Relieve Tight QL Muscles for Runners 🏃♀️💪
Runners are prone to developing tight QL muscles (Quadratus Lumborum) in the lower back due to their significant role in stabilizing the lower back and pelvis during running. Addressing this issue involves a holistic approach that includes stretching, strengthening, and massage.
Simple QL Stretch to Relieve Tightness 🧘♂️✨
Today, I’m going to take you through a simple stretch for your QL to help relieve tightness and improve muscle function. Here’s how to do it:
- Sit on your sit bones, legs shoulder-width or wider apart.
- Put your left hand under the inside of your left knee.
- Rotate your body to the right.
- Sweep your right arm up over your ear and point your fingers towards your left toes.
- Hold at a point of mild tension for 30 seconds.
- Option to hold for another 20 seconds.
- Repeat on the other side.
- Add this stretch to your pre-run warm-up and cool down! 🔄
