Dead buttock syndrome is also known as gluteal amnesia. This concept was developed by back mechanics expert Dr. Stuart McGill, who explained that our gluteal muscles literally forget how to work.

When the gluteal muscles do not work properly, other muscles and joints are put under strain. Our pelvis may lower, our lumbar spine hurts, our knees and ankles hurt, we are more susceptible to painful inflammation of the muscles in the calves and Achilles tendons, and our hip mobility deteriorates.
