Good info but all 7 were unilateral stretches. Remind people these muscles are antagonists of one another, so if they do unilateral stretches on QLs, the other side QL is being tightened. I was hoping you would have bilateral stretches. Other wise…pretty good video.
Ok, so now I am feeling it. The QL is saying hello after just one day of this. How many reps of any of these should you do Bob and Brad? Every day or skip a day?
In case anyone was wondering, stretching anterior pelvic tilt means stretching the right muscles associated with anterior pelvic tilt which are your quads and psoas muscles
I love you guys, so SO much. I have been waiting for back surgery for a severely herniated disc (L5-S1) with horrible sciatica and I follow all your videos for that stuff, for years now, but recently I did something else to my back causing horrible pain and just figured out through these videos of yours (plus the ER doc and my own PT) that I tore my entire QL on my right side. I’ve been doing these stretches this morning and I can move around a whole lot better. For days I’ve barely been able to walk. Thank you!!!
I'd also like to hear more about why your muscle died after nerve damage and how you got that nerve damage. I had skin cancer removed and the doctor went to deep and hit a nerve and made my whole back flex during the procedure and I'm having major issues with my QL on that side ever since.
I’ve had excruciating back pain for the past two months, making it extremely difficult for me to work. I’ve been seeing a chiropractor and a physical therapist several days a week and nothing has been working. I came across this video and did your stretches along with you. My back pain literally completely disappeared by the end of the video. You guys are the best!!
You two do make me smile and I love your videos. But even more than that, you've just fixed my reoccuring QL pain that has been bothering me persistently for about 5 years now. Often it just 'grabs' at me and I change posture and have to be careful for several days. Other times I'm in great pain and can barely move. I did the ball release and instantly felt a massive difference. I was laughing and crying at the same time with relief and joy. Thank you so very much <3 <3
Hi Guys, If someone is assessing my core stability by pushing my left side (as if to try to tip me over to the right), which QL is activated to resist the motion? Right or left? Many Thanks!
where do i send a check – you have with this video done me more good than anything i have done including pain and sleeping pills since 1977, may you have long happy and healthy lives.. old man mike bengyak
Thank you SO MUCH for your videos, I have my herniated disc back into place thanks to your vids but I am stil having nerve pain, what do you guys think of inversion tables??
few weeks ago ..i had a sharp pain in my left glute ehile deadlifting.. since then it hurts when i stand on left leg solely.. like the actions like putting the sock on or single leg deadlifts..it doesn't hurt bad but it's there ..is it my si joint or bulging disc ? what should i do?
Thank you so much for this! Gave me some other exercises to do, about 90% of my back pain is in this area. Though it is funny when I have the dogs new ball, and it's not a tennis ball I know they're not good for dogs, in at my back and she's got her snout 🐽 shoved under my back trying to steal it! 😂 😂 😂 😂
THIS MAY ALSO HELP THOSE WITH GLUTEAL PAIN. If you tried everything available for gluteal pain, and it persists, try this ! In my case, I saw MDs, chiros and PTs. Tried meds, gluteal stretches & exercise, heat, ice, google, YouTube etc… finally I pieced together an idea from all the advice and treatments I had, and all the articles I read, plus a personal knowledge of my past history with injuries. That idea was to work on the Q L. My LEFT side was sooo tight and I didn’t know it cause I got so used to low back pain. That tightness caused my opposite side to hike up , causing my gluteal muscles on the RIGHT side to work overtime to bring me back into straight alignment, resulting in chronic pain in my right glute region. Do what BOB and BRAD said on this video could literally bring you back to life, even if your worst pain isn’t in your QL.
You guys are both master Yoda's in your field. Been following you for a very long time. And battling a reoccurring lower back problem many of your videos have been helpful but this one Takes the Cake. I think I finally isolated my issue to be the QL. Cheers, and thanks again guys for everything
Very helpful. Thanks so very much guys.
I need a bed that sinks down 6 inches for my shoulder.
Side sleeping
Driving
Coffee
Are my #3 QL jackers
Muscles can just die?!😨
you guys are awesome

I’m here because squats and deadlifts. And the lacrosse ball I can roll on for days
Great video! I love you both ! Great teachers! And team work !
Best intro I have ever seen..

Must we stretch each side or 1 side ??
What causes pelvic tilt? Weak stomach muscles and prolonged sitting, as found in a Google search.
I've found what helps me is actually 10 second dipping side planks. The muscle release is ridiculous. It's also strengthening it!
Can you do a video on helping hip hike?
Anyone having troubles should try the QL walk 😏

Thanks guys, awesome! What a good exercise for QL strengthening?
If your soreness or tightness is limited to one side does that indicate that that is the side that needs stretching and release
Hi Guys,
If someone is assessing my core stability by pushing my left side (as if to try to tip me over to the right), which QL is activated to resist the motion? Right or left?
Many Thanks!
Perfect timing. Just now started having issues with this
When using the ball, how do I know if I'm on the spinal erector or the QL? The QL seems like it's below the SE
where do i send a check – you have with this video done me more good
than anything i have done including pain and sleeping pills since 1977,
may you have long happy and healthy lives.. old man mike bengyak
Any recommendations specifically for acute QL spasms ?
I am a physiotherapist too😍😍😍..great job…a very useful video
Great video. It's very helpful to see the muscles on the dummy. Can you do one on the multifidus and erector spinae?
I LOVE WHAT YOU"RE DOING WITH THE SKELETON! That's so simple, yet effective at visualizing how the muscles attach and connnect bones!
Thank you!!! This was exactly the relief I needed – helped me tremendously!
I've included 'leaning against the wall' and the tennis ball thingy into my daily exercises and stretches.
Where are you guys located, I've had back pain for 20+ years, Would love an evaluation
Lol i just turned 25 and this is so for me.
This is a really useful video. Thanks
Thank you SO MUCH for your videos, I have my herniated disc back into place thanks to your vids but I am stil having nerve pain, what do you guys think of inversion tables??

this is what I have, for carrying heavy branches/trunks on my right shoulder

Brilliant both of you
Before trying to fix the heart, have you noticed that Sam has a chip on the shoulder?
I was told not to stretch hamstrings with anterior pelvic tilt, only hip flexors. Wall roll downs stretch your back and anterior pelvic tilt 😀
