Like Chubbs always says “It’s all in the hips, it’s all in the hips.” #gluteusmedius The Gluteus Medius is one of our most important muscles necessary for walking, running, balance, and performance. Located underneath the Gluteus Maximus it supports our hips by helping as a shock absorber during walking and running activities. Despite its importance in our daily recreational activities, it is often the most neglected muscle when it comes to exercise. Adequate strength, activation and endurance of this muscle are essential for weight bearing activities and for injury prevention. 🧩🧩🧩 Although injury of the gluteus medius itself is rare, weakness in the muscle can lead to many conditions affecting the knee, hip, and back such as: • Gluteal Tendinopathy • Gluteal Muscle Strains or Tears • Patellofemoral Joint Pain • ITB Syndrome • Achilles Tendinopathy • Hamstring Injuries • Hip and Knee Osteoarthritis • Piriformis Syndrome • Low Back Pain See your PT to make sure your hips are functioning properly to help you get back to your normal, pain-free activity level. #humpday #hipday #paininthebutt #gluts #itsallinthehips #wednesdaywisdom #pt #titanpt #physio #physicaltherapy #backpain #hippain #kneepain #endurance #sleepybutt #mortalengines #wednesday #NinjaNicaA⭐️Collab -- (at Casa Sanchez Mexican Restaurant) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrBkouZHjJ9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1upp9879015xs
