If You’ve EVER Had Low Back Pain…

If you wanted a single stretch that is going to make you feel amazing after every time you do it, then this is the one for you. The QL slide is a simple stretch that anyone can do.

This stretch is going to help anyone out there that has suffered from muscular low back pain. The Quadratus Lumborum or hip hiker muscle is often times relegated to chronic stiffness and tightness from never being adequately stretched. This easy to perform movement is going to do a great job stretching this low back muscle.

Simply drop a leg back and use your arms to prop up your body into a side bent position. Try and maintain this position for 30-45 seconds each side and look to feel the stretch most in the outside area of your lower back just around your waistline. To increase the difficulty of the stretch even more you can allow the other leg to slide out a bit which will place more stretch on the adductors of the hips.

So if you are feeling any tightness in your lower back, this simple stretch is going to help you to feel a whole lot better than you did before you started doing it.
