Today’s video looks at rehab exercises for quadratus lumborum or QL muscle pain. The quadratus lumborum muscle is a low back muscle that runs from the iliac crest (top side of pelvis) to the 12th rib and the transverse processes (lateral projections) of the lumbar vertebrae.

The quadratus lumborum acts to move the spinal column through extension and ipsilateral (same side) sidebend and is considered a major postural muscle as it also acts to stabilize the low back and pelvis in the frontal plane of motion.Discomfort in the quadratus lumborum region is associated with many cases of low back pain and is typically reproduced with palpation of the muscle between the 12th rib and pelvic crest.

  • Love the way you compartmentalize the approach to rehab the QL - first relax it using the foam roller/ followed by gentle stretches under self body weight/ concluded by combined strengthening and stretching with dumbbells!!! Very impressive - thank you/ I'll be trying out your approach! Plus I'll check into your book as well! Thank you🌺

    I pulled a muscle on my right side months ago. I thought it was my oblique, but it's my QL that I have problems with. It affects my hip as well. Should I start with lower lb weights when strengthening to build the muscle to avoid another injury?

    What is the muscle just medial to the QL that runs parallel to the pelvis. That is where my pain is and it comes on when I have to bend over to lift something, break down gear, etc. Just on the right side.
