Quadratus Lumborum (QL) Lumbar stabiliser, lateral flexor, bilaterally extends the lumbar spine. The QL is one of the core body muscles, along with other muscles that help to stabilise the abdomen and back. It is the deepest level of muscles that could be the culprit of your back pain! Where there is long periods of sitting and the lumbar spine is resting in this position the muscle will become shortened and tight. With this chronic pain is common and acute injury becomes likely in normal daily activity. Deep tissue massage will help improve flexibility and stretches advised.

Gluteus Medius- abducts the hip, and the anterior fibres help internally rotate the femur. It plays the key role in normal gait by stabilising the pelvis when the contralateral leg is lifted off the ground. Dysfunction of the Gluteus Medius is a very common cause of lower back pain and one that I treat quite often.
Some individuals experience a referral pain/discomfort to the groin. In some other cases the QL then becomes tight because it’s having to work harder. Strengthening the glutes will πŸ’― improve their function.
Sports massage will help loosen the muscle and improve flexibility. Strengthening and stretching exercises are also advised.

When pushing your body to the limits training it's important to remember not only to eat well, stretch and get a MASSAGE! Better flexibility can improve your performance in physical activities and decrease your risk of injuries by helping your joints move through their full range of motion and enabling your muscles to work more effectively. Stretching also increases blood flow to the muscle. MET and STR are stretching techniques that any qualified Sports Massage Therapist will use to suit each individual during treatment. Today and tomorrow are your last 2 days to get your pre marathon relaxing treatments.
