The 10 Glute Stretches You Need If You Work at a Desk
- Tight glutes can cause "a ripple effect" in your hips, legs, and even down to your toes. Physical therapists offer expert tips on how to stretch the body's biggest muscle.

- Seated Figure Four Stretch - Helps open the hips and stretch the glutes while seated.
2. Pigeon Pose - A yoga pose that deeply stretches the glutes and hip flexors.
3. Lying Glute Stretch - Involves lying on your back and pulling one knee towards the opposite shoulder.
4. Standing Glute Stretch - Can be done at the desk, involving crossing one leg over the other and bending forward.
5. Piriformis Stretch - Targets the piriformis muscle, which can cause sciatic pain if tight.
6. Seated Glute Stretch - Similar to the standing version but performed while seated.
7. Butterfly Stretch - Aims at the inner thighs but also stretches the glutes.
8. Supine Figure Four Stretch - A variation of the seated figure four, done lying down.
9. Hip Flexor Stretch - Although primarily for hip flexors, it indirectly benefits the glutes by improving hip mobility.
10. Glute Bridge - While not a stretch, it activates and strengthens the glutes, helping to counteract the effects of prolonged sitting.
