This is incredible! I’ve had ongoing pain in my left ql for months and nothing has worked…..until now! After only three days of these stretches the pain has disappeared. Thank you so much!! ❤
Will QL tightness result in the spine hurting? Forty years ago, I had a grade-1 disc prolapse of L5-S1 and a month-long traction. Every few months since then, I sprain my back and it hurts there. Is this QL weakness or could it be a problem with the spine?
I’m so glad you liked it. I worked on it for quite a bit and re-shot this video once to make sure I got it right. I have a few more videos on our channel that cover the QL muscle and other types of low back pain if you’d like to look at it.
The algorithm brought me here and I haven’t even searched for anything related to the lower back pain I’ve been feeling lately 😅. This is both very helpful and yet frightening…
It doesn't search on algorithms anymore .AI can now read you're mind through data tactitile sensory behaviour from you're phone also you're GPS and search history. That's why the video popped up.😮
Been to a lot of sites but none worked as well as what you had me follow along with you today. Thank you, thank you very much. My lower back feels better than it has for a very long time.
I love the exercises provided here! They worked really good compared to other exercises I've tried! I did feel a burning sensation afer the routine but it definitely feels less achy and less stuck than before. Thank you. GAINZ 💪🏼👊🏼💯
Hi there! Glad you enjoyed the video. Check out our ebooks on low back recovery. It covers have the different areas of the body can contribute to the back and create flare ups. www.p2sportscare.com/ebooks/
For the past 3 years I've been going to my physio therapist every year for a few months so she could fix my QL again. Thanks to this video I can now fix my QL by myself and hopefully keep it healthy. Thank you SO much.
If you want us to give it a shot just reach out. If this video helps even a little just imagine what some special attention may do! Link in description
You are simply superb 🙌🏽🙌🏽 I have been suffering with left sided back pain all the way from my lower rib to foot because I fell down by twisting my left ankle in a ditch . I have been going through this pain since 3 years and no doctors could fix it unfortunately .. but now I got so much relief from these stretches . I got hope that I can get my life back … pain free life … thanks tons ❤🙏
This is the best resource for QL pain and recovery. Great explanation and I love the modest stretching approach and breathing excercises! Great rehab plan! Thank you!
My QL has been bothering me for a week. Just happened across this video and tried the stretches. Absolutely nailed what was wrong with me and made a huge difference. Thank you so much
Amazing... I've suffered with QL tightness and done yoga on and off with some relief... after a few of these stretches here omg, I feel like restful. Incredible! Like the opportunity for my tight and never ending contraction to just chillll out. Every grateful 🙏 😢 I love the modified child's pose and the midback stretch, awesome !
Wonderful! To stop the flare up cycle we need to add specific strength training exercises and change some habits. We have helped so many people with QL tightness. Call us for a consultation 714-502-4243
Thank you so much. As a hairdresser this video is so helpful to me. I literally cannot move when my QL goes in to spasm, it's scary and I find the pain goes down the front of my thigh and up into the inside of my shoulder blade. I will be doing these exercises regularly.
Oh no, I’m sorry to hear that. Remember if you’d like some help, we have virtual sessions as well. This is a generalized flow we made, but it is far from the most specific for each person‘s problem.
Thank you Doctor for your video exercise. I have pain at my back and side on my left. I thought it was lower back pain. I tried several lower back exercise it does not work. so I visited a Sports Masseur. I have been diagnosed to have problem with muscle at the quadratus lumborum at theinsertion (to the ribs) and muscle erector spine is swollen and tight. I found your exercise, and want to try it out. Making today as day 1 of your exercise. Pray for me Doctor. I am 61 years old, still working, and from Kuala Lumpur , Malaysia.
I love the AI of RUclips. It always reads my mind and gives me what I need. Thank you for these excercises. They really help. I hope they can help me with my reflux too.
I just found your guys channel a couple days ago.. phenominal.. this is the best rehab channel on all of RUclips. I’ve learned so much in the last few days. My QL has been jacked up for a year and this is what I’ve been looking for. You guys are incredible!!
Well done Video. I recommend you start watching it at minute 12 at first. It’s a great review of all of the exercises and why they were done in a certain way. May be helpful to look at that in the beginning.
Thanks so much for the praise. You’re right, I think doing the explanation in the beginning may have been helpful, but in the past we’ve gotten criticism for explaining too much before showing the exercises. Because of that, we change the order in this video, but still suggested people stay around for the explanation at the end.
