Movement Monday 💪 Shoulders That Serve Grab a the Movement Monday 💪 Shoulders That Serve

Grab a theraband and let’s open up those shoulders. Start with arms straight out in front of you, then slowly pull the band apart, reaching your arms out to the sides. This helps activate the upper back, strengthen postural muscles, and counteract that forward shoulder position from daily life.

Move with control, keep your shoulders relaxed, and feel your chest open as you go. Strong, supported shoulders start with simple, consistent movement.

🗣️ What We’ve Seen in the Office with Jacob: Quadr 🗣️ What We’ve Seen in the Office with Jacob: Quadratus Lumborum (QL) Pain

One thing Jacob has been seeing a lot lately? QL pain.

The quadratus lumborum is a deep low back muscle that helps stabilize your spine and pelvis. When irritated, it can create that deep ache, tightness, or “locked up” feeling on one side of the low back.

Patients often notice it with:
• Standing too long
• Rolling in bed
• Bending or twisting
• Lifting kids, bags, or weights
• Sitting for extended periods

A lot of times this muscle gets overworked because something else isn’t moving or stabilizing well. Stress, posture, workouts, pregnancy/postpartum changes, or compensation patterns can all play a role.

Treatment may include chiropractic care, soft tissue work, mobility, strengthening, and helping the body move more efficiently overall.

If your low back keeps feeling tight or like it “grabs” on one side, the QL might be part of the picture 👏

Movement Monday 💪 Shoulders That Serve Wall angel Movement Monday 💪 Shoulders That Serve

Wall angels are a go-to for opening the chest and strengthening the muscles that support good posture. With your back against the wall, move your arms slowly up and down while keeping ribs down and wrists/elbows gently connected. It’s a simple way to counteract desk time and get your shoulders moving the way they’re meant to.

Slow, controlled reps = stronger, more supported shoulders.
