Anyone sitting in a chair or desk for a prolonged period will likely experience tight hips. This is often due to a group of large muscles called hip flexors that attach your pelvis to your femur and can become tightened when they aren’t stretched. These muscles help you move your hips when you walk, run, bend at the waist and raise your legs. Because the hip flexor muscles are connected to the spine, they often pick up the slack if the core isn’t strong, leading to pain in your lower back and other body areas. Fortunately, some exercises are designed to stretch out these muscles and offer relief from pain or discomfort.

Here is a list of some of those stretches: https://www.today.com/health/diet-fitness/hip-flexor-stretches-rcna16322

It is no surprise that Americans like their smartphones and use them daily. In 2021, the average American spent about 4.1 hours a day on their mobile device, according to mobile analytics firm App Annie. A recent study found that looking down at a phone can load an extra 60 lbs of weight onto your neck. With hours of the day spent staring at a screen, the accumulation of additional force leads to irregular stresses on the spine and surrounding supportive soft tissues. The consequences of these habits can include pain in the neck, upper back, and shoulder, headaches, tingling, or numbness in the hands.

If your phone habits have left you with any of the symptoms above, contact us to schedule an evaluation today. The quicker the problem is addressed, the sooner your symptoms can be reversed, reducing the risk of future injuries.
