What causes “Gluteal Amnesia” ?

Prolonged sitting> 5-7 hours / poor posture in standing. Standing in sway back  can lead to an inability to hold one’s beltline at a position parallel to the floor and this is the first sign of gluteal amnesia. This Gluteal amnesia and lack of centring of the hip in the socket can cause a scouring motion and overload of the anterior labrum.

So what do you need to be able to do correct this-

-Loads of isometrics of the gluts in sitting and standing.

-Position the Pelvis on the Femur correctly and centred in the acetabulum- correcting the posture in standing, squatting and all loaded positions.

-Control sway back of the pelvis.

-Stop hip hanging laterally and posteriorly.

-Increase the control in Rectus abdomens- to control the pelvic position in a A/P direction.

Stop the sitting ….and start the tolerance to standing, building endurance and good posture in the lumbar spine, hip and pelvis.
