Release Your Glutes to Relax your Back 😌

Ease lower back pain through releasing the glutes

Did you know?! Not a day goes by when I don’t have at least one client on my table with an achy lower back that’s really just suffering from tension in their glutes. Here’s how it works:

The glutes are the powerhouse to your movement, which means they are ON and engaged while walking, running, squatting and even standing. Glute functionality is imperative when simply going to sit down in a chair, to put it in perspective. Because they do so much for us, the likelihood that they are holding some tension in them is certain. The issue comes from when they’re working hard for too long without any chance to relax and the tension within them actually builds up and keeps them from being able to work properly. That dysfunction leads to disengagement, which then leads to compensation from other muscle groups, the next most convenient being your hamstrings and lower back.

Now you’re in a situation where the glutes aren’t supporting basic movements anymore on account of them being tight, so the lower back takes over jobs that it’s not supposed to be responsible for. Hence, achiness and pain.

So let’s roll the glutes! It’s easy but it takes time. Do it along with me and we’ll get it done right.

Grab your Roller and Let’s Get Those Glutes

Thank you for your survey responses!

I super appreciate the feedback and what I took away from it was this:

I’ll be sprinkling in some live “FLASH CLASSES” a couple times a month. They will be quick and at various times. They will also be hyper focused on one area of the body. Look for these classes on the schedule, but members and anyone who has taken class in the last 3 months will be notified via email.
I will upload these quickies to the On Demand platform for focused and fast workouts
I’m scaling back my Roll class uploads and will upload live Roll classes to the platform a couple times a month instead of each week.

All of your feedback was wonderful, and although I want to be everything you need, there are some things I don’t have the time or technology to do. But I am keeping your requests in mind! Thank you!

Grab your soft roller or stack of blankets because we are doing PRONE glute work in this class! I missed it!

This class is safe for pregnistas and post-pregnistas (my pregnant buddies) and is all about the abdominals. You won’t need a thing except a soft, friendly floor.
