Your lumbar spine absorbs 3x more force when your glutes and hip rotators stop firing. Here’s the 3-exercise fix. Your lower back is not the problem. It is the victim. When your glutes stop firing, your deep hip rotators lock up, and your adductors shorten from years of sitting, your lumbar spine becomes the only thing holding you together. It was never designed for that job. So it tightens, it compresses, and eventually it starts screaming at you. The conventional response is to stretch the back or foam roll it. But you are treating the symptom and ignoring the cause. The cause is a chain of muscles around your hips and pelvis that have gone dormant. Until you wake them back up and strengthen the support system around your spine, the pain will keep coming back. This reel breaks down three exercises that target the real culprits. Spinal erectors, gluteus medius, and adductors. Each one attacks a different link in the compensation chain that is overloading your lower back. Save this...
