Following on from the posts from the previous days it’s important not only to relax and lengthening the hip flexors, the other part of the solution, is we need to help the glutes switch on and activate them in order to help correct the alignment of the lower back and pelvis. The majority of people with lower back pain have glutes that don’t ‘turn on’ (otherwise known as glute amnesia or inhibition). Additionally, your hamstrings likely ‘feel’ tight because the glutes don’t fire.
You need to perform more Glute activation work such as the Glute Bridge and clams. You should do this every day 1-3 sets of 15-20 repetitions. No gym is needed so there are no excuses.
