Still "Chasing Pain" in the low back?

If you’ve ever thought:

– “I can feel something near the QL, but I’m not sure if I’m really on it.”

– “I treat their low back, they feel better… and then the pain comes back.”

– “I can’t always tell if it’s disc, joint, QL, or something else.”

– “I was never really taught how to assess the QL properly in school.”

…then this Masterclass was built for you.

Most training barely touches the QL. We dedicate an entire Masterclass to it.

Walk Away With a Clear Plan for Every QL Client

By the end of this Masterclass, you will:

  • Confidently locate and palpate the QL (and not just guess in the general area).

  • Learn a range of modalities to treat the QL - including, Myofascial release, positional release, IASTM, plus more.

  • Clearly differentiate myofascial QL pain from discogenic and neural pain.

  • Recognize red flags and referral patterns so you know exactly when not to treat and when to refer out.

  • Apply 7+ QL treatment techniques safely and effectively.

  • Integrate breathing, stability, and rehab drills to make your results stick.

  • Use a structured subjective and objective assessment to know what you’re dealing with.

This isn’t a random collection of techniques. It’s a complete system for dealing with QL-driven lower back pain.
