Please let me know if you found this video helpful, so we know if I should keep producing more!

[@themassagedoula]

Where in california are you located? Or are classes only online?

[@MrSamIAm39]

Yes!

[@eng.yousefmohamedali4725]

Yes about si joint

[@KatarinaS.]

Yes, very helpful, please make more like this. Thank you!

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@austinbires6853]

Wow so basically stop doing everything i thought was good for me 😭 wtf 😂lol i feel like I'm learning in circles in life. At least I'm good at bridges.

[@likeretirement3245]

THANK YOU!! I could not figure out why i had discomfort in my right groin, my right glute, & my right low back. Everyday i do yoga ; and almost every workout has a lunge , or figure 4 or a pidgeon pose. I has no idea that i was slowly throwing my SI joint out of whack. It makes total sense!

[@CoreBalance]

Thank you so much for sharing! It's great to hear that the video helped you connect the dots about your discomfort. We're glad to have been of help! 😊

[@Nanacansew]

Me too…. Oh my gosh it has hurt for years, where my life is so small right now, I am hoping this will help.

[@leighhess3774]

Same here! 3 Dr and 2 PT professionals and they want to do fusion surgery. There has to be another option

[@greycoyote7056]

OMG 😢 I do all these bad stretch’s. I’m my own worst enemy

[@Evak007]

Me too

[@keosae2464]

Same here

[@AlexSwan]

Yep welcome to the club

[@rachellegriffitts4569]

It's just that Americans buy into things like "yoga" and then we injured ourselves you know. Like I was doing deep squats thinking it was helping me but I injured my SI joint really bad. Believing I'm on the mend, learning a lot. Just keep learning and teaching others the good exercises we need. I wonder if folks from India or yoga countries have healthy older people, check that out. Or are they crippled? We don't want to be like that.

[@angelalemanrivera3567]

I'm a neuropsychologist and athlete (cyclist plus weights) that have been doing everything that you explained not to do…and mostly those stretches have been recommended by my back doctors. What you explained makes so much sense from a bio-mechanical point that I am going into your program right now! I was in near-perfect shape almost two years ago when I injured my Iliolumbar ligament during a bad very heavy 435-plus pounds deadlift (my fault not the deal lift fault). I have been in crónico pain since 😢. I have read and tried everything and nothing seems to work. For years I talked about the neuropsychology of chronic pain, but being a patient now I can see how it can really mess with our mental health. Thanks for your videos!

[@CoreBalance]

Hi Angel, thank you for sharing your experience! We're glad to have you join our program. We absolutely understand that chronic pain can be mentally challenging, and we're here to support you on your journey to relief and recovery. You're not alone! 😊

[@adityahpatel]

My MASSIVE problem is that every popular video (with over 200K views) on SI joint pain or LBP says something totally conflicting from the other videos. Many of the don'ts you mentioned here are do's recommended by other popular youtubers like yourself and viceversa. This makes it highly confusing, A hotpotch of conflicting suggestions. Is there no science in this? I mean this has turned into an art with no 2 people having same handwriting. Its kinda like: - Eat XYZ - Never eat XYZ - Eat XYZ but on empty stomach - Eat XYZ if you dont have hypothyrodism. - Never eat this if your name starts with "A" - 10 other advises conflicting the other 9. Really need a unifying video that cuts the clutter and help ppl make better and quicker decisions.

[@tombillard5264]

exactly when the "experts" conflict the lay person is left worse than when he started

[@excellent9622]

I just do exercises that don’t cause any pain, and I stop doing exercises that cause a lot of pain.

[@waxonjitehurst]

Every "don't" that you have listed are movements that i have been told to do in yoga, PT, and for basically my whole experience with low back pain. Thus, you could imagine that I was a little bit angry and still in disbelief that maybe, just maybe, you could be right. But hey, I am going to try some of your suggestions and see if they work for me. Since I have lumbar stenosis, i've not really (and neither have my PT's) thought of addressing the SI directly until my acupuncturist did cupping therapy directly over the joint and relieved tension immediately. Thanks for the info mate!

[@CoreBalance]

Hi there, Thank you for your comment. I completely understand your frustration. I appreciate you giving my tips a try, and I truly hope you feel relief and enjoy my suggestions. If you want to dive in deeper, here is the link to my Free Masterclass : www.corebalancetraining.com/masterclass Thank you so much for watching! Best of luck to you.

[@AbaneRahmat]

This quite funny 😊 You will surely get better

[@jatingupta4026]

Hey, did it work? I was also asked to do the figure four stretch and other things ... But didn't feel much pain while doing em but was in seriously bad pain as the day progressed. Did bridges help you buddy?

