Experts say “Dormant Butt Syndrome” affects millions, caused by weak glute muscles.
(COLUMBUS, Ohio) – If you’re one of the millions of Americans who suffers from hip, knee or back pain, experts say your butt may be to blame..
“The entire body works as a linked system, and a lot of times when people come in with knee or hip injuries, it’s actually because their butt is not strong enough,” said Chris Kolba, a physical therapist at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. “The rear end should act as support for the entire body and as a shock absorber for stress during exercise, but if it’s too weak, other parts of the body take up the slack and it often causes injury.”.
Kolba has coined the term “Dormant Butt Syndrome” related to such injuries, which can lead to everything from tight hip flexors to chronic pain in the lower back and even injuries to the meniscus, which often result in knee surgery. But it’s not just caused by those who exercise improperly..
“It’s actually caused quite often by inactivity and the way we sleep,” said Kolba. “Sitting for extended periods throughout the day weakens the glute muscles and puts strain on other parts of our core, as does sleeping in the fetal position.”.
Kolba says stretching, making a point to stand and walk as often as possible throughout the day and adding exercises to strengthen glute muscles can help you avoid pain and injury in other parts of the middle to lower body..

Gluteal Amnesia (GLUTES TURNED ON?)

Show Description

What causes a saggy butt?
Aesthetics is a major concern for people and the persons aesthetics are also utilized in an attempt for diagnosis of poor muscle usage saggy butt = poor usage of glutes. Due to these, it is valuable to consider what causes a saggy butt..
Genetics.
Genetics are hard to challenge, some people will inherently have great gluteal development without having to work for it, whereas some people will have less development regardless of their efforts. With that said, it is safe to say that everyone (without a predisposing nerve condition) has the ability to make a significant impact on the gluteal development with consistent training devoted to it..
Exercise Selection.
When we look at what many people do for gluteal work, this is an area where many mistakes are made..
Exercise Set Up.
A few examples:
-Back squats with a more externally rotated foot placement show higher gluteal activity. If you are using a back squat to work the glutes, you should be having a more externally rotated foot stance..
-Full squats show better growth than partial squats for gluteal development. Whether you are performing goblet squats, back squats, front squats, etc., if you are trying to grow your glutes, you should be performing as much range as you can control..
-Hip Thrusts have been demonstrated to have a higher activation of the glutes when the feet are slightly wider and the person is actively attempting to rotate their feet outward (attempting, not actually) and ensures to have a posterior pelvic tilt..
-Glute Bridges should be performed with 90* or greater knee flexion. A higher amount of knee flexion tends to emphasize gluteal contraction through minimizing hamstring contraction..
Exercise Parameters (these main factors are often not considered when looking at gluteal growth).
“Compound” vs “Isolation”.
Compound movements of things like squats, deadlifts, and hip thrusts are likely more beneficial than isolation type movements like seated hip abductions, clamshells, etc. However, it is likely beneficial to have a mixture of both for maximal growth, with an emphasis on compound movements..
Effort.
In general, we see a strong trend that training closer to failure leads to higher amounts of muscular hypertrophy. We see that there is a “sweet spot” for most people where training at around 2-3 reps for proximity to failure (where the person would only be able to perform 2-3 more reps if it was absolutely necessary) leads to a sufficient level of effort for hypertrophy, but does not take away from the ability to keep repeating efforts for multiple sets. In contrast, lower effort tends to not provide as much benefit for hypertrophy, and higher effort tends to make repeatability difficult..
Volume.
This builds off the prior point and volume and effort are a balance too high of volume requires less effort, and too high of effort restricts volume. For most people a range of sets between 3 and 9 for the glutes provides more than enough stimulus in one session..
Frequency.
If you struggle with active control/perception, having a greater frequency of lower effort but highly contracting movements may provide high benefit. This treats the goal like a skill and we work on it as such..
Summary.
Gluteal amnesia has gained a great deal of attention across the last decade, however it is not a true pathological diagnosis. For most people (anyone outside of a few instances), their glutes are able to contract and blaming an inability to contract as a cause of aesthetics, performance or pain is unlikely to be of benefit or accurate. In contrast, whether the person has an issue with aesthetics, performance, or pain, there is likely a range of possibilities as to why anatomical structure, individual preference, historical volume, exercise technique, exercise consistency, etc..
In general, if we help individuals take time to adjust their movements to meet their unique anatomical structure, have them be consistent with performance of gluteal training, all people should be able to improve their ability to feel their gluteals contract and/or have greater development of the gluteals to their needs..

