Start 2026 By Measuring Your Mobility Baselines
We’re all familiar with the yearly routine: the dental cleaning, the eye exam, the standard physical with your primary care doctor, and the rush to get your taxes to the accountant. We check our teeth, our vision, and our bloodwork, but we often ignore the very thing that carries us through the world: how we move.
You might not notice the small loss of hip mobility or the slight decline in balance until it shows up as a mysterious back ache or a stumble on the pickleball court. An annual Physical Therapy Check-up is designed to catch these small issues before they become major injuries.
How Important Is Moving Well?
There is strong evidence suggesting that movement is a valuable predictor of future health and resilience against disease. Moving well can keep you healthier and help you live longer. Understanding your current mobility status can help you know what you can do to improve your baseline and live life better!
What to Expect
An Annual Link PT Check-up includes:
1:1 visit with a Doctor of Physical Therapy
A review of your health and injury history
Physical performance assessment of measures that affect your healthspan, such as your strength, balance, flexibility, endurance, and agility
A review of your movement goals (Whether you’re training for a race, trying to keep up with your grandkids, or just want to sit at your desk without neck pain, we'll make sure your plan matches your goals.)
Exercise plan recommendations and updates
Prevention is the New Performance
In a world obsessed with longevity and "optimization," the most effective tool we have is proactive maintenance. You wouldn't wait for your car's engine to smoke before changing the oil; don't wait for an injury before you check in with your PT.
