🔥 The Hidden Muscle Wrecking Your Lower Back – Meet Your QL 🔥 If your lower back is always sore after sitting, if you feel deep, stubborn knots, or if your hips feel uneven and locked up—your QL (Quadratus Lumborum) is probably the culprit. 💡 What’s the QL? This sneaky little muscle connects your ribs to your pelvis and controls side bending, hip elevation, and spinal stability. But here’s the problem: ⚡ Most people are stuck in posterior tilt (tucking their pelvis under), forcing the QL to lock up and compensate. ⚡ It’s hard to access, so most stretches and foam rolling don’t hit it right. ⚡ It holds deep knots that don’t just go away with a basic massage. 🔥 Signs Your QL is Messed Up: * Lower back pain after sitting for too long. * Deep, nagging knots in the sides of your lower back. * One hip feels higher than the other when you stand. * Bending sideways feels stiff or restricted. 💡 The Fix? You need to align your body, mobilize your spine, strengthen, and release it properly—and we’ve got the exact programs to get you there. Our Back & Core Program and Disc Bulge, Herniation & Sciatica Program target the QL and surrounding areas so you can finally move pain-free. Stop fighting your back pain the wrong way. Hit the QL right, and fix it for good. Link in bio to start today, or head to moveu.com!
Achilles tendonitis getting you down? 😔 🚨 Your Calves Are Probably Tighter Than You Think – Here’s How to Fix It! 🚨 If your calves and Achilles feel like bricks, your ankles are stiff, squats feel rough, and every step has extra tension. That’s because you’re skipping one of the most overlooked recovery tools—calf massage. 💡 Try This Self-Massage Flow: 🔹 Start low – Use both thumbs to dig into the Achilles tendon and slowly work up toward the calf. 🔹 Don’t forget the popliteus – That sneaky little muscle behind your knee helps unlock full mobility. 🔹 Move back down – Reverse the motion, keeping steady pressure as you go. 🔹 Double palm squeeze – Place both palms on the calf and use a squeegee motion to flush tension out. 🔹 Repeat for 2-3 minutes per side, breathing deep and not wincing like a baby. 🔥 Why It Works: * Boosts ankle mobility for better squats and lunges. * Loosens tight Achilles & calves that lead to knee and foot issues. * Helps break up adhesions that keep your lower leg locked up. If you’re feeling restricted when you move, this is a must-do. #FixYoFeet #CalfMobility #AchillesHealth #OnlyYouCanMoveYou
