The Iliocostalis Lumborum is a muscle located in the lower back, part of the larger group known as the erector spinae. It plays a crucial role in maintaining posture and supporting the spine during movement. This muscle helps with lateral flexion and extension of the lumbar region, allowing for bending and twisting motions. Originating from the iliac crest and the lower vertebrae, the Iliocostalis Lumborum inserts into the lower ribs. It is essential for activities that involve lifting or bending, contributing to overall back strength and stability. Proper function of this muscle is important for preventing lower back pain and injuries.
