The Quadratus Lumborum stretch or “QL” stretch is great for anyone experiencing lower back tightness and/or pain. The quadratus lumborum muscle helps hold the spine upright and helps to stabilize the spine as we are standing, sitting and moving. If you feel some tightness and aching in the lower back, chances are the QL muscle could be affected and contributing to the discomfort. Many times, posture plays a large roll in how this muscle functions. This video from our outstanding Naples FL chiropractor Scott Weiland demonstrates an effective way to stretch the QL muscle and help to alleviate the tightness and discomfort in the lower back.