[@angelacdillon9060]

This video is very helpful. It's not only a good reminder of how to keep the pelvis balanced when we sit, stand and move, it also help me diagnose where my pain is coming from. In addition, it showed me what exercises I am doing that aggravate the problem.

[@CoreBalance]

I'm so glad to hear that! Glad it's been so helpful for you and thank you for sharing! 😊

[@hokutomaster89]

I have been in crippling back pain for the last 5 months. Have been going to doctor, physical therapy, and chiropractor. Was told i have two bulged discs with sciatica, and arthritis in si joint. Dont know who to trust anymore, meds and physical therapy dont seem to help, and doctors and chiro dont seem to truly care. Been dealing with this off and on for close to a decade, this time is the worst possibly. This video is helpful because as explained how doing things one sided, or asymmetrically, can worsen symptoms. I did a few of the stretches and exercises you mentioned not to do last weekend, and it made the pain 100x worse the day after and its still horrible. I will be more mindful of the si joint and stability. Thanks for the knowledge and advice! And good luck to everyone else experiencing pain, the key is to figure out what helps, and what makes it worse!

[@CoreBalance]

[@nagibkanaan2464]

Do do do bridges 200 a day And u will get better I suffered for 10 yrs Also walk 2hrs a day out doors And u will be much better

[@FiatIsDead]

Would treatment/ exercises be different for arthritis in SI joint?

[@oliverluketurner]

Loved it. Ive been doing those excercises you said not to and have suffered.

[@bjb7745]

Very helpful. My doc and PT don't explain all these issues. They just give me exercises for my hip arthritis, but one of them is the bridge so I want to learn more about doing it correctly.

[@MarinaPeebles]

Basically every "don't" that you described here contributed to really painful SI joint pain for me in the past. Thank goodness you're on this Earth 🌍 to teach me how to move healthy! Thank you Ryan for helping me and sooooo many others ❤️

[@robertrogers3812]

Glad to find this. Thank you so much. My issues exactly. What I was doing was making it worse. I'll try this , new to me, routine.

[@newpilgrim]

Same here🤣. When I watched this video, I couldn't believe how wrong I'd been getting it.

[@peterjoachim2865]

Ditto! I've been doing a lot of figure 4 stretches and dead bugs.

[@Kitty-lv7hp]

There is so much confusion within the Physical Therapy world. My PT prescribed the exact exercise/stretch to supposedly help the one-sided low back SI hip pain!🤨

[@ShirleyChang-d9h]

This is good! You explain clearly what many don’t on what Not to do & what to do. I like that!! Thank you!!

[@cindyvan635]

Wow, great info, I was told by Physical therapists to do a few stretches you mentioned. I now see why it was aggravated, thank you🤗

[@dorothybird7134]

Cindy , i noticed this as well … Dr Ryan has told me so much more than I was taught at my physical therapist clinic.

[@tisdaleflannery6125]

These videos are incredibly helpful! Thank you. I complained to my doctor about hip pain (because I thought I felt it in my ileac crest). She had an x-ray done, diagnosed me with anterior spondy and disc degeneration, and sent me to a PT who had me doing strengthening exercises but also stretches. After the first session I told the PT I could tell that the stretches made the pain worse. She told me just to warm up first...so I quit going. This, this is exactly what I need. Thank you!

[@ColbyCadwell]

3 mins in and i have a huge correction. Been dealing with AS and SIJ pain for 20+ years. In my case, i also have a suuuuper tight and weak posterior chain. The “butterfly” stretch on the things to stop doing has brought about the most pain relief lately that ive had in years… again could just be me. Was surprised to find something sooo helpful at the top of the harmful list

[@ColbyCadwell]

I agree with the rest tho. Wish i woulda discovered strengthening my posterior chain earlier tho. Hip thrusters are great!

[@AlexSwan]

Where do you access that free course for the perfect bridge? I can’t find it anywhere on the website.

[@jennifersheets1382]

I'm finding your videos very helpful. I'm an LMT and retired high jumper. I used to train 3 to 4 hours a day. I was so strong that spinal and SI joint dysfunction wasn't even on my radar. My strength also offset my flexibility. Life after high jump lead me down the path to power yoga and low impact exercise to manage all the aches and pain that flooded my body. Fast forward 20 years, now I have joint instability in my SI joint and lumbar spine. I've recognized that that I've much less strength and my glutes don't fire properly and that my illiacus is super tight. I've been embracing ways to battle the gluteal amnesia, release the illiopsoas and build strength beyond that to reintroduce those "other" exercises.

