CROSSFIT SUFFOLK: Powered By SPARTAN PERFORMANCE
Captain Matt and his merry band of Matt-ineers decided to workout out at sea yesterday!
ACHES AND PAINS? YOU COULD HAVE DORMANT BUTT SYNDROME Speaking with Dr. Jon Belmonte of Max Effort Physical Therapy we have learned that a failure or inability to activate the glutes is fairly common. Surprisingly this is true among high level athletes. It is possible to be a skilled, well conditioned athlete and not engage the glutes. Belmonte has seen this in athletes who are decent runners as well as those who squat and deadlift. Bottom line: Just because you are engaged in an activity that should activate your glutes doesn’t mean you necessarily are doing so. If you are experiencing pain such as the pain described in the article you would be wise to get a full body assessment at Max Effort Physical Therapy.

Pretty good abstract on the glutes involvement in spinal/LE dysfunctions!
Jon–I wish you had made this comment on today’s blog post (June 15th). It would have been a good fit with the other comments made. 🙂
