Respect the King, but don’t forget the Queen. 👑🏃

In the world of 26.2, the Long Run is King. It builds your engine, strengthens your endurance, and prepares your mind for the “pain cave.” But if you want to truly level up, Speed Work is Queen.

Why the royal pairing?
✨ The Long Run builds your base and teaches your body to burn fuel efficiently over hours.
✨ Speed Work improves your running economy, power, and that “kick” you’ll need on Boylston Street.
✨ The Foundation: Strength training is the “Guard” that protects them both, ensuring your joints and muscles can handle the high-mileage impact.

Don’t just log miles—train with intent. A plan that balances distance with Vitamin S (Speed!) and Vitamin R (Resistance) is the secret to a healthy finish. 🏆👟

If you’re looking for more guidance heading into this final stretch before Boston, feel free to give us a call and schedule a free 15 min consultation!

The first-ever Elliott PT Social Club event is in the books, and our race team absolutely crushed it at the St. Pat’s Day 5K! ☘️🏃

While the Social Club is all about connection, we couldn’t help but bring some serious heat to the pavement. We are so proud of how our clinics showed up and stood out in the standings:

🏆 Kevin Paulin (Clinical Manager, Hanover): 4th Place Overall
🏆 Eric Cardin (Clinical Manager, veteran marathoner & runner whisperer in Southie): 7th Place Overall!
🥇 Age Group Excellence: 3 of our team members took home 1st in their age groups, and another secured 3rd place in her age group.

Between the fast miles and the post-race celebration at it was the perfect kickoff for our new Social Club. 🍻✨

But these results aren’t just for show—they are a testament to the expertise we bring to our patients every day. When we say we understand the needs of runners, we mean it. Whether you are chasing a PR or navigating injury prevention for your next marathon, our team has the firsthand experience and clinical skill to get you to the finish line healthy and strong.

Don’t run on empty. 🍌⚡️

You wouldn’t drive to the cape with a "low fuel" light on, and you shouldn’t head to the starting line without a nutrition plan! Race day fueling is just as important as your weekly mileage—it’s the difference between hitting a PR and hitting the wall. 🧱

The Fueling Blueprint:

⛽️Practice Like You Race: Never try a new gel or drink on race day. Use your long training runs now to test what your stomach can handle.

⛽️Carbs are King: Your body needs accessible energy. Aim for 30–60g of carbohydrates per hour to keep your glycogen stores topped off.

⛽️Hydration is a Science: Don’t just drink when you’re thirsty. Consistent small sips of water and electrolytes help manage heart rate and blood pressure as the miles add up.

At Elliott PT, we know that exercise is medicine, but even the best medicine needs the right fuel to work!

DM us if you’re interested in scheduling an appt or consultation with our Southie team to help support you in your training.

Is your "Paddy’s Day" spirit stronger than your wrist? 🇮🇪🍺

We know the feeling! If carrying those festive pints has your hands or wrists feeling less than lucky, it might be time to see a specialist. We are proud to have Rebecca Wolongevicz, MS, OTR/L, CHT, on our team at Elliott Physical Therapy in Hanover.

As a Certified Hand Therapist and Occupational Therapist, Rebecca specializes in the complex mechanics from your fingertips to your shoulder. And let’s be honest—after the Blizzard of ’26 dumped 3+ feet of snow on the South Shore, most of our hands and shoulders are feeling the "shoveling struggle." ❄️🏠

Why see a CHT like Rebecca?

🟢 Specialized Expertise: Hand therapy is medicine for everything from ligament strains to post-op recovery.

🟢 Blizzard Recovery: If shoveling that mountain of snow left you with tingling, numbness, or shoulder pain, Rebecca can create a custom plan to get you back to 100%.

🟢 Functional Goals: We focus on getting you back to the activities you love (even if that’s just holding a coffee—or a pint! 😉).

Don't just push through the pain! Whether it was the snow or the celebration that got you, Rebecca is ready to help.

📍 Visit us in Hanover or call 781-347-3107 to schedule your appointment today!

What does crossing the finish line look like for you?

