Quadratus Lumborum (QL) Lumbar stabiliser, lateral flexor, bilaterally extends the lumbar spine. The QL is one of the core body muscles, along with other muscles that help to stabilise the abdomen and back. It is the deepest level of muscles that could be the culprit of your back pain! Where there is long periods of sitting and the lumbar spine is resting in this position the muscle will become shortened and tight. With this chronic pain is common and acute injury becomes likely in normal daily activity. Deep tissue massage will help improve flexibility and stretches advised.
