About our instructor
Walking has always been Dr. Libby Trausch’s first passion. Whether stepping out her front door, hiking local trails, backpacking through the Midwest, or trekking internationally from village to village, she finds clarity with every mile. Walking makes thinking easier, deep conversations flow better, and she loves experiencing the world at a slower pace. Because of this, taking care of her feet is a top priority.
As a physical therapist specializing in chronic and persistent pain, Libby recognized early on that issues throughout the body often start with the feet. Her love of walking, combined with her expertise in movement and pain relief, naturally led her to study the strength and mobility of the feet, toes, and ankles—and how they influence the rest of the body. She believes that stability and power begin with an intentional relationship with our feet and is passionate about helping others move with less pain.
