Quadratus Femoris Release

Описание: Ashwin Datt demonstrates a highly effective quadratus femoris release and explains its important role in treating low back pain.

Ashwin emphasizes that back pain is rarely just a lumbar issue—it’s often a lumbo-pelvic-hip dysfunction. When hip mobility is limited, especially due to restrictions in deep stabilizers like the quadratus femoris, the femoral head is driven into the acetabulum. This limits hip motion and forces the lumbar spine and SI joint to compensate, frequently leading to pain and hypermobility.

In this video, you’ll learn:
→ Why hip mobility is critical when treating low back pain
→ The role of the quadratus femoris in femoral head stabilization
→ How restrictions in this muscle can overload the lumbar spine and SI joint
→ Precise palpation of the quadratus femoris and its fascial attachments
→ A hands-on myofascial release technique, including elbow and hand options
→ Clinical tips for therapist positioning and leverage

This demonstration highlights how addressing deep hip structures can significantly reduce stress on the spine and improve patient outcomes—especially in cases of persistent or recurring back pain.

If you’d like to expand your hands-on skill set for treating complex extremity-driven pain patterns, this technique and many others are taught in depth in our Advanced Manual Therapy Techniques for the Extremities course.
