My back has been killing me for the past 1.5 years and I recently figured out it must be the QL. I just did this stretch for the first time and feel relief already. THANK YOU.
I’m a nurse with injuries accumulated during Pandemic. I am also a yoga student and learning anatomy again and muscles. All your videos have been so helpful! Maybe I should have been a physical therapist ! I love all that you teach and do! And I love your exercises and your friendship! Thank you so much!
OMG. This is excellent and exactly what I need to stretch since a near fatal 8.5m fall 2-2012. It’s as you said being “protective” all the blasted time and sometimes spasms all the while causing severe pain. That demonstration with the tape was very good at showing me how it works, because with me once I understand how it works, to help fix it is much easier to understand. Thank you both so much
Wow Bob& Brad this is a life changer!! Also, if you put the stick on the opposite side and lean in in the same way, it increases the stretch a lot! Thanks a lot!!
You are very creative and it's a great stretch, however, I've seen javelin throwers doing that stretch as part of their warm-up for years. I myself, created a different great stretch. Years later I found in a book while taking a Traditional Chinese Medicine Course. It had been printed centuries ago, oh well... I love your videos. Keep up the good work. Finally, you should do a TH-cam Poll to prove that you guys are the most popular PT's on the internet once and for all.
Brad: Did you really invent that QL stretch technique? It works great! And you can move around easily to get to the right spot. The QLs are my nemesis. Years of abuse/poor posture, I'm certain.
I have been rolling this with the foam roller against a wall. It really is relieving the tension. This is a muscle that need to be loose if you are a martial arts kicker.
I'm a straight man. I would kiss you both on the mouth if I could. Thank you so much. Also. If you think the FREE video HELPING YOU could be better - Look at yourself. Really.
Wow this actually felt great, how often should one do this? I have an ongoing issue with a lateral pelvic tilt where the QL is one of the suspected causes.
Brad I know that you have studied martail arts . I would appreciate if you could Do a series on the implications of muscles in martail arts , specifically the round hose kick and the quadratus lumbardum and abdominal obliques. also the side kick and the quadratus the glutius medius and the position of the Oscoxa I belive thousand are waiting for this
Nice! I like to do an ipsilateral QL contraction side bend w slightly raised hip, to dynamically strengthen as well - will add a mild counter rotation to that movement, thanks to your stretch! One way and the other way - feels great, thanks!
Thanks for your support! Here are a few videos on lower back pain: th-cam.com/video/jogQL7TxXTA/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/PNVwRc10rGw/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/NM3z8oQsK_U/w-d-xo.html We hope they help!
Your techniques have worked well for my buldging disc in my neck. (Towel, McKenzie method) I have more mobility but still have some pain and a lot of muscle twitches in my Right arm. Is that a normal part of the healing process? Should go away with time right? Thanks guys.
ET Nem muscle twitches and peripheral pain getting worse is bad dude. Go see a therapist and get yourself properly assessed instead of doing generic treatment techniques. Bob and brad are awesome 😎
Hello Bob and Brad... I want to ask how many cycles (30 sec exercise - 10 sec rest) should I do it? and for how long (I mean for how many months should I do it before stop doing it)?
the quadratus lumbardum is involved in hip - hiking as it attaches to the iliac crest but on the other side is the glutius medius and glutius minimum how can I streathed this muscle ?
As a registered dental hygienist I sit a great deal of the day. I end up twisting mostly toward my patient so that my right side ( I think) would be elongated. I have SI joint dysfunction and I have found that my QL gets very sore and stretching my QL does help. Should I focus on twisting a certain way instead of the way that Bob showed in the video since that's how I sit most of the day? Should I twist more to the right instead of to the left since that's what I do most of the day?
I have confusion between SI joint pain and a strained QL. I have pain in the lower left back every time I squat or stand for long periods. When there is pain it is aggravated while taking deep breaths. What could it be?
Thanks ... Nice information... Kindly tell some usefull excercises for healthy utrus and ovaries... I have 5 continous miscarriages in 4 years of married life... Now doctors told me that my blood is thick and in pregnancy vassels couldnt supply the enough blood to sac... But continous dnc's make me so weak... Kindly guide me what excersises should I do? And what kind of food should I eat to avoid blood thickening...
@@alexweisenfeld1126 Yeah man but technique on the deadlift is quite overrated in my opinion. I mean it's not like shooting a basketball, deadlifting is simply lifting something heavy from the floor. It's a natural movement. So when form breaks down usually comes from muscle disfunction and wrong patterns rather than the skill to do the movement. If you look at powerlifting training is completely based on this concept
@@davidfernandez8515 Technique on the dead lift is overrated? That's a dangerous belief to be spreading. Only takes 1 lapse in judgement or error for things to go terribly wrong when dead lifting. Doesn't matter how "natural" of a motion it is because the weight being lifted isn't natural
Maybe it's been like that for years. I put a heat pad first to warm up for 15 mins. I think you must work through it. I am feeling very bruised and sore from physio but I have stretched a very day and 3 days later its all starting to feel looser and no pinching. My buttocks, hips and whole lower back area has been bad for over 35 years.
In my case , my lower shoulder is the same side as my higher hip (bc of a tight muscle), but for you it may be the same and it may not be, I mean you should check if your shoulders are uneven because of an unbalanced QL - stand in front of the mirror and put you fingers on the top of your hips and see if they're at the same height, if so then the problem could be something else and u may need to stretch other muscles instead of the QL. Hope that helps

I feel like most of these videos could be so much more concise. I find myself consistently watching at 1.5x speed and still skipping through a decent amount.
Gheorghe Bogdan picking up a pen 🖊, or sneezing, or coughing, or living life can give you the same. It’s all about assess treat and reassess. If on assessment/ in the paperwork you find a posterior disc bulge or pain/ radiating pain on flexion then obviously don’t do this. If QL is found to be tight on palpation +examination then these stretches may just be the best thing in the world for the patient. Be rational don’t be an idiot.