He discusses an acetabular labral tear and also a femoroacetabular impingement called an FAI these are cam and pincer type of impingement. He also mentions perthes disease and osteoarthritis of the hip joint..
Hip pain can be caused by a multitude of issues like a Gilmores groin or a sportsman hernia, bursitis, SUFE slipped upper femoral epiphysis, dysplasia, stress fractures, pubic-symphysis dysfunction. Sensory nerve distribution from iliohypogastric, ilioinguinal and genito-femoral..
In another video John will teach you if the facet joint is stuck in an open position called an FRS (flexion, rotation and side bending) or fixed closed in an ERS (extension, rotation and side bending)..
John also shows you in his other videos to assess the nerve root level of the adductors (obturator nerve through L3 reflex), patella tendon (femoral nerve through L4 reflex), semitendinosus (tibial / sciatic nerve of L5 reflex) and Achilles / plantar (tibial nerve of sciatic through S1 reflex) and a normal response is classified as 2++. Any reduced hypo-reflex (1+) or increased hyper-reflex (3+++) with Clonus and Babinski positive as might indicate some form of upper motor neurone lesion like Multiple sclerosis, stroke, spinal cord tumour or brain injury. Any altered reflex will need further investigation as a possibility of disc or neural pathology. These techniques and more is taught on the Neurological Master-Class at the University of Oxford..

Hi Doctor Jo, i found your video while on a search for morning stretches for back pain. Ive also found that i have extremely tight and immobile glutes. I can not sit on the floor without my back against something and ive never been able to sit cross legged even as a child. To make this short i tried alot of ur stretches and i noticed doing the laying leg raise in this video, the motion does not fire any glute muscle at all. I can fire it manually, like im able to easily clinch my glutes at anytime. But the leg raise its self, doesnt at all fire the glute for me, why is that?? My glutes fire easily with the clam shell movement. Thanks for the great video Doctor Jo

Just a question for the pelvic drop. If my Right leg is the affected/weaker leg, should it be on te step, yes or no?
I would say NO (Left leg on step if I want to strengthen the Right leg) but litterature that I found is contradictory!

Sternforge September 1, 2020 - 01:46

I was having crisis on my butt. As a sickle cell patient all the butt workouts are draining. I will give my pain a score of 4/10 but after 20 rep of the first exercise, on both sides the crisis on my butt disappeared. My butt has never felt this kind of burn. Thank you so much. Please can you do more videos on how I will grow my butt for people with my condition is hard to see a mild effective exercise.

Delanis September 1, 2020 - 14:29

Really, really watch for hip stabilization in this 3rd exercise. In Yoga, this is really close to warrior 3 and rotating my hips is how I have strained my TFL It’s really, really easy to do and I didn’t notice it until it’s was too late. Generally, now if I can get my gluts firing right, I am ok. If you have a yoga person, tell them it’s the difference between a shaking hard warrior 3 that’s mostly core and shake and a rock solid warrior 3 that you feel like you could hold for an hour. If they don’t feel that’s it’s the hip rotation as I have oh so painfully learned.

Miraril September 1, 2020 - 18:16

Wow! Never felt that burning sensation in my glutes!! Will subscribe right now��

Rainflame September 3, 2020 - 02:10

Hi, I hope all is well there, I have a question about this video, What do you mean by the free leg and how I can find out the free leg. Thanks for this informative video.

Jorus September 3, 2020 - 16:43

Are these exercises okay to do while still having pain? Will they help? Went on a 3 hour hike with a heavy uneven backpack and experienced the worst pain I have ever felt in the gluteus medius. After 3 days of intense pain ended up in the ER so am on high doses of pain and anti inflammatory meds. I’m sure the pain pills are masking the pain but just wondering if these exercises would hinder or help at this point? Thank you.

