The shoulder bridge prevents lower back compression caused by sitting too much. Constant sitting makes your hip flexors tight, which tells your glutes to "switch off." This tips your pelvis forward, crushing your lower back. The bridge fixes this by stretching the tight front muscles while forcing the glutes to wake up and work. It levels out your pelvis, taking the pressure off your spine and teaching your body to support itself with your hips instead of your back.
