🏃‍♂️ Signed up for the Fargo Marathon on May 30th?
Now what?

Most running injuries don’t happen on race day — they build quietly during training. Small imbalances, tightness, or weakness can turn into something that sidelines you weeks before the race.

That’s why we’re hosting a Runner Injury Prevention Screen — to catch issues early and keep your training on track.

📅 February 16 | 1–5 PM
👥 Only 16 spots available

If you’re training for Fargo (or thinking about it), this is a smart first step.

Sign up before spots fill 👇

7-day Movement Reset: Day 3

10 Bodyweight Squats

Why squats help 👇
Squats activate some of the largest muscles in your body — glutes, quads, and core.
That means:
✔️ Better circulation after sitting
✔️ Stronger legs for everyday movement
✔️ Improved joint support for hips & knees
✔️ A quick metabolic boost without a workout

When’s the best time to do them?
There’s no wrong time — but these work best when:

🕘 After long sitting sessions
→ resets stiffness, improves blood flow, wakes muscles back up

🌅 First thing in the morning
→ gently wakes up your nervous system and joints

🍽️ After meals (optional bonus)
→ helps muscles use glucose more efficiently

The goal isn’t perfect timing — it’s breaking up stillness.

10 squats. A few times a day if you want.
Small movement, big impact.

Your body isn’t meant to sit all day.
Small movement breaks add up. Stand up, change positions, take a quick walk, repeat.
Stiffness is your cue — not something to push through.

Ask a PT for tips. We’re not just here for injuries — we’re here to help you keep moving through every phase of life. Movement is medicine.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Feeling heard, supported, and confident in your care makes all the difference.

Your recovery is never one-size-fits-all. We’re here to guide you every step of the way.

❄️ When to Check In with a Physical Therapist This Winter ❄️

Winter activities like running outdoors, shoveling snow, skating, or skiing can put extra stress on your body.

Consider scheduling a PT visit if you notice:
✔ Pain lasting more than a few days
✔ Sharp or worsening discomfort
✔ Swelling or joint instability
✔ Difficulty with everyday movement
✔ Old injuries flaring up

Staying proactive now can help prevent bigger issues later—and keep you moving comfortably all winter long.
