If your low back gets tight on long hikes, rides, runs, or during strength training, there’s a good chance it’s working harder than it should.
We see a lot of people stretching and treating their back when the real issue is happening somewhere else — at the hips. When the hips and glutes aren’t doing their share of the work, the low back often steps in to compensate.
What We’ll Cover
Why your back compensates for under-active hips and glutes — and why stretching the back alone rarely fixes it.
The hip and glute strength that actually transfers to hiking, riding, running, and lifting.
Simple assessments and exercises you can use right away to keep your low back happy on every adventure.
