🙏🏼But don’t worry, we got your back (literally)! Give these muscles (quadratus lumborum) some love, and they will help you to get rid of your low back pain. I am going to show you a quick release point to target and to loosen up your low back muscles and help to reduce your low back pain.

1️⃣- Grab a foam roller, tennis/lacrosse ball, or a water bottle. Get on the ground and place it in your low back area. Starting off to one side instead of right down the center of your back. Your low back might not tolerate it at first so start slow. 

2️⃣- Do a self-search in the QL muscles of your back by rolling side to side until you find a tender spot! Once there, wait on it for 1-2mins or when the tenderness decreases by 50% from when you started. 

❤️After you gave them the love they deserve, don’t forget to strengthen it to get them in tip-top shape to stabilize your spine! Check out our link in our bio for the “Side Bridge Mastery” video on our Youtube channel to find out how!
