If you are getting low back pain, the issue is probably due to a weak gluteus medius muscle. <\/i><\/b><\/h4>\n

Often times, we find ourselves sitting for long periods at work, people spend more than 9 hours a day sitting<\/a> and when getting up from the desk we feel that ache in our low back or even our knees. This is because your <\/span>gluteus medius is weak and underworked.<\/b> When we don\u2019t use these muscles often, they become shortened over time and lose their range of motion and proper function, this perpetuates the gluteus medius pain. By sitting on our butt all day, we prevent these muscles from firing and activating, thus leading to other problems in our bodies, such as back pain, hip pain and even knee pain<\/a>. Yes, knee pain may also be affected due to the kinetic chain of movement in the lower limbs from the gluteus medius to the knee.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
