing on cutting-edge research, evolutionary biology and real-life stories from their practice, they show that walking is one of our most powerful and under-prescribed medicines: revealing why walking speed can predict overall health; how the risk of falls, which has a direct impact on longevity, can be measured by your foot health; and how even the shortest of walks can have profound healing effects.

Filled with practical advice, from simple tips to help with lower back pain, to customizable programs to enhance mobility and fitness, this book is an essential guide to transforming your physical – and mental – health, from the ground up.
