Scientists are starting to sound the alarm because this condition is increasingly common among young people, and it's causing a lot of problems. So what is "dead butt syndrome"?
It's not entirely clear from the name, but this "syndrome" is most often found in those who work in an office.
The problem is that long hours of sitting cause the gluteal muscles to lose tone and function poorly. This puts strain on the lower back, knees, and hip joints.
To prevent this, you need to get up every 30-60 minutes, exercise, or at least walk. ![]()
