Wall Butt Bump Exercise

This video shows a "wall butt bump" exercise typically given for low back patients. It teaches the body how to bend forward without rounding the low back. When the low back rounds, there is more pressure on the intervertebral discs. When the lumbar spine stays in a neutral arched position, the body utilizes the gluteus maximus muscle to perform the lift. This is biomechanically advantageous since this is the biggest muscle in the human body. Patients are typically instructed to perform 10 reps 3 times per day.
