Do you sit all day long for work? Here are 🌟FOUR🌟 moves to make sure your hips can move better the rest of the day!
1️⃣ Standing Hip Flexor Stretch - standing in a lunge position, you should feel this stretch in the front hip/ groin of your back leg
2️⃣ Seated Piriformis Stretch - keep your torso tall as you lean forward over your bent leg to feel the stretch in your gluteal area
3️⃣ Seated Hamstring Stretch - keep your legs straight (or as straight as you can😉), toes to the sky, and torso tall!
4️⃣ Hip 90-90s - maintain a tall & strong torso to allow for the most mobility in your hips.

Want more info on these moves? Scroll through our page ⬇️⬇️ we have posts detailing these exercises further. Even better, come in and see us so we can assess your form & look for any areas of compensation that need to be addressed! 🙌🏼

Happy Stretching! 👋🏼👋🏼

As always, if any of these moves cause pain or discomfort, please stop and come see us or another healthcare provider to ensure the pain is not from a more serious condition.

Does this sound a little too familiar to you?? Ever wonder why pain happens after a seemingly normal activity or event or sometimes out of “nowhere”?
Pain often times is the last symptom to show up.. usually a change of range of motion, compensating patterns/ movements, or others signs and symptoms are popping up before the pain or event happens. Let us help you see what’s lurking below the surface before the pain takes over!

A FriYAY post for our very own, Jorgia!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
As many of you may know, she’s been working hard on coursework needed to obtain her licensure to be a certified Chiropractic X-ray Technician. And as no surprise to anyone, she PASSED her exam with flying colors & is now working on hours needed to complete her licensure tasks.
As if we weren’t already so proud of her for this, she was also awarded as the TNChiroFoundation’s Scholarship winner for 2025. 🥳🥳
So next time you’re in the office, give her a big big congrats! We are so thankful to have her on our team & for the dedication to our patients that she shows daily.

Hiking is a great way to connect with nature & get your body moving 🌿⛰️🪾but it’s also a full-body workout that requires strong stabilization to prevent injury.
Here’s what your body relies on when you hit the trail:
🦶🏼Ankles & Feet: stabilize on uneven terrain & absorb impact with each step
🦵🏼Knees: need strong quadriceps & hamstrings to support climbs & descents
🦴Hips & glutes: power your stride & keep your pelvis aligned
💪🏼Core muscles: essential for balance, posture & protecting your low back
🧠 Proprioception: your body’s ability to sense movement and position - vital on rocky trails

✅ Tip from us to you - strengthen your core, stretch before and after each hike, & don’t ignore nagging joint pain - that’s your body’s way of talking to you to that something is not right.
Let us help keep you pain-free & ready for the trails this season!
