Eight hours of daily sitting doesn’t just make you stiff—it slowly switches off the gluteal muscles that stabilize your entire lower body, forcing your lower back to compensate. A simple physiotherapy assessment can reveal the shocking disconnect between what you think your glutes are doing and what they actually are. The good news: gluteal amnesia responds remarkably well to targeted reactivation work.
