QL Rotate & Press

Use this SMR exercise AFTER the Center Quad Rock & Roll, the Side Roll, and in compliment with the Core Press (either immediately before or after). 

This SMR exercise is to address the deep knots in your lower back (primarily the quadratus lumborum muscle). 

If you have tightness or discomfort in your lower back, then this exercise is likely to help relieve your immediate discomfort, but the tight hip flexors on the opposite side of the spine are the likely source of your discomfort.

DON’T skip the work on your psoas!

You should do this SMR exercise at least once every 2 weeks. (more often is better)
