Summary
This study compares two exercise approaches for dead butt syndrome, a condition where the gluteal muscles become inactive, causing pain and discomfort. Forty participants will be randomly assigned to either gluteal activation exercises alone or combined with core strengthening. The trial will measure changes in pain, function, and fear of movement over 12 months.
