Wow, I am so impressed at how many of you completed one of my latest releases, Daily Stretches for Mobility and Better Movement. This was my first attempt at creating a short mobility sequence, and I think that resonated with those of you who don’t necessarily have time (or patience) for long stretching sessions during the week. I kept this momentum going with today’s release:
I dug deep in my toolbox for unconventional hip stretches that you may not have tried before. Two of these exercises focus on a tiny and mighty muscle known as the Quadratus Lumborum, or QL for short. The QL is a deep abdominal muscle and a common culprit behind hip, low back, and pelvic pain. Because of its anatomy, the QL can be difficult to isolate, but these stretches are a great starting point.
Since we’re talking about starting points, can we take a moment to acknowledge our newest FB expert, Amanda, who is also a Doctor of Physical Therapy?! It’s been so difficult for me to keep this amazing secret, especially since there have been multiple requests for upper body DPT-led workouts. Check out Amanda’s first workout, Complete Upper-Body Stretching and Mobility Routine, and send us feedback on other topics that we should tackle.
As always, thank you for supporting and working out with us!