Nalmelace September 4, 2020 - 11:45

I need help cuz the bottom of my butt is Round but I need a good excersise for the top part it’s flat I feel no matter what I do it’s not working or maybe not going the right workouts

Nalmedi September 5, 2020 - 03:55

What is effect of hip abductors muscles on the side of pelvis hike in closed chain??????

Gardam September 5, 2020 - 21:02

Hi there, i know this is an old video but i am someone that suffers badly from IT Band Friction Syndrome, just a 3km run can put me out of exercise for three weeks unable to walk properly, i was recommended these excersies but was wondering how long it would take to improve my state using these. if i did this all daily.

Sha September 6, 2020 - 11:48

How many days should we do it to get the healing and result? Btw it’s a really helping video thanks ❤

Basho September 7, 2020 - 09:40

you guys should start a patreon. What this means is people, like me, who love your content could give you a few dollars a month to continue producing great quality videos. Keep up the great work

Doriath September 8, 2020 - 03:44

Thank you but I am a little bit scared hearing those cracking sounds from my hips. ��

Mikakazahn September 8, 2020 - 21:44

I really like your videos. Can you recommend some exercises for flat feet (pronation)?

Painsinger September 9, 2020 - 10:19

0:47 did you mean hip external rotation not internal? I have a weak GM on my left side and less femoral internal rotation as well. I have patellofemoral pain syndrome on that side from weightlifting and my physio said I have to increase internal rotation and release the TFL and IT band.

Tuzragore September 9, 2020 - 17:05

Great exercises. regardless of the sport I have worked with, Gluteus strength is always an issue. I thought for sure I would see clam shells on here. I’ve also read that a great way to add in core strengthening/stability is to perform the side-bridge with a clam shell action. It’s a great way to activate the layers of the abdominal muscles

Felv September 10, 2020 - 20:13

I finally find out my gluteus medius has caused my tight lower back muscles. I’ve been working on your exercises and noticed improvement. It helps to correct my posture too. Thank you.

Dainos September 11, 2020 - 14:46

Ballarin September 13, 2020 - 14:01

Hi. I sometimes feel pain on one side of my leg with pain on side of hip on my other side of leg. Is that dangerous?

Makus September 13, 2020 - 21:31

Great video, i`have question, when doing all this exercise my glutes want fire properly, hamstrings and back muscles but never glutes, I realize there are inhibited by something! Also is for Glute medius! Any sugestion or advice please, thx in advance!

Nacage September 14, 2020 - 00:44

I want to incorporate these workouts Into my workout routines! How can I do so? Should I workout both sides equally (same reps and sets per leg) or give my weak side more work (more reps and sets for my weak leg)

Silverdweller September 15, 2020 - 07:01

You make some very useful videos. I also appreciate your style of presentation.

Can weak gluteus medius muscles cause issues with the SI-joint?

Thanks

Tolkree September 15, 2020 - 19:43

These exercises really really really helped me. No more pain! So glad I found this video. Thank you.

Kajitilar September 16, 2020 - 17:34

Dalanaya September 18, 2020 - 12:13

Thank you! I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and your videos have played a massive role in my journey back to fitness! You are awesome! ❤️

Arikelv September 19, 2020 - 05:43

THANK YOU!!! I was having issues with switching on my left glute and after doing these exercises (especially the first 3) I started to feel a burn again! Woohoo!!!

Nuadariel September 20, 2020 - 07:10

Who knew da-butt would play hard to get? Maybe we should call “dead butt syndrome,” opossum butt?

Thetantrius September 20, 2020 - 13:38

Thanks Dr. Jo! My Chiropractor wants me to get my glutes to fire. These exercises will definitely do the trick. Thanks so much for all your good advice!

Molbine September 21, 2020 - 12:58

The 2nd exercise, the Side lying leg raise, my calf hurts and I don’t feel it in my glute. Any ideas why?

Dagdabor September 22, 2020 - 07:47

Thank you! I’ve been waiting for this channel to pump out more content

Adothis September 22, 2020 - 19:17

What if i try these and still feel the burn in my stronger side instead of my weaker side? ��

Bloodfire September 23, 2020 - 18:30

HI!
Any advice for someone with knocked knees, attempting to do these exercises?

