“I just started the Bunions mini-course – and I am LOVING it!

The exercises are fantastic! Thank you SO, so much for putting this together. I love the educational aspect behind the exercises as well!

I’ve already improved my toe and foot strength/splay over the past few months with the Fit Feet Program, and I can’t wait to progress even more with the added education and exercises from the Bunions program. You all are truly amazing!!!”

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.

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, a global education enterprise leading a paradigm shift in foot health by empowering people worldwide to reclaim optimal foot function through science-backed training and protocols.

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.

Got Questions?

Is this course right for me?

The Movement Rx is a course designed to span across ages and abilities. We have designed this course with modifications to help meet you where you are as well as progressions to add even more challenge. Even Dr. Jen and Dr. Courtney are in two different life stages (postpartum and peri-menopause) and each found their own areas to help them improve their movement. 

What is movement longevity and why is it important?

Movement Longevity is the ability to move throughout your lifetime. We want to empower you and give you tools to help you move well at any age.

What if I have pain or movement restrictions

We have provided modifications in the follow along workouts that you can make to get you started — pain-free! We’ll help you understand how to build from there. Our team is also happy to help if you need ideas for additional modifications.

What equipment will I need?

To reduce barriers we designed these workouts to include minimal equipment. We also provide ideas for household items that can be used whenever possible. In this course we will use simple tools like a flat resistance band and a small massage ball. There are also opportunities to add resistance or use tools like toe spacers. If you don't have these items we recommend grabbing a Gait Happens Foot Health Kit to have the basic tools ready to go. Additional optional items include small hand weights, a bench or chair, and a bar or scarf to use for hanging.

If I took Movement Rx in 2025 do I get access to the 2026 course?

The Movement Rx is a limited time course that we have brought back by popular demand! The workout modules of the course will be the same in 2026 as they were in 2025. If you took MRx in 2025 and would like to purchase access to this year's Live Q&A calls and Bonus Live Workout with Dr. Jen and Dr. Courtney, please email info@gaithappens.com and we will send you a direct link to purchase the 2026 add on for $49.
