Tight glutes and piriformis are a common source of hip tightness, sciatica-like symptoms, and low back pain — especially if you sit most of the day.

In this video, a member of our team at Manhattan Sports Medicine and Wellness Group demonstrates the Figure 4 Stretch:

Lie on your back with both knees bent and feet flat on the floor.
Cross your right ankle over your left thigh, just above the knee, so your legs form a "4."
Gently pull your left thigh toward your chest, or press your right knee slightly away with your hand.
Keep your head, shoulders, and low back relaxed on the floor.
Hold 20–30 seconds, then switch sides. Repeat 2–3 times per leg.

This should feel like a deep stretch in the glute, never sharp pain. If you feel pinching in the hip or tingling down the leg, stop and let us know.

Our chiropractors combine hands-on treatment with therapeutic exercise, so you're building mobility that lasts — not just relief in the office.

Tight hip flexors are one of the most common contributors to low back pain, hip stiffness, and poor posture — especially if you sit most of the day.

In this video, a member of our team at Manhattan Sports Medicine and Wellness Group demonstrates the Hip Flexor Stretch:

Kneel on one knee with the opposite foot planted in front, knee bent about 90 degrees.
Tuck your pelvis under slightly and tighten your core — this is what actually targets the hip flexor.
Shift your weight gently forward until you feel a stretch along the front of the hip and thigh.
Keep your chest tall and don't arch your low back.
Hold 20–30 seconds, then switch sides. Repeat 2–3 times per leg.

This should feel like tension, never sharp pain. If you feel pinching in the hip or more back pain, stop and let us know.

Our chiropractors combine hands-on treatment with therapeutic exercise, so you're building mobility that lasts — not just relief in the office.

Feeling tight through your back and sides? Child's pose with an oblique stretch is a simple, effective way to improve mobility, release tension, and restore flexibility throughout your spine and torso. Start in child's pose, then walk both hands to one side until you feel a gentle stretch along the opposite side of your body. Hold for a few deep breaths before repeating on the other side. This variation targets the obliques, lats, and muscles that support your spine, helping reduce stiffness from prolonged sitting, improve mobility, and promote better movement. If you have a back injury, significant pain, or another medical condition, consult your doctor or healthcare provider before trying new stretches. Add this stretch to your warm-up or recovery routine, and if ongoing back, hip, or side tightness is limiting your movement, our team can help identify the cause and create a personalized treatment plan.

Ice or Heat? Which One Should You Reach For?

It's one of the most common questions we hear — and the answer isn't always what you'd think. 🤔 In this video, one of our chiropractors, Dr. Keith West, describes when ice or heat is more beneficial.

Reach for ICE 🧊 when:
✅ You have a fresh injury (first 48-72 hours)
✅ There's swelling, redness, or bruising
✅ You have acute pain from a sprain, strain, or impact
✅ You just finished an intense activity and feel inflamed

Reach for HEAT 🔥 when:
✅ You're dealing with chronic muscle tightness or stiffness
✅ You need to warm up before the activity or stretch
✅ You have long-standing joint pain (not acute)
✅ You're recovering from a spasm or knot

The general rule? Ice calms inflammation. Heat relaxes tension. Using the wrong one at the wrong time can actually slow your recovery. 🚫

If pain or an injury is limiting your training, work, or daily life, don't guess — get evaluated. At Manhattan Sports Medicine, we help active New Yorkers recover smarter, move better, and get back to what they love. 💪

In this video, Dr. Keith West, one of our chiropractors at Manhattan Sports Medicine, walks us through a calf stretch. Tight calves can limit ankle mobility and contribute to discomfort in your Achilles, knees, and even your lower back. A simple wall calf stretch is an effective way to improve flexibility and keep your lower legs moving well. Stand facing a wall with your hands against it, step one foot back, keep your heel planted and back leg straight, then lean forward until you feel a gentle stretch. Hold for 20–30 seconds, then switch sides. To target the deeper calf muscle, slightly bend your back knee and hold again. This stretch is especially beneficial for runners, walkers, and anyone who spends long hours on their feet. If you have an existing injury, significant pain, or a medical condition, consult your doctor or healthcare provider before starting any new stretching routine. Perform this stretch as part of your warm-up or recovery routine, and if persistent calf, Achilles, or ankle tightness is holding you back, our team is here to help.

Our chiropractor, Dr. Chanho Ho, breaks down why hydration is one of the simplest ways to support your performance and recovery. Water helps deliver nutrients to working muscles, regulate body temperature, lubricate joints, and replace fluids lost through sweat. Even mild dehydration can lead to fatigue, muscle cramps, reduced performance, and a higher risk of injury. 💧🏃🏽‍♂️

At Manhattan Sports Medicine, we help active New Yorkers stay healthy, recover faster, and perform at their best with personalized care for athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and everyday movers. Ready to feel your best? Schedule a consultation with our team today.
