Muscles in the lumbar spine become tight and people often refer to them as “knots”. These knots are actually called “trigger points”. Trigger points usually follow a pattern and can be very painful in their active state. Muscles that can be affected in this region include:
- Quadratus Lumborum
- Lumbar Erector Muscle
- Lower Latissimus Muscle
- Gluteus Maximus/Medius/Minimus
- Piriformis
