Benefits of Butt Massage
Ever had a pain in the butt? and I don't mean the nagging, annoying person you want to leave you alone. Our glutes or Gluteal muscles commonly know as the buttock muscles are a combination of fat and muscle. They include gluteus medius, gluteus maximus, and gluteus minimus. Together the buttocks are among the largest group of muscles in the body and essisenial for us to have stability, movement, and posture. In short, they’re very important.
Why Butt Massage Is Important?
When they're injured, weak or underdeveloped from not being used properly, the glutes can cause a variety of issue from lower back and hip pain to reduction in your range of motion. A butt massage can help to treat issues like these and a host of related problems that may come from having shortened glute muscles. By stretching and pushing on glute muscles it will helps to increase circulation, improve range of motion, and boost muscle stability.
Now just a quick side note, for those of you that have had a sought after medical procedure commonly referred to as a BBL or Brazilian butt lift which a professional cosmetic surgeon expels any undesirable fat from the midriff, back, legs, arms or flanks and moving it in the butt cheek zone. By doing this procedure the person would expect a measurable change in the shape of the "butt." A massage of the butt post-op can help to reduce inflammation, help to break up scare tissue or lumpy areas and increase blood flow to the gluteal muscle which can help to give a natural feel and look to the butt.

Massaging the butt helps relax the all-important gluteal muscles and eases pressure on other parts of the back, spine, and legs. Through a good assessment and a few questions I am able to determine why the glutes may not be firing properly and address any muscular issues through targeted massage.
Butt massage can also reduce leg pain caused by tight muscles, lack of stretching, bursitis, a condition where fluid-filled sacs for cushioning your joints, or using improper form while exercise. Like the back, your legs rely on your butt’s glute muscles to coordinate a lot of important activities, from walking and running to moving from sitting and standing positions.
