That's what experts call the condition in which the gluteal muscles weaken from prolonged sitting and stop working properly.
As a result, you may develop pain in the lower back, hips, and knees. You can check yourself with a simple test: try doing a single-leg glute bridge. If your pelvis tilts or the load immediately shifts to the back of your thigh, your muscles may not be working the way they should.
Fixing this isn't hard. Just get up from your desk more often, walk more, and add squats, bridges, and other glute exercises to your routine.
Looks like that's one more reason to take a coffee break ☕️
