Quadratus Lumborum Self-Stretch

Sit comfortably, with your spine lengthened. Place a towel or strap under your left foot, and hold the other end in your left hand. Side bend to the left as far as you can, taking up any slack in the strap . This lengthens the right QL. Using the strap to prevent your motion, try to bend up to the right, isometrically contracting the right QL. Deepen the stretch by bending farther to the left.

 

Facilitated stretches should always be pain free. If the pain persists, don't do this stretch until you've determined why it hurts.
