Is a Tight QL Causing Your Back Pain? | Quadratus Lumborum Muscle Tightness

What exercises can be done?

[@ccturner8224]

Excellent! We massage therapists just focus on the ql like it's the major player, and then lots of differing opinions about how the psoas plays into it. I personally have found the glutes are incredibly tight when the ql is tight and bothering the person. However, based on your video, the answer is to strengthen the core which I have observed clients want you to make their backs feel better, not offer them exercises. This all makes sense because we are really all one unit at the end of the day, and we have to address the whole unit to find out why one small part is harassing us. Thank you for your video!

Great clarity. Even if the visuals are taken away, one can picture the layers and the reason for anterior pelvic tilt. looming forward to the next video.

I was sent to PT for bilateral buttock pain at the age of 69. I told the PT that I also had left side rib pain since a fall 9 years ago. She worked on my QL. After five sessions, I had to say..."no more." I would be in severe pain for several days ...having to used hot packs for relief. I have muddled through for five years. Last month I made an appointment with a spine specialist. I hope she has some ideas that will move me to a better place physically.

Not sure what your pain is or where it comes from, however when I pulled my sacrum years ago, it would just never stop...just on and on, every day/night, for months. I finally bought a pelvic stability strap. It is a big strap with velcro that holds your pelvis steady so all those moving parts can rest and heal. It is immediate relief. You can do an at home trial with a decent belt. Strap it around your upper pelvis (not back) pretty tight, and see if it helps. Hoping the best for ya!

My new doctor mentioned this yesterday

[@ashdean7306]

I am currently working my way through your programme. 4 months of pain from around this area. Erector spinae and ql are sooo tight. Seen many professionals who cant answer my why! 😢 i miss my life. I am in so much pain and have no hope. Working through the CBT and hoping to get answers. I definitely have a right hip hike from a slight scoliosis.

[@promisedprince6201]

You are good, hope your channel grows!

[@melriini8280]

I thought pain in the QL area was from tight glutes or hamstrings?

[@johnhodgeman3980]

I have si joint dysfunction and psoas illac dysfunction on right side. Do i focus on TVA and ilacpsoas strengthening and completely ignore the QL? Is it weak, tight, and long? Or is it short? Like how do you know if the QL is short or long and weak or strong despite being tight?

[@impactwithdonandlinda5924]

These muscles “seize up” and lock in, the pain is so bad.

[@debir4111]

After watching this video, I wonder if it really is the QL that sees up and causes such intense pain. I am dealing with that right now and have been for three weeks. It is so tight that I can hardly function. But the center of my pain seems to be a little higherin the back than where the QL appears to be. I would like to know how to tell the difference.

[@Jade-sm3pk]

Why would someone have QL tightness and pain bilaterally but also have overly tight side abdominal muscles. Both sides?

[@ConstructiveMinds100]

Great explanation apart from that you forgot to name the cause of the problem.

[@charlesgrinnell8398]

Well I took the Masterclass and when I go to take the assessment it says TAKE THE Masterclass First. wasted 30 minutes,

[@CoreBalance]

It sounds like you did things right. The first card of the assessment says make sure to watch the masterclass before continuing. Then you just click continue since you’ve seen it.

[@DeniseHolman-l8r]

Do pelvic tilts help this?

[@laynieree4536]

Can a tight QL contribute to a flat back?

[@mattinfinity1623]

I have tight awls and a very flat back. How about you?