Hi! Dr Dawne, that's great. Thank you so much. I am trying it, and at the fourth exercise, I am feeling much, much better. Congratulations for this sincere video. May God bless you.
Thank you so much! I do my best to try to convey good information and instructions in the videos that I do. If you’re looking for some help one on one just remember that I’m always available.
Thank you a lot for your videos! The thing is I have QL and this helps but when I do these stretches I seem to have iliopsoas pain in right part of the abdomen.
You're so welcome! We have seen lots of people with a hip flexor discomfort too. This video does not address this part. If you’re open to it, contact us for a consultation. People with multiple locations may need a custom plan of exercises and stretching
Thanks a lot dear DR it was really very useful for me , last year in 2022 I have a got 2 times operated in my back S- L3 L4 and L5 and also TH11 and TH 12 and after operation until today I have pain Q-L muscle’s pain , but I wanna thank you for I did learn too much from you , please help me more to back to my normal life, god safe you for all of us 🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
Thank you! Merci! Gracias! Your video with follow along was the solution to my QL issue, which your explanation confirmed is the area of tightness and pain I’ve had. I’ve only tried this once now and already I feel a major improvement with the muscles in that entire region, but also as you mentioned, my nervous system feels more calm (I felt tense before this, it was a guitar string back there). RUclips’s AI suggested this video. I will repeat this video for days to come and even create a short document about the steps within … and subscribe to your channel for more that I may need. This has saved me time from seeing a physiotherapist or chiropractor. Merci beaucoup! (Thank you very much). Robert
Had lower back pain for a while (cyclist), yoga/stretching controls most. Now experiencing some “sciatic “? pain left side. These exercises seem to help, I’ll let u know, ( getting old is a job in itself 😮💨)
Id love to help you with it! Together I’m sure I can show you some good tips and guide you to success. Call or email. 714-502-4243 info@p2sportscare.com
Wonderful Video! Dear Friends, one for me very important question. May be you've heard or may be you know from your praxis or may be simply how do think Can QUADRATUS LUMBORUM on the left side if it's shorter.... Sigmoid bent? Thank you very much for your reply
Me had a pain after I wake up every day then I saw your video to do it works and now am feeling my pain gone Thanku so much keep it up and gives us lesson thank you Dr
All this is good. Remember to always feel your back equally and engage everything core back butt as much as you can, especially when sitting. Also you are probably putting all the pressure on one side of your body be conscious of that. You will get stronger and it's usually more things then the QL
I'll try this one. Maybe it will reduce the stiff tension of my upper torso and neck aswell ? Thank you for thinking about us out there in the wilderness.
That’s a great question. It sounds like you have multiple things going on. This video is specifically for people who have a single problem. With that being said we can create something more customized for you if we learn more about what’s going on with you. If you want something customized we can do that on our virtual or in person sessions. I suggest booking one of our consultations on our website. It’s called a discovery session. For a limited time it’s $29. Here’s a link www.p2sportscare.com/
hey guys, this looks great. I've been having a terrible spasm/strain since 6 days now. I've been doing your exercises since about 4 days plus have been taking pretty strong muscle relaxants (diazepam), but it hasn't really improved much yet. I can't do the last 2 exercises. Most of my pain is whilst standing and walking. I do your stretches really gently to not aggravate anything. Whilst on my back/all fours I am able to move my legs quite easily in most directions without pain. Just not the sideplank variation and bridge movement you suggested, so I don't do them. Is it better to wait and do these exercises and stretches until the spasms/strain is somewhat healed as a preventative or is this also supposed to rehab whilst in a bad spasm/strain? It has gotten somewhat better since day one (as in I am almost able to walk upright again), but it has plateaud at this point for a few days now... Not really sure what to do but alternating between a lot of rest and keep going with your exercises and short walks. I also use a massage gun gently to try and get some blood flow through it all... Any tips or advise would be much appreciated
Hey Summer. Sorry to hear that you’ve been having the issue. It’s painful I’m sure. It would be wreak less to suggest things to you unless we examine it. What makes one person feel better can make another worse momentarily. Let’s set up a Discovery Session so we can figure out what’s correct. Exercises, dosage, stretches and activities that are safe are different for everyone. Link in description for video
Definitely gonna try these. Do you have a recommendation of when (morning/evening) and how often a week these exercises should be carried out? I have very painful QL Spasm on the left side since a year (very sedentary lifestyle due to my office job). Thanks :)
Time of day depends on the unique aspects of each person’s case. We make those recommendations when we learn more about them. This is just a general video
We actually have a lot of videos on that on our channel. Subscribe and use our search bar to find the topic that you’re looking for. We have well over 500 videos all for free.
