COURSE CALENDAR: https://www.adsacrum.hr/en/physiovers... FREE guide for rehabilitation professionals ▶️︎ https://www.adsacrum.hr/en/physiovers... 💡 Lower back pain is very often associated with increased tone and dysfunction of the Quadratus Lumborum muscle, one of the key stabilizers of the lumbar spine and pelvis. Due to Quadratus Lumborum hypertonus, patients may experience: pain in the lower back region stiffness and limited lumbar mobility pain during prolonged standing or walking compensatory movement patterns in the pelvis and trunk discomfort around the iliac crest and sacroiliac region radiating tension toward the gluteal region or lateral hip 👨‍🏫 In this video, BSc. PT Toni Marić demonstrates how to correctly assess, palpate and treat the Quadratus Lumborum muscle using Dry Needling as part of a structured rehabilitation approach. 🔹 Proper palpation of the Quadratus Lumborum requires precise anatomical orientation due to the depth and position of the muscle. 🔹 Accurate needle direction and patient positioning are essential for safe and effective treatment. 🔹 Correct clinical reasoning is crucial when differentiating Quadratus Lumborum dysfunction from other sources of lower back pain. 🔺 It is extremely important to emphasize that Quadratus Lumborum Dry Needling must be performed with maximum caution due to the proximity of abdominal organs and surrounding vital structures. 🔺 Incorrect needle angle or depth significantly increases the risk of complications and must be strictly avoided in clinical practice. In the video you will learn: – how to accurately palpate the Quadratus Lumborum muscle – how to safely position the patient for treatment – how to apply precise and safe Dry Needling techniques – how to reduce lower back pain and improve lumbar function 🎥 Watch the video and learn how precise palpation and safe Dry Needling of the Quadratus Lumborum can effectively reduce lower back pain and improve overall function.
