Quadratus Lumborum
“If you've ever had low back pain, you might have tight
quadratus lumborum muscles. These large muscles are
on each side of your low back, running from your ribs to
your pelvis. Each muscle bends your upper body toward
the side they're located on. When they work together,
they bend your low back backward.”
Q-L strengthening exercises
• Side Plank
• You can strengthen your quadratus lumborum muscle using
the "side plank" exercise. Lay on the floor on your side.
Place your hand on the floor under you and straighten your
arm, raising the top half of your body off the ground. You
can raise the other arm straight over you, says the Yoga
Journal website, or let it rest on your side. Keep your legs
straight, letting the lower half of your body rest on the side
of your bottom foot. To hold this side plank position, you
will have to engage most of your core muscles, including
your quadratus lumborum. Hold this position for one
minute and then repeat on the other side.
•
• Standing Stretch
• To stretch your quadratus lumborum, stand with your
legs straight and your feet together. Raise your hands
above your head with straight arms. It is important to
keep your arms straight as you stretch them slightly to
the right side of your body, bending slowly from your
hip, says the Moving to Stillness website. At this point,
you should feel your left quadratus lumborum stretch.
Hold this position for 30 seconds and then switch to
the other side. Repeat this stretch for three repetitions
on each side of your body.
Child's Pose
Child's pose is a yoga exercise that
stretches the quadratus lumborum
muscles.
