Ashburn and Herndon CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Exercise the Quadratus Lumborum

The quadratus lumborum – a quadrilateral-shaped muscle - is a paired muscle on the left and right side of the abdominal wall. It is a deep muscle and typically thought of as a back muscle as it stretches from the 12th rib to the upper 4 lumbar vertebrae. When contracted, the quadratus lumborum causes lateral flexion of the lumbar spine and/or elevation of the pelvis. (5) Several bridge-type exercises are being examined as to how they strengthen the quadratus lumborum’s dual layers of muscle in order for it to best contribute to the motor control of the lumbar pain and stop back pain. (6) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn and you can talk about how your spine may benefit from such exercise at your next Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic visit to Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn.