Beazegda September 24, 2020 - 11:01

does this work straight away or do i have to continue doing these daily?

Nuara September 24, 2020 - 17:44

I have a question, should I do those exercices in both legs or just in right leg

Shadowforge September 25, 2020 - 10:10

Hi, may I know how to stretch this muscle after the training?

Majora September 26, 2020 - 05:13

Hi. Thank you. I find even with these exercises I am compensating and have pain in the compensatory muscles from long time compensation. How can I be sure my glute is activated?

Ianwyn September 27, 2020 - 07:42

Andromarin September 27, 2020 - 22:20

Nijin September 28, 2020 - 00:48

I subscribed as soon as I heard the opening! Priceless! And thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us, very much appreciated.

Balladodar September 28, 2020 - 18:58

If i were to choose one exercise for my GluteM, for example lying leg raises with a band or pelvic drops with weight, is there a benefit to one of them over the other?

Arisius September 29, 2020 - 13:53

Wonderful video but i have issue of uneven buttocks so should exercise help me to fix it out?

Forcescar September 30, 2020 - 04:47

Wow….Best exercise… just the 1st exercise itself made my glutes strong…. Take a bow….

Sajinn September 30, 2020 - 13:59

Malarim October 1, 2020 - 21:23

Can I do this for both side? Also, do I need to do more on the side I want to work on?

Iansius October 2, 2020 - 08:08

My butt’s burning. I have just tried the first exercise and I really can feel my butt muscle getting worked out. This is really exciting! Thank you!

Gardagar October 2, 2020 - 15:45

did a few in bed and can feel a burn. I think I’ve always had dead glutes.

Centrigrinn October 3, 2020 - 07:17

Im have been thru so many videos and everybody seems to copy the next guy. You are the fisrt person to actually give advice that works. Thank you truly i can eventually get relief. Really much appreciated

Opizel October 4, 2020 - 06:00

I have a really hard time squatting under a bar and sometimes 60 pounds feels physically draining

Kazar October 5, 2020 - 07:14

Thank you Doc. Jo and thank you Youtube for recommending this.I really needed 2nd exercise.Thank you very much.

Kathribor October 5, 2020 - 17:48

My butt feels much better now.

Kegal October 6, 2020 - 07:56

Can it be, that in begining me butt and hams hurt more. when I coud feel emprovment?

Bandibandis October 6, 2020 - 20:31

Hi doctor jo! Where can I purchase that pillow you’re using in this video?

Adriera October 7, 2020 - 14:44

If I do these exercises 3 times a day,everyday. When will it fix my gluteal amnesia?

Magar October 8, 2020 - 15:15

Hi! thanks a lot for sharing this information. Will this exercises help me in active middle split stretching? thank you!

Gazahn October 9, 2020 - 11:26

Hi Doc, would these just wake up your sleepy bum or would they also aid in toning it?

Nazshura October 10, 2020 - 06:18

I have a really flat butt & I just found this video & im gonna start doing them but I was wondering if by doing these exercises my butt will “grow” or get a better shape?

Badi October 10, 2020 - 15:07

You are so helpful. Do you have a video on clicking hips? I have clicking in my right hip when I try to extend my right leg all the way back when walking. So, it shortens the gait length on the right side since it’s uncomfortable to extend the stride all the way behind me when taking a step.

Bukus October 11, 2020 - 08:42

These are great! I have a very weak gluteus medius, so I will definitely be doing these. How often should I do these? Every day?

Shalinrad October 12, 2020 - 03:14

Thanks John Gibbons, indeed learned great stuffs from here. Bravo!

Saigda October 12, 2020 - 08:51

I love your videos. I have a question about something else. My tailbone is hurting quite a bit. Are there exercises I can do for this?

Trueseeker October 13, 2020 - 10:24

Hey Dr Jo, thank you so much for the video. I wanted to know if you can tell which muscle is getting activated? I have piriformis syndrome and I’d been doing clamshell with resistance band and later squat walks for a while. My doctor told me they don’t activate the flutes but tighten the piriformis more. Which is very confusing for me. Could you clarify please?

