NO MATTER WHERE SUMMER TAKES YOU
Summer is the perfect time for an adventure or a great trip, but just because you’re packing your bags doesn’t mean you have to put your physical therapy on hold. Whether you’re hitting the road for a weekend getaway or flying across the country, staying on top of your PT routine will keep you feeling strong and injury-free. With a little extra planning and the right exercises, you can continue to work on your well-being while creating fun summer memories.
Plan ahead with your PT. Before you pack your bags, make a plan with your physical therapist. We can share exercises that are easy to complete on the go and stay aligned with your overall goals. Certain types of physical activity, like yoga or walking in place, can be done from your hotel room, the park, or the beach. You can also pack many portable PT tools, like resistance bands or mini foam rollers, so you can save some space in your suitcase. Stay consistent and motivated. Even though you’re on vacation, try to stay consistent with a modified PT routine. Committing to even 10–15-minute sessions a couple of times a day can be effective. If you’re looking for extra motivation, get your travel companions on board and have them join you on evening walks or at the hotel gym. You deserve time to relax, so don’t push yourself too hard. Set small, realistic goals that ensure you are still working on your PT plan, but don’t miss out on the fun. Track your progress and celebrate the wins. While you enjoy your summer travels, it’s important to stay connected to your progress. Keep a simple log of your exercises and any challenges or progress you experience so you can share that information with your physical therapist. By keeping track of your hard work, you’ll stay focused and motivated and can celebrate the wins along the way. Whether completing a full set of exercises or exploring the city pain-free, these are victories worth acknowledging. Remember, staying committed to your physical therapy routine on vacation doesn’t have to feel like a chore. With a little extra planning and working with your PT ahead of time, you can continue to make progress.

TESTIMONIAL “Highly highly recommended Gloria. She sure helped me in so many ways. I was basically told by my doctor’s nurse that l’d have to deal with feeling lousy. When I went to Gloria, she dug a little deeper and found out the cause of my problem. She’s amazing and doesn’t give up on you.” —D.S.
