Meet Skelly. Skelly is going to help you learn about the quadratus lumborum, or QL — the deep muscle on the side of your lower back. You’ve got one on each side, and they attach from your lower ribs to the top of your pelvis. 👀 The QL helps you hike your hip, side bend your spine, and stabilize your pelvis every time you walk, twist, or lift a leg. 👀 But here’s the thing — when one side gets tight or overworked, it can pull your pelvis up, make one hip look higher, and throw off your whole ali

And sometimes, they don't work in sync and can stiffen up like crazy and restrict movement. Now, the first thing I jump to is: the QL Side Bend. This is an excellent and super easy way to introduce length

Fix Uneven Low Back Stiffness The quadratus lumborum (QL) is a muscle that runs on both sides of your lower back. It connects your ribs to your hips.

When that happens, it can affect how your whole body moves and how strong you are when you exercise. To fix this, you can use something called the QL Side Bend. It’s a great exercise to help with this problem. You don’t
