Finally, the oft promised explanation of the connection between the butt muscles and the knees. This video shows how modern life upsets the balance of muscle action in the hip and how that becomes problematic when we try to exercise. Buttock pain can also be a sign of irritation of the lumbar discs and compression of nerves in the back. If you’re a patient of mine, make sure you’re cleared to do these exercises. If you’re not my patient, check with your doctor or spine specialist to make sure these exercises are OK for you. Make your butt functional and your knees will like you, your back will like you…and your friends will like you! :-) Get busy!
