What are YOUR goals for 2025?
Happy New Year!
Move past injury. Move toward success. Move without age limits. Move well.
Treatment customized to your body. Your goals. Your future.
As we transition to a new calendar, I again feel overwhelmed with gratitude for you, my patients - for your ongoing support and loyalty to CoachAmyPT and for trusting me with your wellness.
The new year is traditionally a time to reflect on last year's goals and create new ones. While I recommend evaluating and adjusting your goals throughout the year, the turnover to the next 365 days is a great time to do so, so let's give it a go!
Reflecting on 2024
Personal reflections.
My wellness goals for 2024 were a success! I gradually and progressively returned to a consistent running and strengthening routine as I fully recovered from knee surgery and learned to balance my autoimmune disease. I found the “Goldilocks” balance by listening to my body’s response and adjusting as needed. In other words, practicing what I preach. And I'm still working on it because, as you’ve heard me say many times, “It is a process!”
Clinic reflections.
And what about the clinic? CoachAmyPT successfully integrated blood flow restriction therapy (BFRT) into the treatment toolbox, improving outcomes for patients recovering from surgery and injury.
This year, I earned a certification in primary care physical therapy. This allows me to screen for medical issues, educate patients on their options, and refer them to specialists as needed. This new approach enhances patients' wellness and improves preventative strategies.
Not all goals were met this year. We aimed to launch a refreshed, user-friendly website by the end of 2024. While you may have noticed changes to the current site, it's just an interim version, not the final product. Like physical therapy, timelines can be unpredictable, and setbacks can occur. Things may look chaotic before they improve, but stay tuned—our new website is coming!
Oh, and…The Coach Amy and Coach Liz Show podcast released 51 episodes in 2024. While it is a podcast geared towards endurance athletes, many non-athletes find the content relevant. Have a listen wherever you get your podcasts.

Looking Ahead to the New Year
Personal wellness goals.
My wellness goals for 2025 are to stay active, especially in my beloved sport of running, and stay injury-free. Wellness isn’t just about the physical, but also the mental. This year, I aim to exercise the right side of my brain with some creative pursuits.
Clinic goals.
And what about the clinic goals for 2025? Upon certification in level 2 blood flow restriction therapy (BFRT), CoachAmyPT will add BFRT for performance enhancement to the offerings. And that refreshed and easier-to-navigate website will be released soon!
Additionally, I am taking on a teaching role as an adjunct professor at Rockhurst University's doctoral physical therapy program and speaking at Garmin headquarters on Injury Prevention in Running.
