Welcome to Pearls from a PT: A New Year, A New Chapter for Movement, Wellness, and Active Aging

Happy New Year! There’s something so refreshing about the first day of the year—a chance to reflect, reset, and take the first step toward your goals. For me, this new year marks the beginning of an exciting chapter: launching this blog as a space to inspire, educate, and connect with people like you.

I’m Lori, a physical therapist with almost 30 years of experience helping people move better, feel better, and thrive. Over the years, I’ve worked with busy people of all ages especially parents, professionals, and retirees, and I’ve seen how small, intentional changes can make a big impact on our health and wellness.

But I’m not just a PT—I’m a middle-aged wife, mom, and working professional who knows firsthand how challenging it can be to juggle life while staying healthy and active. That’s why I’m passionate about sharing practical tips, tools, and strategies to help you age actively, live fully, and feel your best.

My Mission: Helping You Move, Feel, and Live Better

This blog is a place to share the pearls of wisdom I’ve gathered over my career. I’ll dive into topics that matter to you, from improving mobility and preventing injury to embracing holistic wellness strategies that fit into your busy life.

My goal is simple: to help you thrive. Whether you’re managing pain, striving for fitness goals, or looking to stay independent as you age, I’m here to support you with practical advice, actionable tips, and plenty of encouragement along the way.

Why This Blog?

We all know how overwhelming health advice can be. There’s so much information out there that it’s hard to know where to start. My goal is to simplify things, offering reliable, practical advice that helps you make smarter, wiser choices for your health.

I also believe there’s strength in numbers. When we come together as a community, we can encourage, motivate, and inspire one another. This blog is more than just tips and tricks—it’s a place where we can support each other on the journey toward active aging.

Who Is This Blog For?

• Busy parents trying to balance family, work, and self-care

• Professionals navigating demanding schedules while staying healthy

• Retirees looking to maintain mobility, strength, and independence

  
  

If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place. I’m here to share insights and strategies that work, because I understand the challenges—and the opportunities—that come with each stage of life.

What You Can Expect

Throughout the year, I’ll be sharing:

• Functional movement tips to reduce pain and prevent injury

• Wellness strategies to improve strength, balance, and energy

• Holistic approaches to stress management, detoxing, and nutrition

• Practical advice for aging actively and confidently
  
  

No matter where you’re starting from, this blog is about progress—not perfection. Small, consistent steps can lead to big changes, and I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

Let’s Move Forward Together

The new year is the perfect time to take the first step toward a healthier, more active life. Whether you’re here to find practical tips, learn something new, or just get a little motivation, I’m so glad you’re here.

Let’s make this year about more than resolutions—let’s make it about real, lasting change. Together, we can build a community of like-minded individuals working toward better movement, wellness, and active aging.

Here’s to a year of thriving, not just surviving. Let’s move, live, and grow together!
