Gluteal Amnesia

Gluteus muscles

Gluteal Amnesia is a condition where your gluteal muscle forgot how to properly activate and support the pelvis due to prolonged activity.

Causes:

  1. Prolonged sitting: sitting for hours lengthen the glute muscles and tighten the hip flexors.
  2. Sedentary lifestyle: lack of movement and exercise targeting the lower body.
  3. Muscle imbalances

The symptoms are:

  1. Numbness/soreness in the buttocks
  2. Weakness/fatigue in the hamstring or lower back during exercise.