[@MaxJansen-kw6qs]

Do you contribute yoga and low inpact excercise to your instability?

[@dudewhathappenedtomycountr9099]

I was a hardcore athlete as well over the years. I was so convinced that I was keeping myself strong and protecting myself by being so active. Now having to accept that I've caused all these painful issues is a tough pill to swallow. Learning to relax helps. Be kind to yourself.

[@lw7654]

May I ask, how do you release did you release your iliopsoas? I know and have read many ways but so far because I have got lots of muscular issues. I haven’t been able to do that very well. Also releasing the ilium will help. I also have ql issues big time. It’s been quite the learning experience.

[@simonefongkong134]

those are all stretches that should open hips and overall stretching the legs.what are the alternatives?

[@donnagolub3355]

I’ve had a spinal fusion and now SI joint issue so I learned any type of lunge movement, even stagnant causes trouble. I don’t teach yoga anymore because of it. I get a lot of popping, esp on my right. I get back, pelvic and glute pain. The other day I sat crossed legged on my mat and I’m stiff so I don’t do it often. But it really helped my pain. I can’t do any of those pigeon poses either. No deep squats either. My SI issue appeared after l4-5 fusion but only after a ridiculous twisting chiropractic adjustment. I do some isometric pushing out exercises to strengthen my SI. Laying down with one knee bent and pushing that knee into my hand. It helps too. Surprised how much. I used to teach yoga and Pilates and train so I know the anatomy. This is so correct!

[@NuToob]

I believe that some of this information about the SI Joint may be incorrect: 1) The SI joint has been studied under load (cannot remember modality, sorry) and the movements are tiny (~0.2mm), even in people with SIJ pain. Hence the pain doesn't come from excessive movement per se. 2) The clicking, much like clicking in other joints, is probably due to temporary formation and collapse of nitrogen bubbles locally, rather than any physical movement at the joint. (However saying that, I have often wondered about physical movement because sometimes it really feels like a big "clunk" when I lunge deeply with that ipsilateral leg forward.) I'm not an expert however (although I am a doctor, and a SIJ pain sufferer, so am always trying to figure out what's going on with this frustrating condition).

[@angelacdillon9060]

If you are wondering it is true - this guy is for real! I've been struggling with low back pain for over a year. His training has given me hope and relief just after 2 weeks. I look forward to continuing so that my back pain is a thing of the past! I am so grateful for the help and a change it has brought to my life.

[@CoreBalance]

Thank you so much Angela... That means a lot. I am grateful to have you in the program, and proud of you for the progress that you've made! 🙏

[@angiepuelz5834]

I have had a discectomy and recently suffered debilitating back pain, only to find out that I have a reherniation in the same location. I didn’t want to jump into another surgery. I found your core balance training program and I’ve been doing it faithfully. I’ve become aware throughout the day that I am not engaging my core as I should. I have done a lot of physical therapy annd I am finally understanding my body. I also suffer SI joint pain and I feel like a lot of the exercises in the past that I have done exacerbated the problem. Thank you for your dedication!

[@souldoula7436]

As a PTA who has struggle for years with SIJ pain doing all the things such as this, I'm so grateful for your succinct information! Keep it up please 🙏 You know as I do the "pain management" aspects of Healthcare never try to get to the root cause of these issues for people and treat only the sx. Ty!!

[@CoreBalance]

Hi there, Thank you so much for your feedback. It is an honor to be able to help people and provide content. Thank you for your very kind comment!

[@TomGlander]

LOVE the skeleton demos, showing exactly where things are happening. This is great material, don't stop.

[@CoreBalance]

Much appreciated, Tom. I will keep going... thank you for the support and encouragement!

[@seanfaherty]

This guy knows his stuff. Many of the exercises people recommend for back pain make things worse way worse . Listening to experts and Doctors created problems for me. Muscle relaxers and massage would leave me crippled. The thing that made a difference for me was the quote “it’s not stiff, it’s weak” Finally after years of chronic pain things are getting better. - don’t stretch a muscle unless you work it first. -as you fix one sore area another will appear. Seems to be caused from years of imbalance in my case. When I feel a soft tissue pain I look for the muscle , sometimes it’s not the muscle that is sore but the fascia , in that case I just work on every muscle attached to that fascia. I learned a lot about internal hip rotation and hip adductor tears - good times. Anyway my advice is work your glutes, the psoas and hip adductors. When your knees begin to hurt ( the imbalances) you’ll want to work your calves , with both straight and bent knees. Also I learned even though I was putting my hands flat on the floor I was not stretching my hamstrings. It seems I have to bend at the waist, push my hands in front of me whilst sucking in my gut , lifting my pelvic floor. The guy said I was only stretching the tendon . Anyway that made a HUGE difference. Years of squats and not being able to get a deep stretch until I learned that a few months ago. Whew ! Oh , and the pelvic thrusts, I don’t recommend them in public but I do recommend them.

