[@cathimusser4721]

I’ve been suffering with lower back pain on my right side for 3 years and have been to pain specialists, physical therapist and a chiropractor for treatment. None of them diagnosed SI joint pain, but after watching this, I am convinced that is what’s going on. I have been doing a lot of “wrong” exercises. So, I have been doing these exercises for one week and wearing a belt. I have felt better than I have in years already! Thank you so much for your expertise.

Exercise 3: Hip Adduction and Abduction Isometric Strengthening - Lie on back - Tie the SI belt above the knees - Keep knees up and legs down - Put the roller between the legs - Force the knees inward - Hold for 3 seconds - Push the knees outward against the belt - Hold for 3 seconds - Repeat 10 times - 3 sets. Take rest between sets. Exercise 4: Bird Dog - Dog position, knees under hips, hands under shoulders - Brace core - Slowly move the alternate leg and arm out - Don't move your leg move to high, pretend you have a glass of water on back - Hold for 10 seconds - 3 sets of 10 reps - Alternate sides between sets

You are an effective healer combining high intellectual and emotional acuity. Having stretched my injury for years, I adopted your walking recommendation and quickly experienced significant improvement at 65. Your counsel benefits many, especially those lacking access to healthcare. Thank you for explaining the underlying principles. Five years ago, surgery was recommended, but I recognize the propensity for unnecessary procedures and pharmaceuticals in the US medical system, which undermines trust. May you remain free from hostility, danger, and suffering. May all beings, seen and unseen, across all realms, bless you, fostering inner peace and happiness.

[@kaberndt]

Wow! Doing those side lying straight leg raises cured my chronic SI joint pain in 5 minutes. Seriously! Thank you SO MUCH! I am a skier and have constantly suffered from SI joint pain halfway through the ski season. This has been going on for 7 years. It was strange that it always happened halfway through the season when I was at my strongest. I assumed it was being caused by twisting forces that built up during skiing. I've visited physiotherapists, chiropractors, bought an SI support belt, and watched countless KZbin videos. I've been doing all the recommended exercises faithfully with absolutely NO RELIEF. The only thing that helped was my visit to the chiropractor at the end of each ski season. He suggested I do hip flexor stretches and thought it might be caused by too much sitting. So I was sceptical when I came across this video, but I'd never seen anyone suggest the side lying straight leg raises. Despite being fit and strong I could barely do 3 of the side leg raises on the one sore side without cramping up and collapsing. However, I immediately felt some pain relief in my SI joint. I kept working on this for a couple of days and the severe SI Joint pain disappeared. It's been over 2 months with no pain. NONE! I only do the side leg raises every few days now. My amateur theory is that the pain was caused by my core and glute muscles actually being TOO STRONG, pulling my pelvis out of alignment. And for some reason the gluteus medius wasn't firing to correct this. Who knows. Again, many many thanks for putting this video out.

I have been on the search for 7 years and was finally diagnosed with this , however not shown these four simple exercises. Also not told to wear the band all day for 4-6 weeks. So I have still been in pain and now have a bulging disk in the middle of my lower back . So I am going to do what he has said and also speak to my chiro when I see her again as I watched the other video you made too. Glad I came across this , thanks for putting it up .

[@pilatesaura6974]

Hi, thanks for this great post. I am a Pilates Teacher and educator and we do a tremendous amount of side lying work, these exercises are great to strengthen the muscles which help to stabilize the pelvis. My only suggestion is on the bird dog to practice simultaneously sliding out toes and fingers to full extension and return to quadruped (few times) while maintaining proximal stability, then progress to extend limbs and lift and lower, and then to the static hold. Overall, thumbs up, I subscribed and appreciate your simple explanation of the muscle imbalances and how to approach an exercise based protocol to support healing.

I will definitely be trying them to see if it eases the pain even just a little, it has started "Crunching" every time I lay down which is so painful now and was told this is normal and I could be like this for the next 50 years. Genuinely praying this works! Thank you for sharing these exercises and explaining everything more clearly

[@sfgenie]

I am so glad to have come across your videos about SI joint pain. I have been complaining about a 'soreness' and tenderness in the right hip joint area for the past 5 months and had no clue about the SI joint (I also suffer from low back pain from a 20-year injury from doing straight leg deadlifts with improper form). The main thing I contributed to the right hip discomfort was the difficulty I had with clipping out of the pedals of my Peloton (having to jerk my right foot to escape was so challenging) as well as riding my new Peloton bike 6 days a week for the past 4 months. I will be incorporating these exercises into my daily routine and watching out for shearing moves (lunges, cycling, certain yoga poses). I noticed the Theraband one was particularly challenging to the right hip so I suspect that these exercises will help a ton. Thank you!!!

Thanks, really helpful. I had watched the intro into SI isues, also good. I am a competitive cyclist and have been for 20 plus years and from life and bike crashes, carry many issues forward that make an SI injury seemingly impossible to fully recover from. Not to mention, cycling is basically training glutes and quads to be short so SI/sciatic stuff is just something that gets lived with.

