Montreal chiropractic care offers exercise recommendations to strengthen spine muscles like the quadratus lumborum as the back heals and recovers.

Montreal CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Exercise the Quadratus Lumborum

The quadratus lumborum – a quadrilateral-shaped muscle - is a paired muscle on both sides of the abdominal wall. It’s a deep muscle and typically considered a back muscle as it stretches from the 12th rib to the upper 4 lumbar vertebrae. When contracted, the quadratus lumborum causes lateral flexion of the lumbar spine and/or rise of the pelvis. (5) Several bridge-type exercises are being studied as to how they strengthen the quadratus lumborum’s dual layers of muscle in order for it to best add to the motor control of the lumbar pain and stop back pain. (6) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic and you can discuss how your spine may benefit from such exercise at your next Montreal chiropractic visit to Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic.