Nigelv October 13, 2020 - 22:51

Hi doctor Jo, i get pain in the buttocks while walking or sitting for long time..it feels like muscle get twisted.. suffering from this from last 2 years..I consulted so many doctors only thing they recommend is physio therapy..is there any permanent solution..please let me know the reason for this pain..this would be helpful.. thank you

Broadstone October 14, 2020 - 15:28

I have this issue. My physical therapist started me on these exercises right before my therapy ended two months ago. I seem to have no results yet. When should I be seeing results? I don’t feel like my muscles are any stronger. I do at least 20 reps (or until I cant handle the burn anymore) 2x a day 5 days a week. Are there any other tips to help with muscle development? Should I be getting more protein than average, taking supplements, etc? I feel the burn in my butt with these exercises, but when I do other exercises like squats and deadlifts I only feel it in my legs so I know my butt still isn’t firing up when it should. My legs are dominant.

Forceforge October 15, 2020 - 08:39

If the gluteus medius is very weak is it advisable to train it every day, just vary the intensity, sets/reps or types of exercise?

Tocage October 16, 2020 - 09:19

At last I got what I needed. My left glute is dead whereas my right glute is working fine and has grown stronger. I had a bone tumour in my left femur which ate near about 70% bone of a specific place. After a surgery my tumour is removed and that place is fixed properly. But I had to stay in complete bedrest for several months which resulted in a dead left glute. I could actually feel it before locating the place but I wasn’t sure. Thanks for your excercises. Love from India.

Cerebandis October 16, 2020 - 21:15

Sir my right glutes is smaller than the left glutes. What should I do?

Mana October 17, 2020 - 08:41

I’m suffering from severe deadbutt syndrome, to the point that the muscle has atrophied.
What can I do to help my butt activate and my hamstring not do all the work. Because that is what is occurring, thanks!

Cordadi October 18, 2020 - 07:11

This is an extremely helpful video, I got that problem and because deadlifting and squats my knee starting to hurt a lot, after going to the physiotherapist (I thought my knee was being problematic) it was because of the this same problem and need to activate the muscles before doing my routine and then the problem was solved and my knee stopped hurting because of this activation exercises, it’s a must if you are like me and have to be sitting most of the day in front of the computer and then go to the gym.

Nadi October 18, 2020 - 15:39

I have pain in my Gluteus Medius region. when I stand on one leg and push that hip out to the side it intensifies. When I lay on a small ball on that region I have noticed it has trigger points, a lot of pain (though i don’t know if this is normal as I never put a ball there when I wasn’t feeling anything.) Also, I have lower back stiffness feeling. And if I lean backwards PLUS to the side I get pain in that corner of my lower back over my hip. I don’t know if this is all connected. Any suggestions would be brilliant!…..Oh forgot to mention there seems to be sensitive parts in my glute max when i lay on that too. no pain from it though.

Akizuru October 20, 2020 - 14:02

I had hip replacements in 2010 and for the last 3 months I’ve had pain in my right but cheek that increases when I do stretches that indicate it’s coming from the facet joint. The pain stops me in my tracks and comes and goes similar to a labor contraction. The pain is somewhat constant and flares up into the contraction type of immobilizing episodes happening every time I walk. Turning right leg first seems to consistently trigger the intense pain. I’m normally very active and have not had any limitations or complications with the porcelain and titanium DePuy replacement. When Covid -19 happened my lifestyle became sedimentary by 70% and that’s when the pain started. The bone or joint that I can feel located on the lower outer rear to side of by butt cheek feels somewhat numb on the skin or surface layers with a isolated intense pain deeper in the the low middle of butt. As the contraction type pain grows in intensity it radiates but rarely travels down my leg unless I’m laying down, then the pain can be felt throughout my entire leg and is unbearable. Squatting down to pick up something feels like the hip joint is unstable or weak. Note: I successfully had T9-12 and C4-7 discs removed and fused in 2015 and am not experiencing any changes in how they have felt throughout.

Kellador October 21, 2020 - 16:24

Hello John. I have been having stabbing pain on left hip bone, buttocks, n groin. The pain is so severe that i need to take tramadol daily. I have been struggling with endometriosis since 10 yrs with 2 surgeries done. Could you please suggest any exercise or drug to get rid of this excruciating pain??

