This is exactly what people with low back pain need! I spent a whole year, avoiding any kind of flexion or extension, and it set me way back

This video singlehandedly liberated me from 8 months of demoralizing lower back tightness and discomfort from when I sprained my back last summer. Felt like I'd never be able to hoop again. Can't thank you enough for this video.

I've been dealing with QL strain and sciatica off and on for years and never really understood the process. Through the years, I've been seeing a chiropractor and have received some help but no real long term solution. I've watched many hundreds of YouTube videos from various physical therapists and chiropractors but have never found any of them as clear and thorough as this video. I know have a much greater understanding of what's been going on with my QL muscle. I'm going to incorporate your exercise techniques and see how things progress. I'm very grateful for your time and hard work creating this video and sharing it with the YouTube community and I'm a new subscriber :)

That QL walk will be a new staple in my training regiment.
Great comprehensive video 👍📚

This video literally is the answer to all the questions I had with lower back pain. It's exactly in that QL and since I started doing plans and side plans I feel that my lower back is slowly getting better. I just bought a romanian chair to do hip extension as well. It helps strength me lower back. Man back problem sucks!

Dankeschön für die Auswahl an Übungen für den QL

[TheDirthound]

Thank You for the common sense practical approach. I have a background in PT and have seen throughout my career PT's trying to teach people how to activate the multifdii at a single level. It's absurd all the myths and flat-out garbage that surrounds rehabbing common lumbar sprains/strains. The info you provided will actually help people. To those out there seeking help for LBP stay away from the woo merchants. You treat the low back as you would any other injury.

Winner! This is the best QL treatment video!

[mLify]

Thanks, this is extremely helpful. Just went to urgent care with what turned out to be a QL spasm (very painful!) and physical therapy has no open appointment slots for months. I really want to start doing something right now at home to fix this issue and improve my life, and this video provides excellent guidelines for how to do it. Thank you!

WOW> THIS WAS EXCELLENT> I am no newbie at PT and I have to say I have never seen a more complete, better explain free resource for QL/Lower back. Thanks!

[geeksta]

Glad your channel was suggested to me. Excellent advice and exercise demonstrations that are easy to follow along. Thank you!

[philipkim]

Thank you for this great educational video. I really appreciate your simple yet great explanation on this topic.

[dawng]

Your videos are so informative!! I am following your video for proximal hamstring tendinopathy. I am not fully recovered but still resumed tennis when I got this awful pain in my side. Do you think the PHT has affected my QL?

[gooferpup]

Recommend this by my GP and JMAPS so I’m commenting for engagement. Hope the NHS is paying you for doing the work for them 😂

[goldywindy]

I have pain in right QL. If I choose to bend aside or walk with a dumbell, in which hand do I hold the dumbell?? Thanks for good video!

[olafbuu]

thank you for the best quality content on yt! any thoughts on treating the SI joint pain? your last video on the topic is 3yo.
I'm experiencing a left side lower back pain that was identified as ql/SI problem, depending on the specialist. I've been trying a lot of excercises you show in the video for the last year, most helpful seems to be just a general strenghtening of the back, but I'm also looking for new walking/breathing patterns. I always come back to your videos for reference and confirmation. Thank you!

Great exercises. Do you have a video for psoas rehab?
