Hands on WEDNESDAY – Strain Counter-Strain to the Quadratus Lumborum muscle

The strain counterstrain technique applied to the quadratus lumborum (QL) muscle is a manual therapy method designed to alleviate muscle tension by positioning the body in a way that relieves strain.

By gently shortening the muscle in a pain-free position, this technique reduces muscle spasms and restores proper function to the QL, which plays a crucial role in stabilizing the lower back and pelvis. The QL’s function is vital for maintaining proper posture, and relieving tension in this muscle enhances biomechanical efficiency.
