Unlock your lower back – #lowerbackpain #stretching

🧐 The Quadratus Lumborum (QL) is a deep muscle located on both sides of your lower back. It helps stabilize your spine, support your posture, and is involved in side bending and lifting motions.

💥 When the QL gets tight (often from sitting too much, poor posture, or overuse during exercise), it can cause lower back pain and stiffness, making it an area that deserves special attention.

✅ Here’s a simple yet effective stretch to release tension in your QL:

1. Start on all fours
2. Straighten one leg
3. Twist hip to ground
4. Feel stretch in side of hip and lower back

⏲️ Try this stretch for 30-60 seconds on each side

🤩 Incorporating this stretch into your routine can help ease lower back discomfort, improve mobility, and support overall posture.
