Low Back Pain Relief (Fix This Muscle)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 сен 2024
- Deep, achy back pain can usually be tied back to this one muscle: The quadratus luborum. This is a muscle that attaches to the ribs, the spine, and the hip so it's a big culprit in a lot of back issues.
Learn how to first release this muscle, and then stretch it (the order is important) to get feeling better fast!

I think you might be psychic. Your last few videos have addressed exactly what has been bothering me lately (hip flexors and lower back). Thanks so much for the help!
You are so welcome! I could help so many more people if I was psychic:)
I agree !
it's this video for me! 😅🤘👍👍
@@drkristieennisi did front squats and felt a tweak there, so i stopped, feels like a knot there, so I used a tennis ball and jammed my thumb in deep, it is normal for it to be a little swollen there after?
You seem to be covering ALL of the issues that I've been experiencing. I'm learning so much from you! Thank you for making things so easy to understand, and fun to follow along.
You are welcome! I love my job:)
Well, this exactly nailed it. Thanks, Doc! Struggled with this more than a decade...always felt better by morning. Now I know what I did and why it hurt...and how to fix it.
Sure didn't hurt watching you walk thru all of it, either. Smart and stunning - you're amazing!
You’re welcome! I hope this takes the pain away:)
You helped me get some relief!!!! But still have a way to go before the pain is gone! Thank you
I would have never thought that a tennis ball could make that pain go away. Your the best!
So glad the tennis ball worked for you!🤗
You have a great way in demonstrating with the tennis ball, the spine skeleton and the markings on your back. You know your stuff doctor Ennis. Thank you for going the extra mile; most videos won’t do that. 👌
You are welcome! I really want people to feel better so I try my best:)
I have the same problem shooting pains then it goes away then it comes back could not go toilet sleeping was very bad hopefully I'll try this method out Thank you
Thanks for the video. The chiropractor couldn't help me. My back pain was getting worse. Finally someone who knows what they are doing!
This is exactly my sore spot!
Perfect timing... I get this from riding my bike for hours at a time in a hunched over position... tilting my pelvis forward from the tight hip flexors... and referring into the lower back... Thanks!
You’re welcome! Check out loosening the hip flexors too:)

i was a bodyworker and did a lot of hot yoga. went though some years doing intense caretaking and not taking care of myself… leading to this intense pain. tried all kinds of things to release it with no avail. your coaching did the trick! and given the pain I was in, you made the process fun with your upbeat attitude and humor. thank you! thank you!
I think you nailed it. Using an item to roll my back across made the painful twitches in my back go away, in less than 10 minutes! I lift frequently at work and I'm short. I often use my back when I shouldn't.
Thank you Dr. Ennis. Your description of the muscle location and sensation matched my symptoms, and sure enough the tennis ball release & stretching has helped. Others had targeted my butt and hamstring from the referred pain, but this nailed it for me. :)
Glad to hear this helped you out:)
Just simply : I love watching you! You are sooooo sweet.I am 88 old ( young !) grandma and I am enjoying your exercises and with your encouragement I am moving the way you showing your exercises. Wishing you all the best! ♥️🇭🇷🇨🇦
This appears to be exactly the source of my pain. I'm 65, retired and love to golf. Unfortunately & apparently, my playing and/or practicing 5-6 days a week may have triggered the discomfort I am having. So severe in fact, I had a difficult time walking for a couple of days. My question is, how many reps of these stretches do you recommend? Thanks in advance. New sub for you.
Omg it worked! Man I have been dealing and thinking I’m dehydrated! Thank you
This is my favorite video, thank you in abundance! You’re so generous and beautiful! I hope you are blessed 😇
These stretches are divine btw! I am blessed by this and ever so grateful!
