It might be because the quadratus lumborum is doing all the work. Aly takes listeners inside one of the most misunderstood muscles in the body, the QL, tracing its anatomy, its habits, and the domino effect that happens when the surrounding system stops pulling its weight. Aly walks through exactly how she would prepare a client with an overactive QL before ever attempting a bridge, and offers a practical checklist anyone can apply in their very next class that includes how to use breath as a preparatory tool, what pelvis position to look for at the top of a bridge, and when a resistance band or block might be the missing piece.Want help with production of your podcast?