[@debgaudin8862]

Tks

[@CoreBalance]

Hi there, Sean! Thank you so much for watching this video and for your feedback. I hope you are feeling relief! Great comment, and thank you for letting us know what is working best for you.

[@Nanacansew]

I so agree with you. I have been working with PT and it doesn’t help, in fact, it has made it hurt more. I go no where and my life is so limited. I pray this helps. How are you finding the muscle? How did you find someone to help you?

[@4nbop80user]

There is a great vibration plate video, 12 years old, that also recommends the ski position, tucking under the pelvis, pulling up belly button towards the spine, clenching butt muscles. Do all that on a vibration plate. I also make lateral movements, leg shifts. I made clear progress in a just a week. It’s not over yet, but it helped a lot. The big advantage of that is that the patient’s weight or other issues are not of concern with that exercice, vibration, which is rare. I find exercices often do not take into account that one person may weigh double compared to another, which multiplies effort in the presence of sarcopenia. I am happy that your condition is improving and thank you for having taken the time to share the exercice that worked for you ! It gives me hope. I’ve lost 56 kg in the past but long term excessive work (PC) 18/7 made me put on 35 kg which I am now fasting off, keto, replacing fat with muscle. Love my vibration plate…. and I wish you continued success !

[@ChrisS-kx1ub]

Thanks dr Ryan, I did CBT, I honestly loved it, I know you are genuine in everything you do, if I could afford it I would do it for a whole year but I have struggled to balance it all, still active in military, constantly busy, and every time my si joint flairs back up I am back to you because it describes so many of my issues, stress seems to be one of the biggest issues, seems to tighten my psoas/hip flexors etc., then add a few of those asymmetrical things and in a few weeks I’m back to si joints in terrible pain. If I ever get back to myself, I’m gonna send you a gift, PT’s Chiro’s done it all and no one has given me hope like you.

[@XXwhoknowsXX81]

Report all your issues with your primary - document document document.

[@manjuupadhya2962]

Thank you so much, my eyes were tearing as you described exactly what I was going through for a year and half and I couldn’t figure out that whole time what was happening in my right lower back and the glutes. My dr did mentioned about the SI joint pain buti didn’t pay much attention then. Thank you so much❤❤❤ I will follow your advice, stop doing all those yoga poses and strengthen my glutes and core

[@FordiBare]

I am so angry! For 10 years I’ve struggled with this pain, and I’ve pointed directly at my SI joint and described the «locked» feeling, the strong pain, the clicks, and EVERYONE I’ve seen has told me to stretch my hip flexers like number 5 here, even though I’m super flexible and can easily do the splits. I’ve suspected hypermobility and that it affects this exact joint, and somehow they have all just told me to keep stretching. Why is that??

[@CoreBalance]

Hi Marta, I can understand why you feel angry; we empathize with your situation. While we can't speak to why you have been given this information (I'm sure your practitioners meant well), we are relieved that our content has resonated with you so strongly, and we hope that your situation can now improve. 💙

[@TheGarugc]

Since my left psoas always causes problems and my left sciatica, I have been doing all the exercises that you declare to be wrong here for weeks. And I can confirm it. Because now I've also had severe pain in my sacroiliac joint and inflammation for some time. Thank you for this video!

[@CoreBalance]

Hi Mike, glad to hear the video has been helpful! That's good body awareness. It's an important skill to know how to listen to your body and understand what is working and what is causing more discomfort. Thank you for watching!

[@anthonynicholson5523]

I drive all day and have developed flexing exercises for in my vehicle while remaining symmetrical and have vastly improved my si. Lits of glute flexes and pressing my legs outward against the car door and center dash area symmetrically feeling muscles activate and strengthen that i haven't felt in years. P.s. my si started after a fall as a security guard job where i walked all day...i took the driver job to telax and reset my muscle groups just figuring it would help ans then to rebuild them symmetrically and started experimenting with flexes in the car and developed multiple flexes that have given me steong glutes and thigh hip lower back muscles again. This video confirmed i was doing similar things with symmetry and giving the si a break lol. You taught me much more though so thank you!

[@CoreBalanceProgram]

Thank you for watching, Anthony! I am so glad I was able to teach you something new. Thank you for being here.

