The muscles that make up the low back are the hamstrings (Biceps Femoris) which integrate into the glutes (Buttocks) and finally extending in to the lower back (Erector Spinae) muscle. Men have the most difficulty with low back pain but many women do as well. The simple answer is tight hamstrings and glutes, along with weakness in the hamstrings and glutes.
