When we sit for long periods, our gluteal muscles will gradually become “lazy” and remain in a state of being constantly compressed and weak.
Over time, the brain has adapted to this abnormal tension, and the transmission of nerve signals becomes weaker and weaker. When we need to contract the gluteal muscles, they seem to have forgotten their function and cannot complete the contraction they should, causing waist pain. Back, hip, knee joint pain and a series of symptoms. Medically known as “gluteal amnesia“, it is also called “dormant butt syndrome“. Generally speaking, it means that the muscles of the buttocks have not worked for a long time and have forgotten what they should do.