I can’t help but break out in spontaneous dance when I hear that intro 🕺🏻
And now I can do it pain-free!!!
Thank God for physical therapists!

Care to share please?
Are you alive ??
You two should perform at a local comedy club. Remind me of the Smothers Brothers. This is great, other people have such painful methods to hit the QL
Brad: Did you really invent that QL stretch technique? It works great! And you can move around easily to get to the right spot. The QLs are my nemesis. Years of abuse/poor posture, I'm certain.
Came for the healing. Stayed for the banter.
Thanks guys I have been suffering from back problems for 10 years 3 surgeries and really tight at the QL area will try ASAP.
Also, try rock climbing easy climbs in an indoor climbing gym. That really gets this stretch 👍🖖

Thank you guys! I have been having trouble with this area for a while now.
We're happy to help. Thanks for watching!
me too! I pull this baby while deadlifting, so having a stretch for this area is very nice until I figure out a more permanent solution
@@puddingball I haven't been able to deadlift for about 8 months. I hope this stretch helps
Feels so good all over for a morning stretch after an afternoon of Baggo!!
I'm a straight man. I would kiss you both on the mouth if I could. Thank you so much.
Also. If you think the FREE video HELPING YOU could be better - Look at yourself. Really.
I agree with you. People feel entitled its odd. You're owed nothing so be grateful.
I think if you look at subscribers you might actually be the most famous PT's on YT (so not just your own opinion). Great casual video. :)
Wow this actually felt great, how often should one do this? I have an ongoing issue with a lateral pelvic tilt where the QL is one of the suspected causes.
Sometimes, I thumbs up your videos simply because I like the quote.
very good and simple! Thank you!
another great helpful video , you guys are both great and you work so well together 👍
Thanks for the support Jacqui!
Awww...we're in Australia. How about a give away to give a "lesson on line" or "symptom checker" on line or similar for us internationals.
Your video clips are a good daily motivation to exercise. Thank you.
I feel this stretching my lats, I'm not really sure that I feel it in my QLs, is that normal?
Cool, ive been sitting in a weird position in the car and at work, and started to get pain here when squatting and deadlifting. Hope this helps.
Hey just wondering did it work? I have the same problem
@@bubbashrimp9005 did it work for you you must have tried it by now lol?
@@jochembraad1760 it worked great only to find out the actual problem is that i herniated 2 discs in my lumbar
Today I did bridges as one of my exercises at phys therapist. Recovering from knee avulsion. Good times.
Hey, this gives pole dancing a new feel! LOL

Can this be mistaken for kidney pain?
You guys are great, my QL has been tight on both sides and hurt, I will implement this for sure
A+ information , thank you. This is one of the most helpful stretches for elevated hip on one side. (Along with other stretches and exercises).
We're glad we can help. Thanks for watching!
Jeff do you have hip issues? I have left hip dysplasia and this past year is causing many issues. Curious about yourself; thanks!

Did you turn your kitchen into a PT office?! Better clean that up before your wife gets home 🤣
Amazing! Thanks for the tip
Thanks for watching!
Thanks guys.
Thanks for your support!
What about passive insufficiency. Doesn't the arm movement at the shoulder put the latissimus dorsi on stretch and prevent stretching of the ql?
Amazing stretch . And love you guys! Your like the Micheal Scott of physio! 👍
Hello Bob and Brad... I want to ask how many cycles (30 sec exercise - 10 sec rest) should I do it? and for how long (I mean for how many months should I do it before stop doing it)?
What if you have a QL problem
Also I have A herniated disc can I still do this stretch
Hi! How to do this without any stick? Can I do the stretch against the wall for the stick substitution? Thankss
Hi i have this problem and my left leg has been short i have so pain when i walk also i have pelvic rottain
the quadratus lumbardum is involved in hip - hiking as it attaches to the iliac crest but on the other side is the glutius medius and glutius minimum how can I streathed this muscle ?
I will try
Can you link or say which video Bob mentioned how the stick helped him with impingement.?

Organic vegetable based diet! nothing processed, no sugar, or gluten!
Drink lots of clean water, like 60 ounces a day. It helps give your body more fluids that may help with thinning your blood some. Ask your doctor.
Any ideas on how to fix an abdominal diastasis recti?
Got a nice stretch in my lats.
This stretch is so great. I could feel quadratus lumborum, it was so intense :-)
Thank you guys! Can it also be stretched by hanging on a bar?
How many times should I do that cycle
Could this be injured from deadlifting?
Yes it can
@@ONE-pg7wd not really, it's more like the deadlift can point it out to you but the problem was there way before
@@davidfernandez8515 I see where you're coming from, but most people get injured from deadlifts because they don't know how to properly deadlift. 😂

Every time I stretch it. It spasms like crazy. It’s so sore I can’t stretch it. What can I do. It’s destroying my quality of life.
Maybe it's been like that for years. I put a heat pad first to warm up for 15 mins. I think you must work through it.

Buy yourself a lacrosse Ball and work on self myofascial release. I face the same issue. Once you release and stretch it, then work on side bridges.
The sound of the videos is not good
Starts at 4:06
you need to adjust the content
How do you know which side to stretch like my left shoulder is lower than my right so should I stretch out my left side or both sides
In my case , my lower shoulder is the same side as my higher hip (bc of a tight muscle), but for you it may be the same and it may not be, I mean you should check if your shoulders are uneven because of an unbalanced QL - stand in front of the mirror and put you fingers on the top of your hips and see if they're at the same height, if so then the problem could be something else and u may need to stretch other muscles instead of the QL.
Hope that helps
