The gluteus maximus is one of the strongest muscles in the body and biggest shock absorbers. If it's not working properly, it can cause a domino chain of issues.
Gluteal amnesia occurs when the muscles in your rear become so weak from inactivity they seem to forget to function, resulting in sluggish glutes.
Learning to engage the glutes can prevent pain and improve function, but it does not come naturally to most, even to those with strong glutes.
Your glutes are three muscles that stabilize the hip, lift the leg, and rotate the thigh, acting as a base to the spine.
