This video is dedicated to our friend the quadratus lumborum, which is responsible for 80% myofascial lower back pain and refers beautifully to our other friends the gluteal musculature.
Always work bilaterally to incorporate treatment to both the QL's. It is often the case one side will be tensionally loaded and the other is really sensitive and please work safely and slowly gauging your client's comfort.
This is technique is perfect for those that suffer facet joint issues and disc derangements as it reduces the compressive loads to the lumbar discs.
