Lower Back Pain Hack!
This stretch targets our QL (#QuadratusLumborum) muscles of our deep core. I love this stretch because I really struggled during my #pregnancy with low back pain in this specific area and felt crunched up and needed space. After playing around a bit, I finally stumbled upon this easy and oh-so-yummy stretch that really helped me open up my lower back and provided me with instant relief. Now, if you’re pregnant, please make sure you don’t twist too much but a gentle twist is generally ok (given you don’t have any complications). If you’re not comfortable though, skip the twisting all together and just lean gently to one side. That helps immensely too!
Here are some things to remember:
👉🏽 if you’ve got tight hips and butterfly is not a comfy position for you, you can actually sit on the edge of your bed or a bench with your two feet planted on the floor, and do this stretch by grabbing the opposite leg with one hand and using your other hand to push the bed or bench away from you, leaning to the side. it’s super gentle and accessible!
👉🏽 like I said, if you’re preggo, twist less and focus more on creating space. I quite loved the feeling of the stretch on my belly but not all of y’all might so take it easy and listen to your body!
👉🏽 this stretch isn’t a fix the root cause of your lower back pain type of stretch. It’s just for instant relief. If you need to go see a doc or physio GO DO THAT STAT. 
👉🏽 as always, breathe and practice with love!
