📚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.

📚The anterior compartment of the forearm contains the muscles that flex the wrist and fingers and contribute to grip strength.

🧠Soft tissue mobilization (massage) of these muscles is commonly used in physical therapy to help manage symptoms associated with conditions such as medial elbow pain (golfer’s elbow) and some wrist and forearm disorders.

🔎For medial elbow pain, I typically work through the muscle bellies in the forearm rather than applying pressure directly to the medial epicondyle. Start in the distal-to-mid forearm and gradually work toward the inside of the elbow. Starting all the way down at the wrist usually isn’t necessary because most of the muscle tissue is located farther up the forearm.

👉Keep in mind that soft tissue mobilization is primarily a way to temporarily modulate symptoms and improve comfort with movement or exercise. It isn’t necessary to assume that massage is “breaking up” scar tissue or permanently changing the muscle.

✅The app both include a comprehensive golfer’s elbow program that demonstrates how to perform these types of soft tissue mobilizations on yourself, along with exercises designed to progressively build strength and capacity. Click the link below to access this program.

👉 Here is a great dissection video that shows the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles, which make up our calf complex.

🔎In this video, you can see the following muscle regions:

1️⃣Gastrocnemius Medial Head

2️⃣Gastrocnemius Lateral Head

3️⃣Soleus

4️⃣Achilles Tendon

✅If you have a calf or Achilles injury, make sure to check out the calf and Achilles rehab program here in the app. The program guides you through three phases of rehab and will teach you some of the best exercises for improving mobility and strength. Click the link below to access this program.