Gasho October 22, 2020 - 06:03

i get severe stabbing pain groin area,hips and genital area…after cessations of antidepressants….please tell me something…it all started after stopping antidepressants drugs….it has improved over the time but still gets very bad flare ups

Sharpscar October 22, 2020 - 16:17

Sir, I am a 30-year-old fit and active male in the military. The onset of my symptoms started after splitting wood with an ax. I’ve had groin pain, flank pain, buttocks pain, and lower back pain that radiates down my leg, and pain in the groin that runs to the side of the testicle. Also some hamstring pain. It is dull, then feels like burning pain the next day. I have had two physical examinations from a urologist and a primary care provider. Also had an ultrasound of the testicles and a full CT scan of the midsection and back. Everything was normal. Pain is still here. What is your recommendation. Thank you very much

Nalmezar October 23, 2020 - 12:47

Hey doc, thanks. I am interested in your pillow. Where did you buy it?

Domeena October 23, 2020 - 22:53

Thank you so much. I have been having knee and buttock pain lately after Years of HIIT exercise. Pain is not that severe. My question is should I rest completely or activities like walking or biking ok? Thanks a lot!

Dawnredeemer October 24, 2020 - 22:20

Dear John Gibbons. Ths is the first time that I have heard a satisfactory explanation to what I am feeling. My hip was x-rayed and diagnosed as ostheo arthritic. The pains/discomfort I feel seems to shift from the side of my lumbar spine to middle of my buttock, to groin, to outside of the knee, front of knee, and when doing yoga, especially trying to balance on the affected leg, i feel unstable/unsupported by my hip joint, and with certain rotations, it feel like the femur moves over a bumpy area and clicks. I am 70, and from 4 years ago I had a couple of difficult years, when I stopped doing yoga and other exercises. When I started to practise again, I found my left hip to be rather stiff, and foolishly did kick-boxing for a couple of months, when my hip started to give me these problems. I very much believe in natural cures. Do you think that there is any chance of regeneration with special diet and special strengthening exercises?

Windshade October 25, 2020 - 10:49

I have pain in my right buttock and right testical pls pls pls any one help me��

Would you say people are born with CAM lesions, and PINCER lesions, or is it something you can develop with age?

Mauzilkree October 26, 2020 - 17:04

Jhon I’ve had bulging disk l5-s1. But also the hip glute psoas and knee feels as if they right leg is tight tilted or raised. Could it be the pelvis causing all this or the bulging itself?

Kelegra October 27, 2020 - 12:11

Thank you so much… always enjoy your presentations. Brilliant revision and learning.

Hey I recently make a video on how to identify Trendelenburg gait on my Channel.

Bandira October 29, 2020 - 06:05

Great content! Really liked the fact that you presented the term from all angles, starting with how the term came to be. If you fix the audio it will be perfect! Great job keep it up!!

Migal October 30, 2020 - 00:04

I really tried the side bridge but why do I feel that it is put too much stress on my knee, especially the injured one. While the others feel really good and activate my glute med, also like a standing on one leg star drill really activates my glute med.

Mule October 30, 2020 - 10:11

Great content, but your audio is blown out, which also makes the speaker sound a little mush-mouthy. Position that mic a liiiittle further away.

Silvercaster October 31, 2020 - 06:30

I have sitting job. And I have pain in right side. Also causes pain in hips and lower back. What exercises or stretch I need to do.

Ragebourne October 31, 2020 - 15:42

@physiotutors where do I have to put the resistance band in the first exercise? Over the knees?

Akinoktilar November 1, 2020 - 17:22

My Chiropractor tells me I need to start doing glute activation excersizes to recover from my prior injury and time I had to rest for, and these should work! Thank you for being so informative and clear in your video ��

Androlv November 2, 2020 - 09:28

During any of these are we supposed to purposefully flex our butt muscles or just let them be? Also are there any versions that can be done in the pool? Thanks

Drelabor November 2, 2020 - 22:29

We would love to post and boost this on on our Facebook page but FB is flagging the term “butt” as being “profane” is there any way you can change the title so we can point people here?
