The Forgotten Muscle — Your Glutes

They're your body's powerhouse, yet one of the most overlooked muscle groups: the glutes. In this episode, we explain why strong glutes are critical for spinal health, posture, athletic performance, and longevity — and what happens when they "turn off" from too much sitting. You'll learn how weak glutes lead to lower back strain, tight hips, and balance issues, and how simple daily activation can bring them back to life. We also highlight research from Dr. Heidi Haavik showing that chiropractic adjustments improve how the brain communicates with muscles, helping reawaken areas like the glutes that have gone quiet. Key takeaway: Your glutes are the foundation for movement and stability. Wake them up, and everything — from your spine to your stride — works better.
