Most people don’t think of Physical Therapists as someone who can help them with their New Year’s goals — we’re here to tell you that’s not the case.

Everyone has New Year goals.  Even if you're one of those people who claim they 'don't do New Year resolutions it's hard not to look at turning the calendar as a fresh start.

Fresh starts often come in the form of making a change to your health, fitness, or nutrition routine. In fact, 46% of people who made a new years resolution based it around improving their wellness. This is why, use here at Ripple Physical Therapy are the best people to help you with your New Years goals. Our cash based system allows for us to not only get you out of pain, but be the expert you need to help guide you with exercise, workout routines, and other health habits.

 

To the resolution haters' credit, they have good reason to be skeptical. According to a study done in 2019, about 7% of people who made a New Year resolution stuck to that change all year long.  That's a staggeringly low number. 

So -- how do you make the most of these lofty New Years Goals?

We love breaking things down into 3 Step Processes here at Ripple — so, with anything, there's a step 1.

 

And that first step when making a New Year Resolution needs to be creating a plan for how to achieve your goal. When creating this plan, you need to look at where you want to be once 2023 rolls around.  What does that look like? 

From there you can determine where you need to be in 6 months to hit that goal, which will drive what you need to have accomplished in the next three months, which will help you create an actionable plan to get done this month.By breaking your overall resolution into steps, we're taking what may be a lofty goal in which you need all year to achieve, and breaking it down into actionable steps all year long.  These steps are the key to sticking to your New Year plan.

The other key is having someone there with you along the way. Accountability is key.

For anyone that’s interested, I'll be sitting down with you (or anyone) and helping them take their New Year resolution and break it down into bite-sized, actionable steps to not only help you achieve your goal but crush it along the way!

Whether your goal is to get rid of a nagging injury, get back to running, or simply start living a healthier life we are here to help.
