ADSactly Health: Your butt hurts? Check this out…

in #adsactly5 years ago



Maybe when you saw this publication you thought it was a joke, maybe the title made you curious. However, it is a serious issue that affects our health and invites us to be alert.
The advancement of technology has made it possible for many of our activities to change radically. At present, making purchases, paying for services, even earning a living, is possible through an internet connection; however, this has brought as a consequence, in part of the population, a sedentary life, harmful to health, promoting diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity and cardiovascular problems, as well as complications like the one we are going to treat today: the "Dead Butt Syndrome", also known as "Gluteal Amnesia".
The muscles of the gluteal area are of great importance because they work constantly to maintain a balance that allows us to walk properly and avoid problems in the waist, back and up to the ankles. This syndrome originates when the gluteus medius, one of the three main muscles in this area, stops functioning correctly, atrophy and loses strength, becomes inflamed and forgets to function normally.

The gluteus medius is a thick, wide muscle located on the outer surface of the pelvis. Weakness of this muscle can occur when you spend many hours or prolonged time sitting in a chair. As indicated by the function of this muscle, Gluteal Amnesia can cause pain in the lower back and hip; it can also cause problems in the knee and ankle, as the body tries to compensate for the imbalance

"Sitting too long limits blood flow, leading to gluteal amnesia, which in turn can lead to hip pain, lower back pain and ankle problems. Your buttocks may not respond correctly even if you do exercises focused on them," says Donovan Green, personal trainer of celebrities "

However, although prolonged sitting is profiled as the leading cause of this condition, Kristen Schuyten, who is a physical therapist at Michigan Medical Center, warns that it can also occur in active individuals who don't work their buttock muscles properly. The therapist explains that when the buttocks stop working properly, either because of inactivity and lack of stimuli, causes tension in other muscles and joints, causing weaker muscles to perform the work of the buttocks

What are the symptoms?

-Severe pain affecting the lower back.
-Discomfort at hip level
-Discomfort in the knee joints
-Pain in the ankles.

These symptoms are usually associated with another type of disease which causes a separate treatment, ignoring, in many cases, that it is a "Gluteal Amnesia" or the so-called "Dead Butt Syndrome".

How is gluteal amnesia detected?

To diagnose this disease you can perform this easy and simple exercise yourself, even before going to the doctor, called the "Trendelenburg" test:
  • While standing, lift one leg, extending it forward.
  • You have to be aware of any change by touching the pelvis on the side of the body where the leg was lifted.
  • Do the same procedure with the opposite leg.
  • If during the exercise you noticed that there was a sinking of the side of the body where the leg was lifted, then it represents that the muscle is atrophied on the opposite side. It is important to add that this condition can also generate a pronounced curvature of the back and cause severe pain in the lumbar region.

    How to prevent "Amnesia Gluteal" or "Dead Butt Syndrome"?

    As mentioned earlier, one of the causes of this disorder is a sedentary lifestyle; however, there are cases in which people who are very active do not work this muscle enough. Some important suggestions that can help to avoid this disease are the following:
    -Do a brief routine a day: Spend a few minutes doing squats or exercises aimed at strengthening the buttocks
    -If your work forces you to sit at a desk, try to stand up from time to time, walk around it a little.
    -The massages will help you a lot, so stimulate those buttocks at night, or tell that special person to do it for you, for this you can apply special products for the muscles.
    As mentioned at the beginning of this publication, it is normal today to spend much of the day sitting with our cell phones or in front of the computer; likewise, having to go by car or public transportation somewhere rather than walking is also common. However, it is important to consider a daily routine (even a few minutes) working all areas of our body. This, without a doubt, will be fundamental for a healthy life. Even if we spend much of our time in front of a desk at work, investing in our body and well-being will never be a waste, so win the battle with "Dead Tail" and turn it around.

    I wonder. I'm dealing with hip, pelvis, butt issues. It's like it cant walk. I feel like I'm in the gravetron. It got worse here recently. But this is interesting. I'm going to try the test tomorrow. This will be interesting.

    Enlightening posts.


    In ergonomic gymnastics it will help flex muscles and joints. With loose muscles and reduced tension, they will return to freshness. however, we also have to look in more detail, because the pain in the tailbone of the surrounding area can also indicate symptoms of falling trauma in the past, or internal organ diseases that give symptoms to the buttocks. All indeed must be examined further in order to overcome them with more proportional.
    Massage therapy is indeed very petrifying to make muscles and joints.
    Tips that are worth a try!

    thank you @adsactly
    Thank you Steemit
    Warm regard from Indonesia

    Very interesting.
    I get a lot of pain in my lowe back now that I am not workign a regular job/schedule.
    Since we have a critical transportation crisis and have to walk extremely long distances to move from one part of town to the next, I have been rescheduling errands to avoid walking that much.
    Additionally I spend as much time as I can working on the computer.
    Maybe I have started to show symptoms of this disease.
    Very informative. Sometimes we take for granted that iddleness comes at no price.
    Great job, guys

    Very relevant article for both those of us who spend a lot of time sitting at work (at home or away). As well as for those who, by entering a certain age, tend to lose muscle mass in that area of the body, or by limitations in their diet and lack of exercise.
    Personally I suffer a little pain there, which are indeed very annoying, but I am relieved with some yoga asanas and the use of cold water or ice.
    Your recommendations, @luces, are very useful. Thank you.

    I haven't had these symptoms until now, but I infer that because of the long time I've been devoting to the computer in the last few months, I will soon have many of these symptoms. It seems incredible, in my case as a teacher, the hours we can spend sitting. That's why when I can, I walk, even inside the classroom. Moving, walking, standing (if you don't have problems) can be beneficial to your lower extremities. As for the buttocks, it would be interesting to do daily exercises that strengthen and develop that part of your body. Good post, @luces.

    you know what, i think i might be suffering from this condition. my requires me to sit a lot and sit a lot i do. My butt goes numb when i sit for a while forcing me to wiggle my legs frequently. ive also developed some lower back pain, so uncomfortable men.