Hi,thanks for the informative video,first time doing these and it seems to be helping,would you recommend doing these every day?,also I use a homemade castor oil pack along with a hot water bottle every day,do you have a opinion on this,again seems to be helping,but not too sure. Thanks again for your time.
Glad you like the video. Some people do it every day but not all people should. Dosage comes down to us knowing what you have and why you have it. We can make some suggestions but we need to do an assessment first. Lets set up a consultation so we can start the process. email us info@p2sportscare.com or call 714-502-4243
Hi, thanks for a great video. I have a trapped nerve somewhere (injured at work, by lifting weight in an awkward side-squatted position), and symptoms are big swelling in lower abdomen and sometimes pain. From your experience, could the ilio-inguonal nerve be trapped by a clinched QL? (there's no pain at the QL itself). Thx heaps!🙏
That’s a great question. From what we have found there is no exact way to identify where a nerve is being in trapped. The closest thing to give that type of information is a NCV test. However, this is not 100% either. We’ve treated many people with entrapments of the ilioingunal nerve , but our treatment style doesn’t need to Find the exact entrapment location. Treatment of a nerve condition means to follow a series of fundamental protocols which we do here. It tends to work very well.
Have you ever come across anyone who is suffering from back pain but the problem is a weakness in the inguinal ligament which is causing referral pain in lower back? Who love to hear your taught. Great video
We actually have a bunch of videos on that on our channel. Use the search bar or if you want to see us for a consultation that would cut the time down. We see that type of case all the time
Good afternoon, and thank you for this video. I've just watched the first half about the stretches, and I have questions I'm hoping you can answer for me. 1. Would it be beneficial to do some type of warm-up before these stretches? Or can you just go right into these stretches? 2. Is there a level of the QL muscle problem that this works better for? The reason I'm asking is because I have been dealing with my low right back and right flank being literally locked up for about 15 months. I've been through chiropractic, acupuncture, physical therapy, and I've also used a tens unit directly on those muscles with no change to them at all. I am now with UCLA's East/West division having tried trigger point injections and cupping, with acupuncture most likely from them starting tomorrow (October 14, 2024). So this isn't a minor strain that just happened. My low right back muscles along my thoracic down to my lumbar spine are hard and bulge out a half inch more than the left side because they are in a constant spasm. . There has been no change over the 15 months from any procedure I've had done, my muscles always stay locked. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, thank you again.
Hey there. Sorry to hear about the 15 months of having to deal with this. Well, we’ve noticed is that most of the time when people are struggling to get basic exercises and stretches in is because there’s some precursor steps that need to be done prior . What these are would be pending because we would need to assess you to figure out what they are. Everybody’s a little bit different. Per your second question, I think there’s a misconception that many people have QL spasms are all from the same problem or the same type of sub category. Again, everybody’s a little bit different and there are about 10 different conditions. I can think of off the top of my head that can create QL spasm as a primary symptom or compensation. if you’re open to it why don’t you do a consultation with us so we can ask more detailed questions and give you better answers that rather than generalities. Give us a ring 745024243. Sorry for any grammar issues, but I try to answer as many RUclips questions I can via audio dictation for my phone. Give us a shot. I bet we can help really quickly.
@@Performance-Place-chiropractor Thank you for your reply. I understand what you are saying about the difference from person to person with what is actually bothering them. I would definitely be up for a call to talk about what I'm dealing with. We are about to head out for a bit, so it will have to be tomorrow. What are your hours? Or the best time to call?
If I want to strengthen my right QL, which side do I aim toward the floor when doing a side bridge or side plank? My weakness, tightness and pain are all on my right. Having my right side facing down feels like I'm engaging the right QL. Is that correct? And thank you for the explanations at the end 😊
When performing a side plank or side bridge, the side closest to the ground is the most activated. However, it’s important to note that it may not be in your best interest to isolate QL. The purpose of these exercises are to improve how the muscles throughout the torso and hip interact with each other. In this particular size, we want to make sure that the whole side of the torso feels like it’s been worked, not just one area. However, it’s impossible to isolate one side of the torso versus the other, hence the top side of the core will be worked as well.