Is it crushing a sub-4-hour goal, or is it about the triumph of finishing your first 26.2 no matter what the clock says?

Your training plan should be as unique as your thumbprint. To reach your specific goal, you need a roadmap that aligns with:

✅ Your Life: Balancing miles with your schedule: work, family and everything else.
✅ Your Abilities: Respecting your current fitness while pushing for growth.
✅ Your Commitment: Finding the “sweet spot” of training volume you can actually stick to.

‘Winging it’ is the fastest way to hit a wall (and very likely, an injury).

At Elliott PT, we help you bridge the gap between “I want to do this” and “I just did this.”🏅

"What is actually happening to my body?"

🔍 It’s a question many women ask as they enter their 40s and 50s, but few get the answers they need.

Our own Kristie Averill, PT, is helping women navigate this milestone with science-backed strategies.

Menopause isn't just a single event; it’s a systemic shift. Declining estrogen and progesterone levels can impact everything from your cholesterol levels to joint stiffness and sleep patterns.

Why Physical Therapy for Menopause? Research shows that Exercise is Medicine. A realistic movement strategy can:
✅ Reduce the frequency of hot flashes.
✅ Improve mood and sleep quality.
✅ Maintain muscle mass and metabolic health.

You aren’t alone in this transition—the Elliott PT team is here to bridge the gap.

Join us at our Thriving Through the Transition talk on Thursday, February 26th at 630PM @ Fitness Unlimited to learn more! The event is free and spots will fill up quickly. Click here to sign-up!

One team, one vision, and a whole lot of growth! 📈💛

Our team recently gathered for our Annual Meeting to reflect on a record-breaking 2025 and share our roadmap for 2026. As Elliott Physical Therapy continues to grow, our mission remains the same: supporting our patients with expert care and supporting our team members in their career goals.

Seeing all these smiling faces in one room reminds us why we do what we do. We are so excited for the new programs, community outreach, and educational partnerships we have planned for this year.

Thank you to our amazing team for your dedication, and to our patients for trusting us with your health. 2026, we’re ready for you! 👟✨

New shoes = New PR? Maybe… if they’re the right ones! 👟

That’s right, we’re talking gear. Whether you have a higher arch (supination) or a lower arch (pronation), the “perfect” shoe is the one that balances your natural foot shape. This is one of the easiest ways to prevent common training injuries!

We love helping our runners find their “sole mate.” Stop by for a gait analysis so we can analyze your stride! Once we know what you need, we’ll send you over to our local sneaker experts to find your perfect fit.

Some of our trusted friends and neighbors are:
🏃🏽 (well established partners that are a typical go-to)
🏃🏽 (a few great local shops with full shoe fitting process as well)
🏃🏽 (a ton of awesome health and performance tests for athletes, including shoe analysis)

Getting ready to conquer 26.2 miles in 2026? 🏃‍♀️

If you’re out crushing miles on the streets or at a local park, we have one word for you: SLOW.

It sounds counterintuitive, but if you want to cross that finish line on Boylston Street feeling strong, you need to master the art of the "conversational pace." Here’s why your friendly neighborhood PTs at Elliott want you to dial it back:

Why Slow = Pro 🧠
Build Your Armor: Running at a slower pace early in your training gives your muscles and tendons the time they actually need to adapt to the impact.

Fuel Efficiency: It teaches your body to burn fat for fuel more efficiently—which is a total game-changer when you hit the dreaded "wall" late in the race.

Cardiac Gains: You’re stimulating vital heart adaptations that only happen when you aren't redlining it.

The "Vibe Check" Test 🗣️
How do you know if you're going slow enough? If you can’t gossip with your running buddy about the latest friend-group drama without gasping for air, you’re going too fast.

Ideally, you want to stay in Zone 2 (about 60-70% of your max heart rate). If you can hold a full conversation, you’re doing it right!

This is just the beginning! We’ll be sharing more expert tips in our Marathon Training Series to make sure everyone prepping for the Boston Marathon and beyond in 2026 stays injury-free and ready to rock.
