What Is Dormant Butt Syndrome And Do You Have It?

Posted by Valentine Belue on Monday, May 20, 2024

Your butt plays a more significant role in your body's overall health than you think. While you may hit the gym to get a big, toned booty to boost your confidence, you're simultaneously strengthening other body parts as well. According to Glamour, your butt strength essentially determines how well other parts of your body function and feel. If you have a strong bottom, chances are, the rest of your body (like your legs, hips, and back) will have a solid foundation to work on. On the other hand, having a weak butt could lead to pain, discomfort, and tightness in those areas.

If you sit on your bottom all day and notice several muscles in your body ache, you may have dormant butt syndrome. But even athletes and frequent gym-goers can develop this condition due to neglecting their glute muscles while working out (per Motion Health). One visual way of identifying this condition is if you have, sorry, "pancake butt" (per Glamour). While that isn't a 100% tell telltale sign (so don't worry if you just have a tiny frame and naturally have a little booty), it can indicate that you have dormant butt syndrome.
