Evidence Summary
Programs combining gluteal strengthening with core stabilization (often including bridging patterns) can improve pain, disability, and quality of life in chronic non-specific low back pain.
Evidence Type: RCTs
Health Benefits
RCT-level evidence for glute-focused strengthening added to stabilization in chronic LBP.
Cosmetic Benefits
Builds glute muscle. Foundation exercise for glute development programs.
How It Works
Bridge trains hip extension with relatively low spinal shear. Increases glute max contribution and potentially reduces compensatory lumbar extension moments.
Contraindications & Safety
Common errors: lumbar hyperextension at lockout, hamstring dominance/cramping.