Thanks. I have a really bad muscle imbalance from being pretty sedentary for the last 30 yrs and mild scoliosis/right hip being at least 1/2" higher since I was about 8 yrs old. That's why I wanted to focus on one side, but I understand what you're saying. I do want to get strong and flexible all over, lol. In my case I think I'm supposed to strengthen left side and stretch the right, (so I had it wrong in my original comment. 😮) I'm very stiff and have a long way to go. Thank you for reading 😊
I am experiencing so much pain in my lower back right side. Can barely turn in bed and get out of bed normally. The pain is like something is sitting on a nerve near the hip area. Undescribable unpredictable shock nerve pain depending on the position of my body. Really hoping these exercises are going to sort it out.
Hey Dion, sounds like we got something in common. ☹️ Since your post is a month ago I would be interested to know if these exercises could help you. Best regards, Rolf
@rolfengelmann6877 Hi Rolf, thanks for the message. To be honest, I went in search for more but couldn't make up my mind. The pain subsided on its own. It has its days though but all good at the moment.
Sorry to hear about that guys. Don’t give it. Most people get a lot of relief once they find the right methods. Once pressure is off then it’s about 4-6 weeks to gain most of the recovery back
@@dionraath8092most pain issues we experience are cause by lack of stability strength and poor pursuits throughout the day . Excerszie / stretch fix your posture and you’ll never have back pain again
I have lower back pain on only the right side, made worse by leaning and bending forward. Lifting as well makes the pain worse. It this possibility the culprit? The QL seems to be the site of pain pretty precisely, no radiating pain or sensation of any sort down the leg
I’d love to help but I’d need to assess you one on one to give targeted suggestions and be able to tell you what is going on. Book a consultation with me to start the process. Or if you want more information on low backs we have some excellent, affordable ebooks on our site www.p2sportscare.com/ebooks/
We use some for that but depends on location, severity, and how old it is. Typically with disc herniations we perform a complete physical assessment to figure out the best starting point that won’t create a flareup for the person. If you’d like an assessment like that, we can do it for you set up a consultation, and we can start it out. Link in description to the video.
For me this muscle always start hurting when i'm walking slow (shopping for example). It can then really hurt until i sit down somewhere. Will strecthing this often help or do you think there is another cause?
Sorry to hear you’ve been dealing with this, but to be honest, there’s so many different possible causes and without knowing more about what’s going on with you, I would have no idea. However, if you’d like me to look everything over, I can certainly do so. Just send us an email. Our contact is the description for the video
When i was doing rotational movement in hand-plank,i got spasm in ql.Spasm aggravated after sleeping in supine position.Thanks for your stretches.I will try n give you feedback.
Excellent video helped me a great deal ..thank you so much But my question is this why am I getting spasms in my back muscles ? and is there a way to prevent them from happening in the first place ? Thanks again
There sure is… or at least with many people. The concept of spinal hygiene has been around for a while and helps us understand how healthy habits can decrease probability of back pain. Some people have unique causes that can root back to trauma, old hip or leg injuries and even ankle ones. The body is one unit and works together to prevent lower back pain. Reach out if you want some details of what you could be doing
Most people find lasting results after about 2-3 week if they have the correct exercises/stretches and form. An physical assessment can narrow down the correct program. Let us know if you want some help. Link in description
Straight to the point, no adds no extra speech, great explanation , amazing work, fantastic anatomy, Thanks lady, you're wonderful
Thank you
This is incredible! I’ve had ongoing pain in my left ql for months and nothing has worked…..until now! After only three days of these stretches the pain has disappeared. Thank you so much!! ❤
Wow!!! So cool! Thanks for sharing. Sub for more!
How do you know it's the QL that's been bothering you?
An assessment will do. There is no single symptom that point exclusively to it
Same
Will QL tightness result in the spine hurting? Forty years ago, I had a grade-1 disc prolapse of L5-S1 and a month-long traction. Every few months since then, I sprain my back and it hurts there. Is this QL weakness or could it be a problem with the spine?
very well explained and demonstrated. Clear and precise. Thank you!!
I’m so glad you liked it. I worked on it for quite a bit and re-shot this video once to make sure I got it right. I have a few more videos on our channel that cover the QL muscle and other types of low back pain if you’d like to look at it.
very comperhensive , what I liked was basically enough quality info no over explaining and great illustration. thankx
Glad you enjoyed it!