That’s wonderful! You are welcome 🤗
This illustration is mind blowing. I hope to use this technique. Most videos it's attire that's covered over or tights that don't show clearly. Your is perfect clear to see the muscle and wear to place the ball for my back. The back is the most important of my leg pain. This is great will leave a good comment once I find relief
I've been in pain all week and stubbled apon your video. Thank you so much for giving me relief today. Liked and subscribed from new zealand
This has been most helpful creating an amazing release. I'm able to move better than I have in months. Thank you so much
You are so welcome!
this worked quite well. will keep doing it for few days. Your sciatica video absolutely changed my life.. 30+ years of chiropractors and pills replaced by a few stretches three or four times a week. thank you
You’re welcome! I’m glad I can help!
This is the video I needed!!! This has been my main, constant, pain for awhile. Really hope this helps! Thanks!!!!!!!
You’re welcome! I hope it helps too:) try this one too:

@@drkristieennis Awesome! Thank you!🙏🏽
@@livinlovinlife1712 you’re welcome!
Omg i am suffering for years becouse of this pain, thanks a lot doc
Oh yeah, love this one! Most of my clients have even heard of the QL, but this muscle seems to affect everything!
I hope this can help out:) This muscle is definitely a pain!
Thank you very much dr. Very accurate exercises for that back pain release.🙏🙏
You’re welcome!
Excellent thanks dr
That flossing technique has been helping me tremendously thus far. Thank you!
Such a helpful and timely video! Thank you for sharing such great content... always learn so much from you!
You’re welcome! I’m glad I can help out:)
it feels like kidney pain
I actually went to two different hospitals thinking I had liver or kidney pain. I been having the pain ongoing for 6 months. They did X-ray, cat scan, blood and urine tests. Found nothing and everything looked good. Was told it possible is a back muscle.
@@Kevin_Yagoonie Same bro
Did anything help? Ive had the same pain for a year. Ive tried just about everything.
Did u gain weight.?
Same brother
Yay, this spot has literally been bugging me for months. Fixed it in one day! So glad I found this vid. thx!
You’re welcome! I’m so glad it worked for you!:)
@@drkristieennis The pain was so deep and bad enough that it almost felt like it was my kidney. Now it is totally gone first time in months! Thx sooo much!
@@bones8057 you are so welcome!
Thats the spot! Nice to see the tennis ball still works 😊
Excellent! It’s a classic tool:)
Best video I have found - so thanks. Just my problem. Golf and tennis the issue - trying to be a 20 year-old with 63 yo body that has spent most of the time in an office and car! Sleeping on a tennis ball/small bean bad to compress the painful area works for me otherwise no sleep.
You’re welcome! I hope you can still play golf and tennis:)
Definitely have to try this to relief pain in lower back Great advice dr kristie
Going to try that out right now ,been suffering in this area for a while since I hurt it in march ,hasn't stopped me training though ,keep on moving 😂 thank you for the information
You’re welcome! Hope it’s better very soon!
Very nice video. Presentation is very good. You explained very well. I want to appreciate you very much.
Once again, perfect timing! Thanks!! 😬👍
You’re welcome!
I think you just saved my life!
I use a roller to target “my” spot. Little gentler than the tennis ball to start off with. It is a terrible area to relax, especially since I’ve had spinal fusion L5-S1. It does affect my buttock, piriformis, adductors
Massage helps or kneeling /sitting on my knees and trying to move my arm, sideways to the floor targets it also
OMG! I think you solved my back aching problem! Here I thought I had a herniated disc. But your explanation was exactly what I was having. I do sit slouch to one side when I sit. And I do sleep on one side all the time. And I also had an ACL replacement a few years back and I was carrying all my weight on that side. Thank you doctor for everything that you do.🙂⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🙂
You're welcome! I’m so glad it helped!
Thank you, Dr. This is exactly what happened to me and this exercise is perfect.
Thank you so much for this I’ve watched so many videos and looked for so many articles to find out what muscle it is and what to do
Thank you! I am in pain and you just helped me.
You’re welcome! Glad I could help!
Thank you very much Dr.Kristie Ennis.
You are a master of the physical.
I feel grateful🙏
So good bailarina pose,very good stretching.
