In Part 2 of the 3-Part Glute Series, you’ll learn… 🔎 There are 4 common causes of weak glutes — and each one needs a different approach. In this video, I’ll show you how to figure out which one is holding yours back. #1 has to do with tight muscles in the front of the hip. #2 starts in the spine and shuts things down from the source. #3 is all about the way your pelvis is aligned. #4 addresses your hamstrings being a little too helpful. 💡 But heads up: if you’re “positive” for the hamstring test, it could be overused hamstrings… OR it could mean that the hip is preventing you from lifting the thigh when your knee is bent. Watch closely and try each test to figure out what’s really going on. 🔥 And stay tuned for Part 3 coming out tomorrow, where I’ll show you 4 treatments for weak glutes (one for each cause)! #neckpain glutes posturefix gluteactivation mobilitytraining physicaltherapy painrelief 01/08/2026

Sitting for hours can tighten your hip flexors—especially the Psoas—pulling your pelvis forward into an anterior tilt. This shift puts extra strain on your lower back, compresses spinal discs, and creates a ripple effect up your body—leading to rounded shoulders, weak shoulder blade activation, and poor upper body posture. The good news? You can gently reverse this. Here are three daily positions to restore your Psoas to its proper length and tension. 🔥 Ready to break the cycle? The Posture Guy Mike App gives you a FREE 3-Day Trial with 50+ guided programs designed to restore posture, relieve pain, and realign your body. No gimmicks—just practical, effective exercises you can do at home. Comment “GET STARTED” or tap the link in my bio to begin today. 💥 Want an even bigger win? Comment “BIG DEAL” to save over $100 on an annual membership and unlock full access to every program—including routines for forward head posture, kyphosis, plantar fasciitis, anterior pelvic tilt, knock knees, and more. Your posture isn’t just about sitting up straight—it’s about creating balance and strength from your hips to your shoulders.

Painful ‘knots’ in your muscles that never seem to go away? Comment ‘PILLOW’ below for a copy of my FREE Pillow Guide! These knots are actually called “Trigger Points,” and they form when muscles are overstretched or shortened for too long— often from bad posture or using your muscles the wrong way. Once a trigger point forms, that area gets less oxygen, lactic acid builds up, and pain sets in. The muscle tenses up more, which reduces oxygen even further, creating a painful cycle. Step 1 – Disrupt Tight Tissue Find the tender trigger point and use a tool with a hard tip to apply firm pressure. Hold it, or move up and down or side to side. You’ll feel it “flick” under the tool. This breaks up the tight bands of tissue. Step 2 – Tighten & Stretch Make the affected muscle work for 10 seconds, then stretch it for 10 seconds. Repeat. This improves circulation, flushes out lactic acid, and brings fresh oxygenated blood to the area. Step 3 – Move Above & Below Move the joints above and below the painful area. This activates mechanoreceptors, releases endorphins, and reduces substance P, all of which decrease pain sensitivity and help your muscles reset. With these three steps, you can finally start fixing trigger points instead of just managing the pain. And if you want to make sure they don’t form while you sleep, comment “PILLOW” and I’ll send you my free pillow guide to keep your muscles happy overnight! #triggerpoints #musclerelief #painfree #selfcaretips #musclerecovery #healthylifestyle Source: Tang S, Sheng L, Wei X, et al.
