Tight hips after running? Give this Adductor Rock Back a try!

This simple mobility drill helps improve hip mobility by stretching the adductor (groin) muscles while keeping your spine in a neutral position. Shortened adductor length can contribute to stiffness in the hips and may affect running mechanics.

✅ Improves hip mobility
✅ Reduces groin and inner thigh tightness
✅ Great as part of your warm-up or recovery routine

Try 10–15 slow rock backs on each side, moving only into a comfortable stretch.

📍Need help with persistent hip or knee issues? As a Direct Access Physical Therapist, you can see us without a physician referral and get back to running with a plan tailored to you.

Headaches that start in your neck? It may be cervicogenic

Cervicogenic headaches can be caused by dysfunction in the muscles located at the base of the occiput (the head) called your suboccipital muscles.

These muscles can become tight and develop trigger points from spending hours in a forward head posture (looking at phones, computers, driving, etc.) These trigger points often refer pain to the back of the head, temporal lobe, and behind the eye.

✅Try this stretch:

1. Perform a chin tuck
2. Keep the chin tuck and slowly look down
3. Use opposite hand to apply an upward traction of the head
4. Hold for 45 seconds. Repeat 3-5 times

Did you know in Florida, you can see a physical therapist without a physician referral for musculoskeletal injuries.

Whether it’s:
🏃🏽Knee pain
🏌️Back pain
🏊🏼‍♀️ Shoulder pain
🏋️‍♀️ Sports injury

The sooner you address that nagging problem, the faster you can get back to doing what you love.

At Vighetti & Associates Sports PT, every visit is a full 60- minute one-on-one session focused on finding the root cause.

Ben Franklin wasn’t a physical therapist, but he nailed the exact philosophy behind sports medicine and injury prevention.

Think about it this way:
⚖️ The Ounce: Spending 30 minutes a day on mobility, strength, and nutrition
🏋️‍♂️ The Pound: Spending 3 months in intensive rehab, paying medical bills, and sitting on the sidelines after a preventable muscle tear.

Your body is excellent at sending subtle warning signs before a major breakdown happens. That stiff lower back or slightly tight hamstring? That is your body asking for an “ounce of prevention” before it demands a “pound of cure.”

Come see us for a wellness screen, thorough structural inspection, movement analysis, strength testing, and more to help you stay in the game longer and stronger!

Hip Mobility = A Happier Spine

Many people with persistent low back stiffness focus only on stretching their back. But often, the hips are the missing piece.

Your hips are a ball and socket joint, designed to be highly mobile. When they lose mobility, the lumbar spine is forced to compensate during activities like walking, squatting, running, and lifting. Overtime, that extra stress can contribute to increased strain on the low back.

Improving hip mobility can:
✅ Reduce excessive movement through the lumbar spine
✅ Improve squatting and lifting mechanics
✅ Improve longevity of your spine

Hips need mobility. Lumbar spine needs stability! My challenge for you today is to try out these 3 hip stretches everyday for 1-week.

Your health doesn’t need perfect timing, perfect motivation, or the perfect plan. It just needs you to start. One walk, one workout, one healthy meal, one small step at a time. Growth happens when you’re willing to be uncomfortable and keep moving forward anyway.

Meet the serratus anterior - a powerful muscle that wraps around your rib cage and connects to your scapula. It plays a HUGE role in helping your scapula move smoothly and stay stable against your rib cage.

Why it matters? If this muscle is weak, your shoulder blade may become unstable leading to ➡️

- Winging scapula
- Shoulder impingement
- Instability
- Weakness with overhead movements

🔥 Try this Serratus Push Up: start in a plank position with arms straight and core engaged. Without bending your elbows, slowly lower your chest toward the floor by letting your shoulder blades come together. Then, push the ground away spreading your shoulder blades apart (this is they key part!!)
👉 Aim for 2-3 sets 10-15 reps
