What Is a Butt Wink?
Nova Health Club • June 28, 2019
The Butt Wink is a term used to describe when the low back rounds and the pelvis posteriorly tilts at the bottom of a squat.
When under load, this is not ideal as it causes undesired stress on the low back region and can lead to injuries down the road.
The reason for a Butt Wink is not always the same for everyone, however in many cases it can be due to poor mobility, or the inability to properly control your pelvis during squatting.
Below is one stretch and one movement exercise you can do at home to help fix your Butt Wink and keep you training injury free for a long time to come.
