How to Permanently Loosen a Tight QL (Quadratus Lumborum)

The key to permanently loosening a tight quadratus lumborum requires more than just finding the perfect stretch.

Instead, we need to pair up good QL stretches with an attempt to resolve the underlying cause behind why that QL became tight in the first place.

In this video, I show you an instantly effective quadratus lumborum stretch and also what you may need to address in order to give yourself the best chance to have it permanently go away forever.

Let me know how you went!
