The quadratus lumborum (QL) is a deep muscle in the lower back that helps stabilize the spine and pelvis. When one side is weaker or tighter than the other, it can cause uneven hips, leading to a tilted pelvis and postural imbalances. Activating the QL on the weaker side can help correct this imbalance. Simple exercises like side planks, QL stretches with side bends, and single-leg bridges engage the muscle and improve stability. Over time, strengthening and balancing the QL helps level the hips
