The Best Quadratus Lumborum Stretching Exercise For Lower Back Pain

Dr. Mike Wasilisin of MoveU and Muscle & Fitnesss partners up once again to bring you the best way to decompress your back and relieve lower back pain caused by injury, bulging discs, and aging with this quadratus lumborum stretch. The quadratus lumborum, or ‘QL’ for short, is the deepest of all the back muscles. It connects the rib and hip, and is located on either side of the spine. People frequently experience quadratus lumborum related pain because this major muscle is used in many physical processes such as sitting, standing, walking, and of course exercising. Since the quadratus lumborum is frequently taxed, people commonly suffer from pain in this area, but there are simple ways to keep your back in good check like this QL stretch. #stretchingexercises #fitness #healthtips
