Have you heard the term Chair-bound Society? Well, it’s no news that too much sitting is the culprit of several orthopedic issues and pain that you live with and desperately trying to fix.
But how exactly does sitting cause pain in your hips and lower back and what can you do about it?
The gluteal muscles are the main stabilizer of the pelvis and also help level it – therefore they control every joint below them, including the ankle/foot.
They are essential for hip, pelvis and lower back stability and balance each time our foot hits the ground.
When you sit, your gluteal muscles are completely turned off as sitting basically squishes the glute tissues. The result is tight and restricted hips, excessive tone in the muscles around the hips and poor overall tissue quality.
Sitting causes the glutes to become inhibited. They were designed to be on fire A LOT, when you’re on your feet. But with too much sitting, they basically develop muscle amnesia and your brain will just stop using them. Instead, you’ll start using other muscles to perform the tasks your glutes should be doing.
