We won’t necessarily be talking about sports bras, but we will be talking about breathing tomorrow night. Join us tomorrow night at 6 PM for Breathing with Dr. Beau.

This is an interesting article though, we often bring up the concept of clothing, not just sports bras, changing movement, and breathing habits throughout your day. Food, or breath, for thought.

The gluteal muscles have an essential function to counteract an anterior pelvic tilt.

But what causes weak glutes?

Factors such as sitting down for long periods can result in the hip flexors becoming chronically tight and overactive.

But did you know that your foot posture heavily influences your pelvis position?

Let's take a closer look.

When the foot hits the ground, a series of events extending throughout the body is set into motion.

The foot functions as one link in a biomechanical kinetic chain, where movement at one joint influences movement at other joints in the chain.

As the base of this chain, the foot is subject to the forces of ground contact with every step, cushioning the body on landing and launching the frame forward immediately thereafter.

When we have a foot imbalance, the glutes can be deactivated -and we begin to lose our ability to stand upright efficiently.

Common indicators of postural imbalances also include head tilt, shoulder tilt, hip tilt and compromised sagittal plane. All can lead to low-back pain, neck pain, and increased wear on joint tissues.

Here is a simple way to activate inhibited glutes.

-First, lay on your back with your knees bent.
-Keep your core braced. And without arching your lower back, squeeze your butt muscles to get them engaged first.
-Then, lift up while keeping your glutes contracted.
-At the top, squeeze your glutes as hard as possible for about 5 seconds before coming back down.

In addition to this, Therapeutic Insoles is a great tool that can be used to activate your glutes. They stimulates the feet’s sensory receptors to increase muscle tone, stability, and mobility.

Are your glutes inhibited?