Hi Ryanne Nelson! That is such a good question. Therapeutic exercise should never be painful and it should make you feel better after you do it. It may make your muscles sore like if you had sore muscles after a working out or after a long hike. But that muscle soreness is different from joint or nerve pain. Working with your doctor or PT they should be able to help you determine what is appropriate for you at this stage. I hope that helps. Take care.

@Phillip Chang This is a great question! I'm sorry to hear about your SI joint sprain. I am glad you found my SI joint pain video and that it resonated with you. I can't offer individualized diagnosis or treatment recommendations through KZbin comments, but I would say in my practice that we sometimes use pelvic blocks (aka SOT block - SacroOccipital Technique) to help in the adjustment of an SI joint that is unstable but misaligned. The placement of the blocks is very specific to the patient and how they are presenting. You might want to search for a chiropractor that does one of the following chiropractic techniques: SOT, AK (Applied Kinesiology) or pelvic blocking techniques.

@@pamowen3452 I had never heard of the Pelvic Clock. I looked into it (www.pelvicclock.com) and it looks like it a device that helps you train pelvic and spinal motion and range of motion. I just ordered one to give it a try. If I find it amazing I'll share about it in a future video. Thanks for your question.

Outstanding. Thank you 👍🏿

I have had chronically sprained s.i. joints for years; my doctor said it's connected to weak illio-psoas muscles, which I can't seem to get strengthened.

Consider using the hyper extension machine at your gym every time you work out. It works for me.

[@wendyshelswell2756]

I have to say that I am so pleasantly surprised at how well my lower back, hips, calves, jaw & neck now feel just for spending 2 hours with your informative videos... it is in the doing of the exercising... consistently, in the proper way... this helps my muscles heal. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you...SI Belt is next for me... Ive seen many doctors & chiropractors over far too many years now for the same pain that continues to get worse. Thank you for....Showing & Explaining so well... the proper ways of stretching, as to not irate the SI joint along with fantastic empowering stuff for all or us to try at home... I love the use of a ball on the wall or to roll on the wall... this does relieve the pain of hunching over a computer everyday... I had given up until today...... I have been in such pain for over 10 years after I survived being hit sideways, T-boned while on my motorbike and yes, grateful to survive but ya. 10 years of constant pain and today... I know I will be following & applying your guidelines every day to my new work out routine... This does work thank you. I pray to come visit your beautiful City again, If I make it, I WILL BE CALLING YOU. So blessed to find real relief, Gives me hope to walk more then a block without a cane and without pain... What a concept.

Dear Dr I recently started pain on the Et hip down to my knees….I was petrified and ran to see a chiropractor! I ended up spending £200.00 at a back clinic.But being a trained nurse I was not happy was th them.They proposed 6 weeks of massage at £165 .00 a week. I just st knew that was not for me. Watching your videos opened my eyes and gave me hope.Your exercises made me better and I was able to go back to work! A big thank you!!!!!

[@PositiveMotionChiro]

Why this video doesn’t have million views? Best video !! 🎉🎉🎉

[@PositiveMotionChiro]

Thank you so much for watching and commenting. I am glad you found my video helpful.

[@virginiakinzer9461]

Thank you SO much. This was very helpful. For three years I have wrestled with painful lower back pain and hip pain. My excellent insurance coverage provided multiple medical tests and treatments, none of which identified SI joint pain. Connecting with a chiropractor was my last stop (because this therapy was not suggested by any of my physicians). Now maybe I can get back to ballroom dancing and walking!

[@PositiveMotionChiro]

[@tejswichawan9427]

Hello Mam, Hope you feel better after this excercise. Do you suffering RA too?

[@hayleyparker6796]

great delivery and explanations! I will forward to my 25 year old son who has been battling SI joint dysfunction like me(his mom) started having at his age. Went to chiropracters, accupuncture, MRI's etc.... for years and struggled with pain, especially during 3 pregnancies. Started biking in my 40's and doing all the exercises you demonstrated and YES, relief 20 years later! I could go on and on, but won't....Ha. Thank you!

[@glorytoukraine619]

Thank you! Very effective exercises!

[@robertrodriguez8082]

,I’ve been dealing with si instability off and on for years,but In feb 2023 I had a motorcycle incident where I was coming to a stop light and my front tire locked up on the wet pavement, as I was going down I put my leg out to avoid the crash, which resulted in saving my Harley and not crashing but at the expense of my fibula being broken torn miniscus, torn labrum and pulled hamstring . Healed for three months and I’ve been going to PT for a month and a half now and wondered why I had plateaud then looking at your videos once again I remembered about my SI joint instability and your excercises was the piece to the pain puzzle I hadn’t been able to figure out. Thank you so much for this and previous years of these videos.

[@jackmcmahon9334]

Great video. I’ve been suffering SI joint pain for over 2 months, have seen 2 docs, and no one has explained this issue better, or prescribed what are obviously going to be very helpful exercises. Thank you. Nicely done!
