Gluteus Medius and Minimus Are More Postural Than Phasic

You and I have probably already seen it daily in the clinic. Gluteus medius and minimus get very tight and they restrict the hip and cause pain.    We have always heard that the glutes get inhibited. But when it comes to the glute medius and minimus, while they might be inhibited they are also short and tight like other postural muscles.   Research backs up that the glute med and minimus are primarily Type 1 slow twitch fibers like other postural muscles.    https://dergipark.org.tr/en/pub/anatomy/issue/68435/1152716     https://richardhazel.podia.com
