What is glute media relief?

Glute medius relief involves addressing trigger points and tension in the gluteus medius muscle, a common site of tightness and pain. Jeff Cavaliere explains a technique to relieve these points by applying pressure with a finger and moving the muscle through its functions, such as pressing down and lifting up ("toe stabber" action). This helps to ease the trigger points and provide immediate relief. However, recurring issues can arise if the underlying postural or strength imbalances are not corrected. It's crucial to train and strengthen the gluteus medius to fully stabilize and correct its function, which differs from the gluteus maximus in that it involves abduction and external rotation of the hip 1.
