Release your tight QL muscles quickly and easily without stretching and ease your back pain. This is a movement I learned from long time Hanna Somatic Educator Lawrence Gold. You can find more of his excellent videos on his channel here: / @lawrence9gold
In this video I'll guide you step by step through this simple Somatic movement to fully release your QL muscles. By learning how to first contract/tighten your QLs clearly and deliberately you can relax them almost instantly without any stretching or straining.
In addition to releasing the QLs, this movement also addresses the lats, obliques, intercostals, spinal extensors, lower traps and internal rotators of the hip, further amplifying the release of the entire side of the body.
These slow, easy Somatic movements allow you to lower muscle tension at the brain level for more consistent and enduring pain relief. By practicing these movements regularly you can regain full control of your body, have less muscle pain, feel more comfortable and move more freely than you have in years.

5 years of intense anger, pain, tension.. I knew it was my body fighting my mind, but deep down, it was my QL. I've literally done these same exercises for 2-3 hours straight, dying for that release, but never getting it. Almost doing this daily. Contemplating if my life will ever improve. I felt that pop w/ so much less effort. Turned me into a soft noodle. I couldn't bend over, and within 1 min I naturally bent over.. Used to not be able to fully flex my glute, now I'm squeezing it hard, making up for 5 years I missed out. Holy shit man. Bless you

@LearnSomatics 4 месяца назад

Hi Nicholas, I'm so glad this has helped you. To continue improving, I'd recommend following the Daily Routine video and also the Side Bend. Here they are: Daily Routine: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pxqlAAVlRKU.html Side Bend: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8mqZd_Ptt0s.html Let me know how it goes.

Can you tell us what the function of the ql is in walking I feel like it's hard for me to lift my posture since ql hurt

@LearnSomatics 3 месяца назад

@sarahgordon2597 QL is involved in extension of the lower back and also hiking the hip. If one side is tight it will definitely make your walking feel unbalanced. Have a look at the following videos to release not just your QL but both sides of your trunk. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jl1RrZRMw0Y.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gSWmeBbO5WE.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-j3LmYjKlhWE.html Let me know how that goes

Wow. I am a Pilates instructor, anatomy & kinesiology lover who has been suffering progressive pain in my right hip/back/lat area. Doctors can’t really tell on MRIs, except that my SI joint area looks inflamed, so I’ve had 8 shots in the last year into that area with limited to no relief toward the later shots. They always blame my weight when they run out of ideas for treatment that aren’t just numbing it. I’ve scoured the internet & tried all of the movements but not this. I just followed along with you and I am crying at the relief that I feel. I knew it was deep & muscular and I always suspected my ql was a culprit and the rest was referred pain. But WOW. Just. Thank you. Looking forward to continuing this practice & incorporating these movements into my daily work. Can’t wait to see the progress of healing with these movements in my tool kit. ❤

@laurenleanderbsnrnccrn4257 Год назад

Hey there! Looking forward to giving this a shot for my chronically tight and knotted right QL. What do you suggest for repetitions and/or time for inhale and exhale on each movement?

@LearnSomatics Год назад

Hi Lauren, a handful of repetitions or so is usually enough, but really once the movement feels easy and smooth you'll know you're done. Re: breathing, normally it's inhale on the effort/contraction and exhale on the release. But on this one because the QLs attach to the lower ribs you can do the opposite. Take your time, go slow, pay attention to the feeling of your muscles contracting and then make the release as smooth as possible and you should be fine. Be sure to do both sides tho!

@laurenleanderbsnrnccrn4257 Год назад

@@LearnSomatics Thank you for the quick reply! That all makes sense. I really appreciate the explanation. Do you typically feel any sensations with the actual release of the QL? Ex: in a massage I'll often feel a spasm once the muscle or knot releases.

@LearnSomatics Год назад

@@laurenleanderbsnrnccrn4257 This is very different to a massage because YOU are doing the movement and initiating the contraction and relaxation of the muscles. You need to be able to feel your QL contract first, if you can't feel it contract you won't be able to release it. Done correctly, the release should just feel like a pleasant letting go, softening of the muscles.

Hi Colm, i did the hip hikers ,it was stif and hard to do then i did this ql movement, then wen back to hip hiking and it was easier.The thing was i was holding my hips while doing the hip hikers,i could feel tension before in the hip like a ball in the hip the first time i did the hikers,then after ql went back to hikers and that ball of tension in my hip feels softer in my hand after.Hope that makes sense

@LearnSomatics Год назад

Yeah that makes sense. As a general rule, when doing the movements pay very close attention to your trunk/torso. Ask yourself - what do I need to do with my trunk to make this move feel easier? For example in the hip hikers, let your ribs shift side to side a bit as well as allowing your hips to go up and down. And let your head go along for the ride too.

@sarahgordon2597 3 месяца назад

This stuff works internal rotation I also do the pretzel move from bar method

@LearnSomatics 3 месяца назад

Hi Sarah. The goal of this movement is to feel your QL contracting and more importantly relaxing. Yes there will be some internal rotation of the hip but it’s not the main focus. Make sure you are bringing the side of your hip and your ribs together when doing this. And use less hip if need be. Thanks for watching.

@sarahgordon2597 3 месяца назад

@@LearnSomatics thank you . iwill focus on this movement today, i am assuming we are balancing this muscle, through active contraction and then release,?

@LearnSomatics 2 месяца назад

Hi Sarah. Yes, our muscles tighten subconsciously in response to accidents, injuries, stress, anxiety, etc. Over time they can get so tight they start to cause restriction or pain. In order to release this subconscious tightening you have to tighten/contract them deliberately first, then slowly release. That's what we are doing in all Somatic movements. Let me know how it goes.

You're welcome! If you can feel the tight spot, initiate the release from that spot, ie; make that the first area you allow to soften as you relax out of the contracted position.
