🎖️ What a morning at Castle Island!
Elliott Physical Therapy is proud to have supported the Boston Marine Corps Honor Run 5K for the 8th consecutive year — and this one holds a very special place in our hearts.

For our co-owner Patti Elliott, this race is deeply personal. Both her father and grandfather proudly served in the United States Marine Corps, making every mile on the South Boston waterfront a tribute to their service and sacrifice.

This year’s race honored the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Marine Corps and raised funds for the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation and Fisher House Boston — two incredible organizations supporting military families.

Thank you to everyone who ran, walked, and cheered. Semper Fi. 🇺🇸

Today we celebrate the strength, compassion, resilience, and love that mothers bring to their families, workplaces, and communities every single day. From cheering on the sidelines to caring for others before themselves, moms are often the heartbeat behind it all.

At Elliott PT, we are especially grateful for the incredible mothers on our team and the many moms we have the privilege of caring for each day. Your dedication inspires us.

Wishing all the moms, grandmothers, stepmoms, mother figures, and caregivers a day filled with love, appreciation, and maybe even a little time to relax. 🌷

🐾 April 11th was National Pet Day and the Elliott PT Family celebrated their pets! 🐾

We may be experts in movement and recovery — but our real secret weapon? Our pets. 🐶🐱🐰

But pets aren’t just adorable — they’re actually good for you! 🙌 Research shows that owning a pet can:

❤️ Lower blood pressure and reduce stress

😊 Boost mood and ease symptoms of anxiety and depression

🦴 Encourage more physical activity (hello, daily walks!)

🤝 Reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation

Sounds like pets and physical therapy have a lot in common — both help you feel and move better! 😄

We’d love to see YOUR pets too! Drop a photo in the comments and tell us their name. 👇🐾

🌟 What a day at Healthy Kids Day! 🌟
We had the BEST time joining the Needham YMCA’s national celebration of kids’ and family health and wellness!

We loved every moment — from seeing our tiniest fans in their Elliott jerseys 👕 to sharing some water with our favorite four-legged community members 🐾🐶

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our table to say hello — your smiles made our day! Here’s to healthy, happy, active families all summer long! ☀️

💛 Elliott Physical Therapy — Moving with your community, every step of the way.

🎉 Huge congratulations to two of our incredible team members who crossed the Boston Marathon finish line yesterday! 🏅

Eric, our Clinical Manager in South Boston, brought the same dedication to 26.2 miles that he brings every day to helping runners of all levels reach their goals. And Stephanie, our Office Manager in Dorchester and avid runner, proved once again why she’s unstoppable both in and out of the office.

We are SO proud of you both. Here’s to sore legs and well-earned rest days! 💙💛💙💛

"The Long Run is King, but Speed Work is Queen." 👑👟

As we get deeper into marathon season, Tip #5 is all about the balance of power in your training plan. While those double-digit weekend miles at Castle Island are essential for building your cardiovascular "bank account," adding speed and strength work is what keeps you out of the clinic and on the road.

Why we advocate for a balanced "Court":

👑 The King (Long Run): This is your structural foundation. It adapts your ligaments and tendons to the repetitive stress of 26.2 miles.

👑 The Queen (Speed Work): Track sessions or intervals aren't just for "fast" runners. They improve your metabolic efficiency and help you maintain better form when fatigue sets in.

👑 The Support (Strength Training): We can’t emphasize this enough—loading your muscles is the best way to protect your bone health and prevent overuse injuries.

At Elliott Physical Therapy, our South Boston team (made up of many marathoners themselves!) knows that a one-size-fits-all plan doesn't work. Your training should reflect your life, your abilities, and your specific finish-line goals.

Need a tune-up for your speed or a strategy for your strength? 📞 Call us at 781-896-7005 to schedule a consultation at our Old Colony Ave clinic!

When it comes to the marathon, your fuel is just as important as your training plan.

Without a strategic plan, your body can’t maintain the energy required for 26.2 miles, especially when training in the cold, windy Boston elements. Proper fueling doesn't just prevent "hitting the wall"—it protects your muscles and joints from the fatigue that leads to form breakdown and injury.

Best Practices:
🔋 Training for your Gut: Your digestive system needs to be trained just like your legs. Use your long runs now to test specific gels and electrolytes so there are no surprises on race day.

🔋Maintain the Engine: Consuming carbohydrates consistently manages your energy levels and prevents the "brain fog" that can set in during the final miles.

🔋Recovery Starts Mid-Race: Proper hydration and fueling during the run help manage your heart rate and set the stage for better muscle recovery afterward.

We understand that marathon success is built on a foundation of strength, movement, and smart preparation. Give us a call if you're looking for some support in your final month training for Boston 2026!

👋 Meet Rori Smith, a powerhouse marathoner who conquered both the Boston and Chicago marathons last year!

She’s sharing how personalized preparation, and working with the team at Elliott PT made all the difference in her journey to the finish line.

Check out more of Rori's story below! 🏅👟

"I became more into distance running in college as a way to stay active since I no longer participated in organized team sports. In 2025, I ran my first and second marathons, participating in the Boston Marathon in April and the Chicago Marathon in October. I had been increasing my distance over the past years, running the Newport and BAA Half Marathons, and viewed a marathon as a new personal goal. I also ran both races for charity and was able to fundraise for two incredible organizations, DetecTogether and the Danny Did Foundation.

I started physical therapy during my Boston Marathon training for help treating some pain in my hamstrings and calves. I knew I was taking on significant distances compared to my previous running experience, which came with some aches and pains; however, I wanted to ensure I was able to complete the majority of my training runs and arrive healthy at the start line. Eric Cardin at Elliott Physical Therapy listened to the issues I was experiencing and was able to diagnose and treat them. He recommended reverting to lower support insoles in my sneakers to help with my calf pains and gave me exercises to work on my strength. As we got closer to the marathon, he treated my calves and hamstrings to help loosen muscle tightness.

He also developed a strength training plan for me between my Boston and Chicago training blocks to get stronger and help reduce future injuries. As a fellow runner, Eric also shared tips and tricks from his marathon experience, which helped ease my nerves. I truly could not have made it to the finish line of either marathon without Eric and Elliott!"
