At our NYC chiropractic clinic, Dr. Mallik provides an integrative approach to pain relief using myofascial release therapy, manual therapy, and cupping therapy to help patients move with ease again. Whether your discomfort is from long work hours, stress, exercise, or posture habits, these therapies offer fast, non-invasive relief.
Why Do Muscles Become Sore, Tight, or Painful?
How Muscles Become Sore
Muscle soreness often results from micro-tears during activity, poor circulation, repetitive strain, or lack of recovery. Over time, these tissues stiffen, restrict movement, and cause persistent pain.
How Muscles Become Tight
Stress, posture, breathing patterns, and compensation can cause muscles to stay chronically contracted. Tight muscles pull joints out of alignment and disrupt healthy movement patterns.
Desk-Job Muscle Pain (“Office Syndrome”)
Prolonged sitting leads to:
- Forward head posture
- Rounded shoulders
- Tight hip flexors
- Weak glutes
- Stiff upper back and neck
- Reduced blood flow to key muscle groups
Relief for Muscular Pain, Tightness, and Everyday Strain
Muscle soreness and tightness can make even simple activities feel difficult. These symptoms often develop from overuse, stress, movement imbalances, “Office Syndrome,” or sitting at a desk all day. Through soft tissue therapy in NYC, we help reduce pain, restore mobility, and bring your body back into balance.

- Gentle, sustained pressure on restricted areas
- Assessment of movement patterns
