Dr. Matthew Posa is a Chiropractor in Milton Ontario Canada. In this video, Dr. Matthew Posa shares the most common cause of one sided low back pain and a quick 5 min home stretch and strengthen exercise that will help if you are suffering with low back pain.

The quadratus lumborum ( #QL ) is a muscle located in the lower back, and it plays a crucial role in stabilizing the lumbar spine and supporting various movements. Stretching and strengthening exercises for the QL can be beneficial for improving lower back flexibility and reducing the risk of lower back pain. Here are some of the best stretches and strengthening exercises for the #quadratus lumborum:

Stretching Exercises for Quadratus Lumborum:
1. QL Stretch in a Seated Position:
- Sit on the floor with your legs extended.
- Cross your right ankle over your left leg.
- Gently twist your torso to the right, placing your left elbow on the outside of your right knee.
- Use your left arm to gently press your right knee toward the left.
- Hold for 20-30 seconds and repeat on the other side.

2. QL Stretch in a Standing Position:
- Stand with your feet hip-width apart.
- Reach your right arm overhead and bend your torso to the left.
- You can also hold onto a stable object, like a wall or chair, with your left hand for support.
- Hold for 20-30 seconds and repeat on the other side.

Strengthening Exercises for Quadratus Lumborum:

1. Bridge Exercise:
- Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor.
- Tighten your abdominal muscles and lift your hips off the ground, creating a straight line from your shoulders to your knees.
