Stretch & Soothe: External Oblique Pain Stretches

Are you experiencing pain on the side of your abdomen? Is that external oblique muscle causing trouble for you? Fear not! Each person’s body is unique, and it is common to experience muscle tension or pain. In this write-up, we will discuss some effective stretches that can help ease external oblique discomfort.

Understanding the External Obliques

The body has two sets of oblique muscles – internal and external. The external obliques are a pair of broad flat muscles located on each side of the trunk region connecting along the lower eight ribs to back via fascia.

Their primary function is in rotation when one contracts while its opposite relaxes; if both contract together, they produce flexion or lateral bending from side-to-side movements (which feels like an extended twist).

Because these muscles are so essential for mobility, exercising them frequently can prevent painful conditions (like screaming-ouch-obliques).
