Relieve Lower Back Tension: Self Myofascial Release for the Quadratus Lumborum (QL)

In this video, learn how to effectively release tension in the Quadratus Lumborum (QL), commonly known as the "hip hiker" muscle, which plays a key role in stabilizing your lower back and pelvis. I’ll walk you through the anatomy and function of the QL, explaining how tightness or dysfunction in this muscle can lead to common issues like lower back pain and restricted movement.

I then demonstrate a simple yet powerful Self Myofascial Release (SMR) technique using a yoga ball elevated on a yoga block. This method is specifically designed to target the QL, helping to relieve discomfort, increase mobility, and enhance spinal health.

Whether you’re a yoga practitioner, athlete, or anyone dealing with lower back tension, this video offers clear, practical steps to improve your flexibility and reduce pain.
