#Repost @drjoemuscolino with @get_repost ・・・ When the quadratus lumborum (QL) is tight, it can create a postural distortion pattern of an elevated pelvic bone (“hiking the hip”). So whenever we find an elevated iliac crest, we need to assess the QL on that side to see if it is all or part of the cause. bit.ly/dcomt #ql #quadratuslumborum #posture #hipjoint #manualtherapy #movementtherapy #orthopedicmassage #remedialmassage #physicaltherapy #physiotherapy #chiropractic #digitalcomt #clinicalorthopedicmanualtherapy

💢QUADRATUS LUMBORUM💢 In this photo I’m helping a student locate her QL so we can roll it with a therapy ball. FUNCTION==> This muscle is a major lumbar spine stabilizer. Ever see someone who tilts to one side? Look for QL imbalance. When both function together the muscles extend the spine, when one works solo it’ll laterally flex and slightly rotate. The main antagonist is the opposite side QL. LOCATION ==>Your QL attaches to the transverse processes of your top four vertebrae (L1-4) and your twelfth rib and it’s quadrangle inferior aspects insert in to your posterior iliac crest and also your iliolumbar ligament. PAIN==> the QL is overly demonized as a predominant cause of of low back pain. If it hurts, sure stretch and roll@it but then activate it Stay tuned!