The algorithm brought me here and I haven’t even searched for anything related to the lower back pain I’ve been feeling lately 😅. This is both very helpful and yet frightening…

It doesn't search on algorithms anymore .AI can now read you're mind through data tactitile sensory behaviour from you're phone also you're GPS and search history. That's why the video popped up.😮
Been to a lot of sites but none worked as well as what you had me follow along with you today. Thank you, thank you very much. My lower back feels better than it has for a very long time.

Great to hear! Check out that free webinar to get more insight into what some root causes could be
I have scoliosis on that side that pains me . I was told never to stretch that side because it could lead the discs to herniate even more.
Maybe but that’s not super common to have as a side effect of responsible stretching programs
You’re great This breathing technique exercises really work for me ❤god bless you and your family
:)
My body feels so much better after doing this. It's like night and day. Thank you!

Wonderful Video!
Dear Friends, one for me very important question.
May be you've heard or may be you know from your praxis or may be simply how do think
Can QUADRATUS LUMBORUM on the left side if it's shorter.... Sigmoid bent?
Thank you very much for your reply
Good question!I have no idea
Me had a pain after I wake up every day then I saw your video to do it works and now am feeling my pain gone Thanku so much keep it up and gives us lesson thank you Dr
My pleasure 😊. Please reach out for a Discovery session if you want some a custom program for this. Link in description
All this is good. Remember to always feel your back equally and engage everything core back butt as much as you can, especially when sitting. Also you are probably putting all the pressure on one side of your body be conscious of that. You will get stronger and it's usually more things then the QL
Thanks for sharing ! Glad you liked it
Excellent movements for tight left QL and Lats. Thanks so much. I am still tight but these movements brought some relief.
We have a lot more specific exercises than these if you want an assessment we can see what works best for you
Thank you
Welcome!
Great Video thanks 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it
I'll try this one. Maybe it will reduce the stiff tension of my upper torso and neck aswell ? Thank you for thinking about us out there in the wilderness.
That’s a great question. It sounds like you have multiple things going on. This video is specifically for people who have a single problem. With that being said we can create something more customized for you if we learn more about what’s going on with you. If you want something customized we can do that on our virtual or in person sessions. I suggest booking one of our consultations on our website. It’s called a discovery session. For a limited time it’s $29. Here’s a link www.p2sportscare.com/
When stretching the QL, should one arch the lower back?
Hey there great question. It kind of depends upon the person and the division of the Ql that we’re talking about.
hey guys, this looks great. I've been having a terrible spasm/strain since 6 days now. I've been doing your exercises since about 4 days plus have been taking pretty strong muscle relaxants (diazepam), but it hasn't really improved much yet. I can't do the last 2 exercises. Most of my pain is whilst standing and walking. I do your stretches really gently to not aggravate anything. Whilst on my back/all fours I am able to move my legs quite easily in most directions without pain. Just not the sideplank variation and bridge movement you suggested, so I don't do them. Is it better to wait and do these exercises and stretches until the spasms/strain is somewhat healed as a preventative or is this also supposed to rehab whilst in a bad spasm/strain? It has gotten somewhat better since day one (as in I am almost able to walk upright again), but it has plateaud at this point for a few days now... Not really sure what to do but alternating between a lot of rest and keep going with your exercises and short walks. I also use a massage gun gently to try and get some blood flow through it all... Any tips or advise would be much appreciated
Hey Summer. Sorry to hear that you’ve been having the issue. It’s painful I’m sure. It would be wreak less to suggest things to you unless we examine it. What makes one person feel better can make another worse momentarily. Let’s set up a Discovery Session so we can figure out what’s correct. Exercises, dosage, stretches and activities that are safe are different for everyone. Link in description for video
Thank You so much
It was very useful...❤
You're welcome 😊
Absolutely stellar job. I'm following along in the hope of relief. Thanks from Boston.
Thanks!!!
Definitely gonna try these. Do you have a recommendation of when (morning/evening) and how often a week these exercises should be carried out? I have very painful QL Spasm on the left side since a year (very sedentary lifestyle due to my office job). Thanks :)
Time of day depends on the unique aspects of each person’s case. We make those recommendations when we learn more about them. This is just a general video
Very nice
Thank you!

Hi,thanks for the informative video,first time doing these and it seems to be helping,would you recommend doing these every day?,also I use a homemade castor oil pack along with a hot water bottle every day,do you have a opinion on this,again seems to be helping,but not too sure. Thanks again for your time.
