lumbar muscles

Spine support tissue

The lumbar muscles are the muscles of the lower back, spanning roughly from the bottom of the ribcage to the pelvis.

They support the spine, enable bending and twisting, and bear much of the body's weight during movement.

I strained my lumbar muscles lifting boxes.

Lower back pain often involves these muscles.
