The Power of Gluteal Massage: Why Your Butt Muscles Matter More Than You Think

When people think about muscle tension, they often overlook one of the most powerful muscle groups in the body: the gluteals. These are your butt muscles, and they play an essential role in almost every movement you make—from walking and climbing stairs to simply standing up.
The Unsung Heroes of Movement and the Common Overlook
Your gluteal muscles are some of the largest and strongest muscles in your body. Yet, they’re often ignored in standard massages. Many spa or Swedish massage therapists don’t address the gluteal area, and clients might feel hesitant to ask because of societal taboos. But ignoring these muscles can have big consequences.
Why This Matters for Your Back, Your Nerves, and Beyond
Lower back pain is the most common complaint worldwide each year, and inflamed gluteal muscles are often a major cause. When your glutes are tight, they can’t support your movements properly, and that tension often travels up into your lower back.
But there’s more: inflamed gluteal muscles can also press on the sciatic nerve, a common cause of sciatica. In recent years, especially post-pandemic, sciatica has become a massive concern. By addressing the glutes, you can help alleviate this nerve compression and even reduce symptoms like numbness or tingling in the feet—what we often call peripheral neuropathy.
