This video is a gentle progression, so make sure you do the previous video for at least 2 weeks before progressing to this gentle progression.
The clinical term for this condition is gluteus medius tendinopathy, though it’s also often referred to as gluteal amnesia.
As you might expect from its common name, the condition results from the gluteal muscles essentially “forgetting” their main purpose: supporting the pelvis and keeping your body in proper alignment.
Moving more and sitting less can help prevent or treat dead butt syndrome,
Symptoms of DBS
After sitting for a long time, the gluteal muscles (glutes) in your buttocks can feel numb or even a little sore. But walking and some mild stretching can bring them back to life fairly quickly.
In more serious cases, the symptoms of dead butt syndrome can cause pain and stiffness elsewhere.
A loss of strength in your glutes and hip flexors can also occur if DBS isn’t treated. If one hip in particular is affected, it may hurt just by lying down on that side.
DBS can even lead to inflammation of the hip bursa, a fluid-filled sac that eases movement within the hip joint. Other signs of bursitis (bursa inflammation) include pain and swelling around the affected area.
Pain in your lower legs can also result because of balance and gait problems triggered by DBS symptoms.
The gluteal medius is one of the smaller muscles in the buttocks, and the tendons that support it are vulnerable to this kind of injury.
Interestingly, people who run a lot are at a higher risk of DBS if they spend too much of their non-running time at a desk.
Treating DBS
The proper treatment for dead butt syndrome will depend on how far it has progressed and on your physical activity goals. If you’re a runner trying to get back on track as soon as possible, you’ll want to work closely with a sports medicine specialist to return to action safely.
The simplest preventive strategy for dead butt syndrome is to break up long periods of sitting with periodic walks.
If you need a reminder, set a timer on your phone or computer to alert you every hour or half hour. The movement will stimulate blood flow to the tight areas and revive your “dead butt.”
In general, try to take the stairs as often as possible. Not only does this activate the muscles and tendons affected by DBS, but it’s a good weight-bearing and cardiovascular workout.
