You see, the QL muscle points out into different directions. If you stretch in only one direction, you may be missing the right angle that will help you fully release the QL muscle. Try this quadratus lumborum stretching exercise at work in between your breaks. If you have any muscle knots or trigger points, always make sure you address them through self myofascial treatments before beginning a ql stretch.