All the best
You are very welcome!😊
Thank you I’m in hell with pain in that very spot!! It’s awful it has gotten so bad it limits how I can move.
These are great to watch, concise & helpful… thank you !
You’re welcome!
Just like everyone says you awesome and your information is spot on. Not to mention a pleasure to look at. Keep up the good work
Thanks so much!
This is just wonderful thank you feel like I need the ball pushing all the time though
Thank you Dr. Kristie, I NEED This One!
You are welcome 🤗
Thanks so much for this. The muscle flossing in particular worked!
Thanks for the information
Iam suffering muscle problem
🙏🙏
Love your videos. Especially this one as I have that pain right now. Thanks for what you do. I do have a friendly photography suggestion though. It's more pleasing if the photographer puts your head near the top of the frame as opposed to the center. No sense having a great shot of the wall above you while cutting off the lower part of your body. For more info search the photography rule of thirds.
Thank you for your input! I am constantly trying to figure this video thing out:) I appreciate the advice!
Am so relieved you weren't offended by my comment as none was intended.
@@nearlynormal it takes a fair amount to offend me:) your comment was said in a very constructive, positive manner!
It sucks. The doctor told me it’s nothing serious but it’s one of the worse pains I’ve had ever and I have a tiny cold, so when I cough it tightens up so much and hurts even worse.
Finally found the name for this "nasty little bugger" 😂 It has been bothering me for years. Thank you for the informative video. Very helpful.
Thanks for showing several variations! There are times where my low back is so inflamed that getting on the floor is just not possible.
You’re welcome! I definitely know where you are coming from:)
Yeah, I still don't know how to fix that muscle, because I have too great pains to do these.
@@L2PWarrioR the tennis ball on the wall typically works as a starting point for my patients in significant pain. If pain is severe, it would be a good idea to have it checked out by someone that can see you in person.
Thank you Doctor. These videos are really helping.
You are welcome:) I’m glad I can help!
Is this stretch doing for one time make our our pain relief permanently
Hi,thank you doctor, i have this pain for 15 years. I had spine surgery too.i"ll try this strechings.
Hope this helps you feel better!
thx Kristie thats was right on spot with todays vid.. i help alot my lower back site is great again.. was having it for two days now. its gone ....
So glad this helped it go away!
Thanks for the informative and funny video! 🤣 Helped with my back pain 🥰
Thank you! I’m glad I could help:)
Right by back by bottom rib deep in there I feel it sometimes aside from right on lower spinal column which I assume is from disc protruding (if that's even problem lol) that's the only time I feel it now since the sciatica exercises got rid of everything else, been waiting for this thanks Doc
You’re welcome! Hope this video can
help too:)
@@drkristieennis lord.... yes..yes..yes!!!!!
Jeez I am in agony. Ill keep working on it. I'm a fit 50 year old and my back is stopping me keeping that way. All started about 4 years ago after sleeping on a mattress on a floor whilst decorating my bedroom. So wish I hadn't have done that hopefully this will get me relief its right on that muscle you mentioned.
I hope this helps!
Good for my golfers back
Another great video
Thank you
You’re welcome!
Another very helpful video doc! Thanks!
You’re welcome!
Great exercises Kristie I do get lower back pain sometimes so good exercises for me as I am on a computer a lot with work. I have used a tennis ball but I have used a massage gun on that spot and it works a treat. Many Thanks x
You are welcome! Our office lives make it very tough on our bodies! Check out this video too:

@@drkristieennis cheers Kristie. Just had a look and posture especially when sitting at the computer is very important. So great for me thank u x
@@robbiesmith3476 you’re welcome!
Many many thanks x
@@robbiesmith3476 you’re welcome ☺️
Wow!!! This information is amazing!!! Thank you so much.
💜💕🙏
You’re so welcome!
2 years of everyday chronic back pain, 80% gone after one stretch amazing
I’m so glad you are feeling better!
Sir can you tell me that the change is permanent or gives you relief for some moments?
