Hey Reader, One of the common causes of side lower back pain and tension is a tight quadratus lumborum muscle. And I’ve put together a list of amazing stretches to help you release this muscle so it can stop pulling on your pelvis. The QL is a deep muscle located in the back area and part of the deep core. A tight QL can cause intense lower back pain due to prolonged sitting or compensation. It’s also attached to both the spine and pelvis... When it tightens, it causes pain in the upper hip...

Hi Reader, If you’re struggling with tight hips, lower back pain, or tension in your legs, I have a new stretching routine to help you get relief and improve mobility and flexibility in your hips. Tightness in the hips pulls your pelvis forward, triggering pain in the lower back and piriformis. Research shows that addressing pelvic tilt and hip range of motion can improve back pain. The stronger your hips (glutes), the more stress they can relieve from your lower back. But before you start...

What if you had a go-to routine that worked every time to relieve tightness in your hip and piriformis? Something quick and effective, with mostly bodyweight exercises. I'm asking because, for years, I've relied on a specific routine called the 'hip series' for quick, immediate relief whenever I start to feel my hip acting up. Here’s what this hip series will do: Each exercise is designed to engage your hip stabilizers. The back-to-back movements will increase tension in the glute medius, so...

Hi Reader, If you are a side sleeper, I have a very helpful tip that’ll allow you to relax your lumbar spine and relieve pressure immediately. Side lower back pain also felt down the piriformis muscle is often due to tightness in the QL muscle. QL tightens and pulls hip up. This muscle tightens and shortens and it pulls on the lower back and hips. It can also trigger piriformis pain (on the right side). I realized this a few years back when I noticed my piriformis muscle stopped hurting when...
