My back has been killing me for the past 1.5 years and I recently figured out it must be the QL. I just did this stretch for the first time and feel relief already. THANK YOU.

[@beatpirate8]

I’m a nurse with injuries accumulated during Pandemic. I am also a yoga student and learning anatomy again and muscles. All your videos have been so helpful! Maybe I should have been a physical therapist ! I love all that you teach and do! And I love your exercises and your friendship! Thank you so much!

[@Roger_Ramjet]

It's not too late 😊

[@GoldenGrub]

I can’t help but break out in spontaneous dance when I hear that intro 🕺🏻

[@GoldenGrub]

And now I can do it pain-free!!!

[@thomasr.7975]

Wow Bob& Brad this is a life changer!! Also, if you put the stick on the opposite side and lean in in the same way, it increases the stretch a lot! Thanks a lot!!

[@marymary3486]

Thank God for physical therapists!

[@CWBush73]

You two should perform at a local comedy club. Remind me of the Smothers Brothers. This is great, other people have such painful methods to hit the QL

[@gediminaskontrimas7992]

Your video clips are a good daily motivation to exercise. Thank you.

[@CarlosTorres-ow9qr]

Thanks guys I have been suffering from back problems for 10 years 3 surgeries and really tight at the QL area will try ASAP.

[@OneGazelle]

You are very creative and it's a great stretch, however, I've seen javelin throwers doing that stretch as part of their warm-up for years. I myself, created a different great stretch. Years later I found in a book while taking a Traditional Chinese Medicine Course. It had been printed centuries ago, oh well... I love your videos. Keep up the good work. Finally, you should do a KZbin Poll to prove that you guys are the most popular PT's on the internet once and for all.

Are you alive ??

[@dc9163]

Thank you both! 🤝

[@martinlang9615]

OMG. This is excellent and exactly what I need to stretch since a near fatal 8.5m fall 2-2012. It’s as you said being “protective” all the blasted time and sometimes spasms all the while causing severe pain. That demonstration with the tape was very good at showing me how it works, because with me once I understand how it works, to help fix it is much easier to understand. Thank you both so much

[@jungleharmony_]

I'm glad you're okay!

[@diantu9281]

very good and simple! Thank you!

Thanks guys!

[@drivenfitness3585]

You guys are great, my QL has been tight on both sides and hurt, I will implement this for sure

[@1426Decatur]

Brad: Did you really invent that QL stretch technique? It works great! And you can move around easily to get to the right spot. The QLs are my nemesis. Years of abuse/poor posture, I'm certain.

[@amandarodriguez997]

Sometimes, I thumbs up your videos simply because I like the quote.

Nice! I like to do an ipsilateral QL contraction side bend w slightly raised hip, to dynamically strengthen as well - will add a mild counter rotation to that movement, thanks to your stretch! One way and the other way - feels great, thanks!

[@derekvandenburg6689]

I have been rolling this with the foam roller against a wall. It really is relieving the tension. This is a muscle that need to be loose if you are a martial arts kicker.

Can you link or say which video Bob mentioned how the stick helped him with impingement.?

uh, i'm here for the mattress

[@thomasorchard]

Your techniques have worked well for my buldging disc in my neck. (Towel, McKenzie method) I have more mobility but still have some pain and a lot of muscle twitches in my Right arm. Is that a normal part of the healing process? Should go away with time right? Thanks guys.

[@someone4someone2007]

ET Nem muscle twitches and peripheral pain getting worse is bad dude. Go see a therapist and get yourself properly assessed instead of doing generic treatment techniques. Bob and brad are awesome 😎

Thank you guys! Can it also be stretched by hanging on a bar?

What about passive insufficiency. Doesn't the arm movement at the shoulder put the latissimus dorsi on stretch and prevent stretching of the ql?

I have confusion between SI joint pain and a strained QL. I have pain in the lower left back every time I squat or stand for long periods. When there is pain it is aggravated while taking deep breaths. What could it be?

[@prnoiawegf55]

Hmmm...possibly worth investigating whether you've strained your left serratus posterior inferior...just a thought :)

[@v001]

This stretch is so great. I could feel quadratus lumborum, it was so intense :-)

[@kamalmetlej3968]

How many times should I do that cycle

[@HeadNtheClouds]

Did you turn your kitchen into a PT office?! Better clean that up before your wife gets home 🤣

[@leen1753]

As a registered dental hygienist I sit a great deal of the day. I end up twisting mostly toward my patient so that my right side ( I think) would be elongated. I have SI joint dysfunction and I have found that my QL gets very sore and stretching my QL does help. Should I focus on twisting a certain way instead of the way that Bob showed in the video since that's how I sit most of the day? Should I twist more to the right instead of to the left since that's what I do most of the day?

[@Oikofugix]

How do you know which side to stretch like my left shoulder is lower than my right so should I stretch out my left side or both sides

[@lailachokri2863]

In my case , my lower shoulder is the same side as my higher hip (bc of a tight muscle), but for you it may be the same and it may not be, I mean you should check if your shoulders are uneven because of an unbalanced QL - stand in front of the mirror and put you fingers on the top of your hips and see if they're at the same height, if so then the problem could be something else and u may need to stretch other muscles instead of the QL. Hope that helps

Every time I stretch it. It spasms like crazy. It’s so sore I can’t stretch it. What can I do. It’s destroying my quality of life.

[@deborahgonzalezknight168]

Maybe it's been like that for years. I put a heat pad first to warm up for 15 mins. I think you must work through it. I am feeling very bruised and sore from physio but I have stretched a very day and 3 days later its all starting to feel looser and no pinching. My buttocks, hips and whole lower back area has been bad for over 35 years.

[@alexweisenfeld1126]

@@davidfernandez8515 I see where you're coming from, but most people get injured from deadlifts because they don't know how to properly deadlift. 😂

[@davidfernandez8515]

@@alexweisenfeld1126 Yeah man but technique on the deadlift is quite overrated in my opinion. I mean it's not like shooting a basketball, deadlifting is simply lifting something heavy from the floor. It's a natural movement. So when form breaks down usually comes from muscle disfunction and wrong patterns rather than the skill to do the movement. If you look at powerlifting training is completely based on this concept

[@AdrianLoganLive]

@@davidfernandez8515 Technique on the dead lift is overrated? That's a dangerous belief to be spreading. Only takes 1 lapse in judgement or error for things to go terribly wrong when dead lifting. Doesn't matter how "natural" of a motion it is because the weight being lifted isn't natural

[@someone4someone2007]

Gheorghe Bogdan picking up a pen 🖊, or sneezing, or coughing, or living life can give you the same. It’s all about assess treat and reassess. If on assessment/ in the paperwork you find a posterior disc bulge or pain/ radiating pain on flexion then obviously don’t do this. If QL is found to be tight on palpation +examination then these stretches may just be the best thing in the world for the patient. Be rational don’t be an idiot.
