Postural pain doesn’t care if you’re an athlete or a desk worker — it shows up when your body spends too much time in one position without the strength or mobility to support it.
After all, the only “bad” posture is one that we spend too much time in.
Sixty hours slouched at a desk will hurt you.
So will sixty hours standing without support.
The problem isn’t posture — it’s lack of variability and poor control.Changing posture takes intention, strategy, and real work — not temporary fixes like a new chair or a posture brace that collects dust after two weeks.
Thoracic Outlet Syndrome is commonly mis-diagnosed as a ‘pinched nerve” or Carpal Tunnel Syndrome because a lot of the signs and symptoms are very similar. However, TOS varies greatly from the two aforementioned conditions. Your thoracic outlet is a small bundle of nerves, veins, and arteries that leave your neck and travel all the way down to your fingers - dispersing blood and nerves along the way. When this bundle becomes compromised, you get signs and symptoms such as numbness, tingling, decreased blood flow, discoloration, and weakness.

Hamstring issues are basically the tax athletes pay for wanting to actually do things with their body. But here’s the good news: they’re fixable — when someone knows what they’re doing.
At Minnesota Movement Chiropractic Sport & Spine, we help athletes and active adults around the Lake Minnetonka area get out of hamstring pain fast — and more importantly, keep it from coming back the next time you sprint, lift, jump, or try to prove you’ve “still got it.”
Read MoreIf you woke up with a neck that feels like it aged 40 years overnight… welcome to the club nobody wants to be in. Neck pain is one of the top reasons people land in a chiropractor’s office — but here’s the truth most clinics don’t say out loud:
Not all neck pain is created equal — and not all providers know how to actually fix it.
Our job is simple: figure out the real reason your neck hurts and fix it with a plan that actually works.
(Psst! The root cause may not be your neck!)
You don’t have to be the next Rory McIlroy or Serena Williams to end up with elbow tendonitis. We see golfers, tennis players, carpenters, desk workers, and even parents juggling babies all walk through our doors with the same complaint — a sharp, nagging pain on the inside or outside of the elbow that just won’t quit.
Our goal isn’t just to quiet the pain. It’s to fix why that tendon is angry in the first place — and build a stronger, more resilient arm that can handle whatever you throw at it (or swing, or type, or hammer).
The shoulder is “the overachiever of the body.” It’s supposed to move in all directions — but when something isn’t doing its job (usually your scapular stabilizers or thoracic spine), the shoulder joint pays the price.
If you’ve ever felt that deep, annoying pinch in the front or top of your shoulder when reaching overhead — yeah, that’s not something to ignore. Shoulder impingement (sometimes mimicking rotator cuff tendonitis) can creep up on anyone from desk workers and weekend warriors to CrossFit athletes, swimmers, and golfers. It’s one of the most common shoulder issues we treat here at Minnesota Movement Chiropractic & Sports Rehab.
