Ergonomic Tools That Actually Help (And Why They Matter)

May 8, 2026 By Megan Thompson

If you spend most of your day sitting, standing, or working at a computer, your body is adapting to that environment.  Unfortunately, these adaptions aren’t always conductive to pain-free living.  That’s where ergonomic tools come in handy! The goal of ergonomic tools isn’t to “fix” your posture overnight.  It’s to reduce strain, support natural movement, […]

Our Pillow Recommendations

March 19, 2026 By Megan Thompson

Waking up with neck pain, shoulder pain, stiffness, or headaches is something we hear about from patients all the time. One of the most common contributors is something many people don’t think much about: their pillow. A pillow that is too high, too flat, or that loses its shape overnight can put the neck into […]

How to Release Fascia

March 12, 2026 By Megan Thompson

When people think about pain or movement issues, they often focus on muscles, joints, or bones.  But there’s another important part of the body that often gets overlooked: fascia.  Fascia plays a major role in how the body moves, feels, and responds to stress, and it can be a key factor in chronic pain, stiffness, […]

Movement Monday 💪 Shoulders That Serve Grab a the Movement Monday 💪 Shoulders That Serve

Grab a theraband and let’s open up those shoulders. Start with arms straight out in front of you, then slowly pull the band apart, reaching your arms out to the sides. This helps activate the upper back, strengthen postural muscles, and counteract that forward shoulder position from daily life.

Move with control, keep your shoulders relaxed, and feel your chest open as you go. Strong, supported shoulders start with simple, consistent movement.

🗣️ What We’ve Seen in the Office with Jacob: Quadr 🗣️ What We’ve Seen in the Office with Jacob: Quadratus Lumborum (QL) Pain

One thing Jacob has been seeing a lot lately? QL pain.

The quadratus lumborum is a deep low back muscle that helps stabilize your spine and pelvis. When irritated, it can create that deep ache, tightness, or “locked up” feeling on one side of the low back.

Patients often notice it with:
• Standing too long
• Rolling in bed
• Bending or twisting
• Lifting kids, bags, or weights
• Sitting for extended periods

A lot of times this muscle gets overworked because something else isn’t moving or stabilizing well. Stress, posture, workouts, pregnancy/postpartum changes, or compensation patterns can all play a role.

Treatment may include chiropractic care, soft tissue work, mobility, strengthening, and helping the body move more efficiently overall.

If your low back keeps feeling tight or like it “grabs” on one side, the QL might be part of the picture 👏

Movement Monday 💪 Shoulders That Serve Wall angel Movement Monday 💪 Shoulders That Serve

Wall angels are a go-to for opening the chest and strengthening the muscles that support good posture. With your back against the wall, move your arms slowly up and down while keeping ribs down and wrists/elbows gently connected. It’s a simple way to counteract desk time and get your shoulders moving the way they’re meant to.

Slow, controlled reps = stronger, more supported shoulders.
