Following a blow to the back (such as a knee in the lumbar spine in footballers), this muscle can become tight and bound up within its fascia.

Iliocostalis muscle, any of the deep muscles of the back that, as part of the erector spinae (sacrospinalis) muscle group, aid in extension (bending backward), lateral flexion (bending to the side), and rotation of the spinal column.

The erector spinae muscles, including longissimus, are the most powerful extensors of the vertebral column. Hence their main actions include spine extension and lateral flexion. Longissimus capitis also rotates the head.

Extends from the external occipital protuberance on the skull and median nuchal line, to the spinous process of C7.
