Quadratus Lumborum (QL) Pain | Lower Back Rehab

Hey man, I was about to send you a message then I saw your video and didn't recognise you without the beard! haha! Lookin' good brother. Check your inbox in a bit. :)

Is there a big symptom difference between muscle strain and bulged disc?

Hi bro I'm struggling sometimes when I move or get into side planks I have a horrible sharp pain when I'm balancing is there any advice it's destroying my life it's like a nasty stabbing pain

This is exactly easy I've been going through meant my whole after 24 years old life. I'm 46.
Ben, you explained the pain so spot on👍
In super looking forward to receiving my QL Claw in the mail....unfortunately I've got to wait longer for it over here in Australia. The more of your videos I watch and the more I read, the more confident I get in the Claws ability to bring relief 👌

I got the same thing it bad like a 6

Dude. Thank you so much for all these videos! Between the claw, stretches and strengthening exercises my QL pain is improving significantly. Thank you!

What if there's pain after side planks ? That's good after strengthening?

I Have lower back injury from a snowboard fall 5 years ago. Officially diagnosed as a soft tissue injury. I constantly go through a cycle of letting it heal then reaggravating it. Pain starts right above iliac crest, I can put my finger right on the spot along top of the hip. As it becomes more aggravated with use, pain moves up into the maroon area in your pain diagram at the begging of this video. It is definitely crunchy in the area right along the hip. I've tried massage a massage gun and a thera cane on this spot. It usually becomes very sore almost feels bruised after intense massage. I've also tried chiro, pt, acupuncture and prp without improvement. PT thought it was the QL but couldn't fix it. Also had about 5 MRIs and nothing shows up. In your experience should I be targeting the QL? I used to be a avid weight lifter before this injury and this has derailed my hobby. Looking for any help, I can't find any answers. Thanks.

What is that black thing you are holding?
