MAKING NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS? WE CAN HELP YOU KEEP THEM Setting New Year’s resolutions is a time-honored tradition this time of year, but how many of us will still stick to those resolutions come June–or even February? Firm statistics on the success of New Year’s resolutions are hard to come by, but one study found that 45% of people surveyed felt their resolutions were unsuccessful one year out. Don’t despair. There are ways to ensure your resolutions are successful, especially if they’re health- and fitness-related, as the vast majority are. In fact, one of the most popular New Year’s resolutions is to exercise more–and that’s one habit Peak Physical Therapy can definitely help you develop! Physical therapists are movement experts who understand the importance of regular exercise–not just on your appearance, but on your overall health. And if you’re going to make just one resolution, exercising more is a great one! Regular exercise has a radiating effect that impacts your mental health, sleep quality, joint pain levels, mobility, and so much more. How Physical Therapy Will Keep You Moving All Year Long One of the biggest challenges in starting a new exercise program is having no idea what to do. Joining a gym is most people’s first step, but it’s also an intimidating maze of unfamiliar equipment and wall-to-wall mirrors. Our therapists will help you develop an exercise program that suits your needs, interests, and ability levels–eliminating that initial hurdle. Another trick to keep you moving is to track your progress. While many people default to monitoring their weight or appearance, our therapists can provide other measures to give you a complete picture of your overall health and wellness. Range of motion, balance, and strength: all paint a comprehensive portrait of your overall progress. Knock This Resolution Out of the Park! Make 2026 the year you stick by your resolution! With the Peak Physical Therapy team in your corner, you’ll build an exercise habit for life. Call us today to learn more!
