The "P" Word / Don't blame your Desk for your Bad Posture
The "P" Word / Don't blame your Desk for your Bad Posture

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.

Pulled Hammy?! How Hamstring Injuries Actually Happen - and What to Do About Them!

If your hamstring has ever “grabbed,” “twinged,” or straight-up betrayed you mid-sprint, you know the exact flavor of panic I’m talking about. 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.”

Why your nagging Neck Pain or Headaches might be coming from somewhere else..
Why your nagging Neck Pain or Headaches might be coming from somewhere else..

If 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!)

Why Your Knee Hurts (and Why It’s Probably Not Your Knee’s Fault!)
Why Your Knee Hurts (and Why It’s Probably Not Your Knee’s Fault!)

Ever feel like your knee just doesn’t trust you anymore? One minute you’re running hills around Lake Minnetonka or crushing your WOD at the gym — and the next, your knee is barking like you’ve aged 40 years overnight.

Here’s the thing: your knee might not actually be the problem. It’s usually the victim of what’s happening above (the hip) or below (the ankle). At Minnesota Movement Chiropractic & Sports Rehab in Excelsior, we see this all the time — athletes, golfers, runners, and weekend warriors dealing with stubborn knee pain that keeps coming back no matter how much they stretch, foam roll, or ice it.

If that sounds familiar, you’re in the right place. We’ll help you figure out why your knee’s angry, fix the real cause, and get you back to doing what you love — pain-free and stronger than before.

(Spoiler: your knee will thank you, and so will your squat form.)

Sports Chiropractic vs. Physical Therapy for Shoulder Pain: What's the difference?!
Sports Chiropractic vs. Physical Therapy for Shoulder Pain: What's the difference?!

If you’ve ever had shoulder pain, you know it’s one of those things that makes everything annoying. Brushing your teeth? Hurts. Putting on a shirt? Hurts. Trying to impress your friends with your overhead press PR? Definitely hurts.

Here’s the thing: the shoulder is an insanely mobile joint — which is great when you’re serving an ace or hitting a drive down the fairway, but not so great when the smallest imbalance throws the whole system off. And that’s exactly why shoulder pain is one of the most common things we see at Minnesota Movement.

Now, you might be wondering, “Should I see a chiropractor or a physical therapist for shoulder pain?” Read the full blog to find out!

Runner’s Knee and Jumper’s Knee
Runner’s Knee and Jumper’s Knee

It is difficult to pinpoint the direct cause of runner’s knee. In its basic form, runner’s knee occurs when that precious cartilage under your kneecap breaks down and is worn to the point where it is no longer protective, causing pain. Or, it can happen because your gait or biomechanics are off causing uneven tracking of the patella and resulting in uneven wear and tear. You may develop it because of an injury but the biggest culprit is overuse. You will notice knee pain during even the simplest activities like using stairs, squatting, and kneeling. So for those of you who live an active lifestyle, pay close attention to your knees.
