✨Releasing Those Tight Glutes✨
The ‘glutes’ are made up of three main gluteal muscles; the gluteus maximas, gluteus medius, and gluteus minimus, as well as the piriformis. These muscles play a key role in facilitating everyday activities, heavily influencing the movement and positioning of the lower spine and pelvis, and are some of the biggest muscles in our body.
Tight or weak glute muscles can cause biomechanical imbalances in the pelvis, imbalances in surrounding muscles, and instability in the lower spine. Overtraining these muscles or spending a lot of time sitting down can lead to tension in the glutes and can further cause lower back pain.
Stay on top of those tight glutes with regular massage, soft tissue release exercises, strengthening exercises, and stretching exercises.