Glad you like the video. Some people do it every day but not all people should. Dosage comes down to us knowing what you have and why you have it. We can make some suggestions but we need to do an assessment first. Lets set up a consultation so we can start the process. email us info@p2sportscare.com or call 714-502-4243
Thank you so much for this video. My QL is a real problem area for me, especially the left side.
Glad it was helpful!
Hi, thanks for a great video. I have a trapped nerve somewhere (injured at work, by lifting weight in an awkward side-squatted position), and symptoms are big swelling in lower abdomen and sometimes pain.
From your experience, could the ilio-inguonal nerve be trapped by a clinched QL? (there's no pain at the QL itself). Thx heaps!🙏
That’s a great question. From what we have found there is no exact way to identify where a nerve is being in trapped. The closest thing to give that type of information is a NCV test. However, this is not 100% either. We’ve treated many people with entrapments of the ilioingunal nerve , but our treatment style doesn’t need to Find the exact entrapment location. Treatment of a nerve condition means to follow a series of fundamental protocols which we do here. It tends to work very well.
Have you ever come across anyone who is suffering from back pain but the problem is a weakness in the inguinal ligament which is causing referral pain in lower back? Who love to hear your taught. Great video
We actually have a bunch of videos on that on our channel. Use the search bar or if you want to see us for a consultation that would cut the time down. We see that type of case all the time
@Performance-Place-chiropractor thank you for the reply. I've just found your channel so will take a look at them videos. I will keep you posted!
Yep
Thanks for the video. Are we supposed to do these exercises only on painful side?
Hi there. It’s all case dependent. We examine people to see what sides to do. If you what a custom program call us 714-502-4243
Good afternoon, and thank you for this video. I've just watched the first half about the stretches, and I have questions I'm hoping you can answer for me.
1. Would it be beneficial to do some type of warm-up before these stretches? Or can you just go right into these stretches?
2. Is there a level of the QL muscle problem that this works better for? The reason I'm asking is because I have been dealing with my low right back and right flank being literally locked up for about 15 months. I've been through chiropractic, acupuncture, physical therapy, and I've also used a tens unit directly on those muscles with no change to them at all. I am now with UCLA's East/West division having tried trigger point injections and cupping, with acupuncture most likely from them starting tomorrow (October 14, 2024).
So this isn't a minor strain that just happened. My low right back muscles along my thoracic down to my lumbar spine are hard and bulge out a half inch more than the left side because they are in a constant spasm. . There has been no change over the 15 months from any procedure I've had done, my muscles always stay locked.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, thank you again.
Hey there. Sorry to hear about the 15 months of having to deal with this. Well, we’ve noticed is that most of the time when people are struggling to get basic exercises and stretches in is because there’s some precursor steps that need to be done prior . What these are would be pending because we would need to assess you to figure out what they are. Everybody’s a little bit different. Per your second question, I think there’s a misconception that many people have QL spasms are all from the same problem or the same type of sub category. Again, everybody’s a little bit different and there are about 10 different conditions. I can think of off the top of my head that can create QL spasm as a primary symptom or compensation. if you’re open to it why don’t you do a consultation with us so we can ask more detailed questions and give you better answers that rather than generalities. Give us a ring 745024243. Sorry for any grammar issues, but I try to answer as many RUclips questions I can via audio dictation for my phone. Give us a shot. I bet we can help really quickly.
@@Performance-Place-chiropractor Thank you for your reply. I understand what you are saying about the difference from person to person with what is actually bothering them. I would definitely be up for a call to talk about what I'm dealing with. We are about to head out for a bit, so it will have to be tomorrow. What are your hours? Or the best time to call?
Anytime in the day is fine. We are in and out with people so just leave a message!
❤
Is a heating pad good to add
I wish I could tell you yes or no, but I don’t really know your case so I couldn’t tell.
@@Performance-Place-chiropractor ok thx for response and all the help u upload!
Happy you like the video. Consider working with us. We have virtuals and over 250 5 star reviews online
Thnks that helped me too much
You're welcome!
If I want to strengthen my right QL, which side do I aim toward the floor when doing a side bridge or side plank?
My weakness, tightness and pain are all on my right. Having my right side facing down feels like I'm engaging the right QL. Is that correct?
