The countdown to January is on—and for many people, that means one thing: resolutions. Whether you’re planning to run more, lift heavier, stretch daily, or simply move better in 2026, it’s important to lay the right foundation before diving into new routines.
At PRN, we believe every resolution starts with a body that’s ready to take it on. Here’s how physical therapy can help you prep smarter, feel stronger, and stay consistent as the new year begins.
Get Ahead of Injury
A sudden jump in physical activity can lead to sprains, strains, or flare-ups of old injuries—especially if your body isn’t used to the movement. A physical therapist can assess your current mobility, strength, and alignment to identify imbalances or areas of tightness that could lead to issues later.
Build a Mind-Body Routine That Sticks
January motivation fades fast when you’re dealing with discomfort. PT can help you develop a plan that eases you into new habits while prioritizing body awareness, safe progression, and functional movement. We don’t just treat injuries—we help prevent them and set you up for long-term success.
Revisit Old Aches Before They Resurface
Have an old knee injury that flares up when you run? Or shoulder pain that gets worse with lifting? Don’t wait until it sidelines you. A quick check-in with a PT can help resolve lingering issues before they derail your goals.
Set Goals That Make Sense for You
Not every resolution needs to involve marathons or max weights. Maybe your goal is to walk more comfortably, play with your kids, or get through the day with less pain. Physical therapy helps you focus on your body, your goals, and the best path to get there.
Make 2026 the Year of Moving Better
If moving more is on your list of resolutions, now is the time to prep your body for the year ahead. Physical therapy is a great first step—whether you need a custom mobility plan, help recovering from pain, or just want to feel more confident taking on new goals.
Let’s start strong—together.
