Location acupuncture point Ex R2
Location:
The searched zone is located between the upper iliac crest and the lower costal arch. This area corresponds to the waist. There we try to relax an important stabilization muscle of the body by pressure, which comes somewhat from the side, in the depth of the body. This muscle is the so-called M. Quadratus lumborum, which is located under the muscles of the back extensors in the depth of the body.
Extra Point Back 4
The name quadratus lumborum already indicates its shape, which is square and covers the area of the lower back from the upper iliac crest to the ribs. This muscle has the task of stabilizing the spine in its erection and is not infrequently tense due to this important task. Often one side is more tense than the other.
Especially with this exercise it happens very often that one side is more painful than the other.
