Gluteal amnesia refers to under-activity or poor activation of your glute muscles. Even though your glutes are some of the largest and most powerful muscles in your body, they can essentially “turn off” when they’re not used properly. This leads to other muscles compensating — especially your lower back — which often results in pain and dysfunction. 🪑 HOW TO FIX A FLAT BUTT [GLUTEAL AMNESIA] The most common cause of gluteal amnesia is prolonged sitting and lack of proper strengthening. When you sit for long periods, your glutes stay in a lengthened, inactive position. Over time, your body forgets how to use them effectively. The solution is targeted activation and strengthening exercises to “wake them up” and restore proper movement patterns. 💪 BEST EXERCISES FOR UNDER-ACTIVE GLUTES AND LOWER BACK PAIN The exercises in this video are designed to activate your glutes, improve hip control, and take pressure off your lower back.