@@rounaksaha6291 I still feeling the pain after a couple weeks I first tried. but doing these stretched over time makes the pain less than how i was before so I still do them atleast one a week now and the constant pain is not as severe
I place the tennis ball inside of a athletic sock, hold the sock, and do the exercises. Without the sock the tennis ball goes rolling down the hallway. Love your videos.
That’s a very good suggestion:) thank you!
Do you have a video on the proper technique of bending? I do a lot of bending & lifting while doing my outdoor work. I just found your site & I'm incorporating these exercises in my daily routine.
I am VERY grateful for sharing your knowledge with everyone. 🌞.
Not yet but it is on my list!
Yay! I'll keep an eye out for that!
Thank you ❤️🙏😀
Thank you beautiful doctor 👍
I’ve been in pain for a year
Thank you so much … it really helps me a lot 🎉
Perfect video.. needed it today. Thx!
Good stuff, very informative, thank you. 👍
You’re welcome!
OK stunning efforts
Thank you!
Great video really worked for me also helps that Kristie is drop dead gorgeous also😍😍
So glad it worked for you!
Hi Kristie, thanks for these stretches, which exercises would you recommend to do after these, to strengthen these muscles? thank you 🙏
great! please don't feel shy to actually name the muscles we're stretching. for me it helps to give things names. can i assume it's the QL you were stretching?
It is:)
Excellent presentation
This is much needed video and exercises, Doctor. You nailed it. Thank you so much.
Just a quick question. If I don’t have a tennis ball, can I use the foam roller with edges?
Yes you can! I just find that painful:)
Your so funny, I love your sense of humor, 😆. After the routine, where do I make my appointment with you for a back massage? 😊
Thank you!! I think I need a massage too:)
Thank you... the program helps.
You’re welcome!
Many thaaaaaks! You saved my day!
Is it reasonable to think intensive gardening easily lead to problems of the QL and hip flexors on one side? My thinking being with many tasks such as digging, raking and hoeing tend to have you leading from one side.
Beautiful and helpful. Gratzi from Cali
You’re welcome!
God bless you. Seriously. God bless you ✨
Great tip... It helped... Thanks Doc...
You’re welcome!
Hi Dr,
I like all exercises, except laying on tennis ball. One famous physical therapist on you tube said that laying or putting weight on the rolled foam or tennis ball can damage the nerve. I dare not do that. Thank you.
It all depends on what muscle you are speaking of:) the piriformis is one to be careful of because of where the nerve lies. Not all nerves will be irritated by working the soft tissue:
Thanks very much, Dr. Kristie. 謝 謝
You’re welcome!
Fit body! Yeah back pain and spasms are no good. Great info.
Thank you!
I swear by your “in bed” stretches at bedtime. I feel like I have spasms in the QL sometimes. I’ll give this a try!
I’m so glad the stretches help! Hope this video does too:)
Why can't my doctor look like this?
Great video. Thank you pretty Dr.
So glad you like the video!
What if strengthening glutes by performing prone leg raise hip extension helps a lot for that low back pain and discomfort but also make my right hip just in front a bit of irritation. (It’s my older injury when I over stretch hip flexors) Do you think it's because I over squeeze my glutes while trying to lift my leg?
Are you a daily vlogger
I am not. I try to get 2 longer videos and a short once a week:)
Thank you so much 🙏🏾
Wish you were in NYC! Great stuff
Thank you!
@@drkristieennis 👍My pleasure!
Thank you ! Great video.
You’re welcome ☺️
If you ever get divorced please call me,my body is a mess and your husband is the luckiest man on earth,I can’t even imagine having you to help me do my exercises to help me,please keep up the great work,need your help,thank you
Thank you! I’m actually a pretty lucky woman. My husband is a great guy:) hope you feel better soon!
Thanks you so much
Dr. Kristie, instead of using a tennis ball, would a foam roller be more effective and comfortable? A tennis ball can damage the soft tissue?
