📚The quadratus lumborum or QL 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.

🔎Discomfort in the QL region is observed in many cases of low back pain and is typically reproduced with palpation of the muscle between the 12th rib and pelvic crest.

🧠If you have pain in this region, give the massage technique in this video a try and let me know if you have any questions. As always, if you have pain that is either staying the same or worsening, make sure to see your local physical therapist.

✅The low back pain program here in the app will teach you mobilization techniques, stretches and strengthening exercises that can help reduce QL related back pain. Click the link below to open the low back pain program.
