Tight QL? It might be more than just a muscle issue.
When your Quadratus Lumborum (QL) is stiff or limited, it’s rarely working alone, it’s often part of a bigger pattern of fascia restriction in your body.
Why does this happen? Your survival brain can tighten fascia to protect you from:
Poor posture over time
Old injuries
Emotional trauma from the past
Current stress
Here’s the tricky part ... if you just try to stretch it, you can end up in a tug-of-war between your logical brain (wanting to move) and your survival brain (wanting to protect). Push too hard, and your body will simply find new ways to brace and compensate.
✅ The better approach?
See a Lyno Practitioner who will assess your whole body and identify the patterns of bracing.
By working with the autonomic nervous system, we can release these restrictions, restore movement, and reduce compensation.
Your body isn’t just tight, it’s protecting you. Let’s work with it, not against it. 💚
Book your assessment today and let's get you moving.
