Namaste Friends, I am Ritesh and today I will be introducing you to a muscles that’s very important, in fact its the emperor, Did you know that you can simultaneously improve your posture, stabilize your knee and hip joints, and relieve your lower back pain by engaging this muscles. Primary among these muscles is the under appreciated “emperor” of postural integrity, the caboose, I mean the tushi, that also know as your buttocks, gluteus maximus—along with the deeper gluteal muscles: gluteus medius and gluteus minimus. If we don’t (which is quite often the case), the result is joint problems as well as overdeveloped and tight hamstrings. Friends These two smaller, deeper muscles i.e you Glute Medius & Minimus make up more of your “side butt” and are responsible for leg abduction and internal and external rotation. Yoga is a great way to strengthen all three of the glute muscles and keep them supple. We will talk about the asanas. Maximizing the strength of your glute muscles isn’t just about looking great in your yoga pants. Having a powerful backside is incredibly important for hip stability and proper posture. If you have lower back pain or wish to reduce the risk of injury and enhance stability in the hips for improved exercise. Whether its Tennis, Badminton, Cycling or even a Marathon Runner. Now let us understand what is Glute Medius, What Is The Gluteus Medius GM abducts your hip joint, which simply means that it moves your leg outwards away from your other leg. It also acts to stabilise your pelvis and keep it level when one foot is off the ground. Obvious examples are when you’re walking or running. When one foot is down and the other is up, it is the gluteus medius on the side that is down that is working. All the balancing standing posture in yoga Helps you to strengthen the Glute Medius. Now how does this Glute Medius cause a Lower Pain. & that’s the important one to understand. How Does The Gluteus Medius Cause Lower Back Pain So A tight or weak gluteus medius can cause your QL, what is QL Quadratus Lumborum, to take over a job it wasn’t designed for, leading to lower back pain, Now The quadratus lumborum (QL) is a deep muscle in your lower back. It runs from your hip to your lumber vertebrae and up to your lowest rib. It is used when you bend at the waist to one side and when straightening your back after bending down. But what does this have to do with your gluteus medius? Well if you have a tight, weak or painful gluteus medius, whatever the cause, your QL will take over the role of hip abduction when walking(2). This means your QL does a job it wasn’t designed for which puts excessive stress on your lower back. That’s just one example of how your gluteus medius can cause lower back pain. Attempting to treat your lower back with stretching or even massage can provide some relief. But unless the underlying cause, the gluteus medius, is also dealt with it will only be temporary. WHY DOES THE GLUTE MEDIUS BECOME WEAK? the gluteus medius muscle becomes weak due to increased sitting and a sedentary lifestyle. Sitting too often can increase hip flexor tightness and reduce glute muscle strength. It is essential to add regular strengthening and mobility exercises for this muscle group as part of your yogic sequence. Pain In Your Gluteus Medius Gluteus medius pain is most commonly felt along your belt line Although the cause of your lower back pain could be your gluteus medius, you might not actually feel any pain in that area. If the muscle is just weak or tight you probably won’t realise there is an issue with it. This is because your QL is doing the work instead. But it’s doing work it’s not designed for, which is why it’s your back that hurts instead. How to treat lower back pain we will talk in the next video with asana and other exercises Till then take care, keep smiling, Namaste Like|Share|Comment ✅CLICK TO SUBSCRIBE TO THIS CHANNEL ➤https://bit.ly/Subscribeyoga ◾YOGA: A WAY OF LIFE (एक जीवन शैली)◾ ✅ YOGA ALIGNMENT SERIES: ➤ https://bit.ly/yogaalignment ✅ YOGA BREATHING SERIES:➤ https://bit.ly/ScienceofBreathing ✅ YOGA SUTRA OF PATANJALI SERIES:➤ https://bit.ly/patanjaliyogasutra ✅ YOGA NIDRA SERIES: The sleeping meditation➤ https://bit.ly/bestyoganidra ✅ SHATKRIYAS SERIES: The cleansing techniques➤ https://bit.ly/Shatkriyas ✅ YOGA IN HINDI➤ https://bit.ly/yogainhindi ✅ CORPORATE YOGA SERIES➤ https://bit.ly/chairyoga123 ✅ PILATES SERIES➤ https://bit.ly/PilatesandCoreYoga ✅ MISCELLANEOUS➤ https://bit.ly/miscellaneous123 ✅ 200 Hrs.