And thank you for the explanations at the end 😊
When performing a side plank or side bridge, the side closest to the ground is the most activated. However, it’s important to note that it may not be in your best interest to isolate QL. The purpose of these exercises are to improve how the muscles throughout the torso and hip interact with each other. In this particular size, we want to make sure that the whole side of the torso feels like it’s been worked, not just one area. However, it’s impossible to isolate one side of the torso versus the other, hence the top side of the core will be worked as well.
Thanks. I have a really bad muscle imbalance from being pretty sedentary for the last 30 yrs and mild scoliosis/right hip being at least 1/2" higher since I was about 8 yrs old. That's why I wanted to focus on one side, but I understand what you're saying. I do want to get strong and flexible all over, lol. In my case I think I'm supposed to strengthen left side and stretch the right, (so I had it wrong in my original comment. 😮) I'm very stiff and have a long way to go. Thank you for reading 😊
Good logic. An assessment would figure of if there is weakness in certain areas or not. Spinal position on images are not a measurement of strength
Should your lumbar be imprinted into the ground, or just neutral spine for the first movement?
We usually do neutral but that detail is case dependent
@@Performance-Place-chiropractor thank you.
Thank you
Can the QL affect the groin area as well?
Sure can
Hi I have been having lh pain fpr years. I am just wondering if tou feel pain in the front of the body as well as in the back?
Most people do not but everyone is different. If you want some help from us just set up a consultation
I am experiencing so much pain in my lower back right side. Can barely turn in bed and get out of bed normally. The pain is like something is sitting on a nerve near the hip area. Undescribable unpredictable shock nerve pain depending on the position of my body. Really hoping these exercises are going to sort it out.
Book a time to work with us one on one. It will be more effective that a stock flow we have an RUclips. Contact via link in video
Hey Dion, sounds like we got something in common. ☹️
Since your post is a month ago I would be interested to know if these exercises could help you. Best regards, Rolf
@rolfengelmann6877 Hi Rolf, thanks for the message. To be honest, I went in search for more but couldn't make up my mind. The pain subsided on its own. It has its days though but all good at the moment.
Sorry to hear about that guys. Don’t give it. Most people get a lot of relief once they find the right methods. Once pressure is off then it’s about 4-6 weeks to gain most of the recovery back
@@dionraath8092most pain issues we experience are cause by lack of stability strength and poor pursuits throughout the day . Excerszie / stretch fix your posture and you’ll never have back pain again
I have lower back pain on only the right side, made worse by leaning and bending forward. Lifting as well makes the pain worse. It this possibility the culprit? The QL seems to be the site of pain pretty precisely, no radiating pain or sensation of any sort down the leg
I’d love to help but I’d need to assess you one on one to give targeted suggestions and be able to tell you what is going on. Book a consultation with me to start the process.
Or if you want more information on low backs we have some excellent, affordable ebooks on our site www.p2sportscare.com/ebooks/
Can these help heirnated discs as well?
We use some for that but depends on location, severity, and how old it is. Typically with disc herniations we perform a complete physical assessment to figure out the best starting point that won’t create a flareup for the person. If you’d like an assessment like that, we can do it for you set up a consultation, and we can start it out. Link in description to the video.
For me this muscle always start hurting when i'm walking slow (shopping for example). It can then really hurt until i sit down somewhere. Will strecthing this often help or do you think there is another cause?
Sorry to hear you’ve been dealing with this, but to be honest, there’s so many different possible causes and without knowing more about what’s going on with you, I would have no idea. However, if you’d like me to look everything over, I can certainly do so. Just send us an email. Our contact is the description for the video
When i was doing rotational movement in hand-plank,i got spasm in ql.Spasm aggravated after sleeping in supine position.Thanks for your stretches.I will try n give you feedback.
Sorry to hear that. If you need help just reach out via the link in the description
Excellent video helped me a great deal ..thank you so much
But my question is this why am I getting spasms in my back muscles ? and is there a way to prevent them from happening in the first place ?
Thanks again
There sure is… or at least with many people. The concept of spinal hygiene has been around for a while and helps us understand how healthy habits can decrease probability of back pain. Some people have unique causes that can root back to trauma, old hip or leg injuries and even ankle ones. The body is one unit and works together to prevent lower back pain. Reach out if you want some details of what you could be doing
I really appreciate your reply , thanks @@Performance-Place-chiropractor
Happy to reply
Should I expect to be pain free immediately or days, weeks?
Most people find lasting results after about 2-3 week if they have the correct exercises/stretches and form. An physical assessment can narrow down the correct program. Let us know if you want some help. Link in description
Do we lift the side that hurts?
Lift?