[@siyasadaf5281]

Same pain am going through stretching makes it worse so I stopped doing any stretching and giving proper rest to my body and observed I have very less pain and it's healing day by day

[@alfaroukyoufi3719]

Im suffering from a chronic back pain since 15 y.o when I decided to squat for the first time and it was the last time as well. I paid thousands of dollars to fix my back pain during this whole 5 years but nothing was done correctly, I can say that the back pain decreased by 30%, but it still exist 24/7,I’m not able to do many sports that I love to do, I’m always careful with it… I have an SI Joint inflammation, Flat lumbar back, Herniated disk, I need something to deal with it, because it causes me seasonal depression when I see myself still young and my health is already gone

[@CoreBalance]

Al Farouk are you aware that we have a program? It is very effective for people in your situation, and you can try it for free. I recommend watching this first www.corebalancetraining.com/masterclass

[@DongoBongKong]

Sorry to hear about your predicament. Don't give up!

[@martyecirioni5361]

Went to back doctors today for help with SI Pain. Hell!!!. Hope to learn even more here. Heat seems to help more than ice at this point.

[@justicevanpool9025]

I find all of the things you said not to do, to actually be very helpful if done in moderation and in concert with bilateral work, with an eye on restoring balance by breaking asymmetric dysfunction and staying active and focused in the stretch. My glutes used to be really tight, and I had considerable sciatica. If i try to stretch both sides or do any work when I'm out of balace, it just reinforces the pattern and pushes my si further into its current painful configuration.

[@CoreBalance]

Thank you for sharing your perspective! It's great that you've found what works best for you. Finding the right balance is key!

[@AlexSwan]

I get the popping and clicking when doing the bridge to strengthen my glutes. What to do?

[@Zathauntie]

You’ve been studying this for the last 20 years? When did you begin? Age 8? And…. Yes… you’ve been incredibly helpful. Thanks😊

[@wisdomweaver777]

This is exactly what I was telling the therapist in Vancouver. Thank you for sharing your knowledge !

[@CoreBalance]

Seems like your intuition was right! You’re very welcome 👍

[@CynVee]

Thank you so much. I have been in so much pain for so long and searching KZbin videos for an answer. I wasn't even sure which joint was causing this pain, let alone why. Twenty years ago, I had intense sciatica and had surgery on L4 and L5, so I knew this wasn't sciatica. I don't feel that popping was the right way to go, so held up and kept searching. I have severe rheumatoid arthritis so I have a lot of joint issues since I was dx'd before biologics. I can't do most of what you describe here but can certainly not do all those things that cause problems and pain. I can also start getting my whole body in better alignment. I just subscribed and just wanted to say thanks!

[@davidrogers9925]

I am constantly struggling with whether to stretch more or just leave it be. This information helped me. I have to learn the bridge exercises!!

[@CoreBalance]

Hi David, Thank you so much for your comment. My program teaches you the most effective way to do the bridge as well as plenty of other moves that we perform over a 3 month course in healing back pain for good. Check out the 7 Day Free Trial here: www.corebalancetraining.com/offers/2fR8V4Ev/checkout

[@zproximo]

Thanks doc...spot on...I have suffered this for almost 5 yrs doctors could not diagnose...but your videos jave helped me self diagnose just 2 days watching your videos...God bless

[@pietrocantuccini5584]

You would have been better off seeing a physiotherapist. The more specific about preceding or any causative activities a sufferer can be, and possibly identifying the names of painful muscles (anatomy illustrations), the more precise and faster they can help.

[@sjrcarson]

Hey! I'm struggling with this exact issue - have been for over a year. Should I avoid clicking/popping my SI joint? I can do this pretty quickly without much stretching/twisting. It offers relief in the moment, but am I potentially causing damage long-term? Thank you!

[@elaineschneider8831]

Yours is one of the best videos I have seen as I search for home therapy to relieve SI pain in my SI joint, hamstrings and knees. You teach what NOT to do (habits I have had for a long time) that I will practice every day until it becomes natural. I learned the best positions to strengthen my SI joint and core while not doing positions and stretches that will do harm. I will follow you. Thanks!

[@rebeccaperkins1534]

You are the best. I remain grateful for all you have taught me, and continue to teach through your online presence.

[@CoreBalance]

Thank you so much Rebecca. You are in my thoughts often. I'm proud and grateful to have you in the CBT community and for your support 🙏

[@kellysdances715]

Hi do u have a website please for help with this pain like one on one please

[@garygesnaldo6246]

Great video. But how do I stretch a super pain fail psos and keep the symmetry I need to fix the right side SI joint issues. Also, my right leg is 1/2 longer than my left. I'm using a belt and heel lift.

[@25718]

I have intuitivly felt that I should stop doing yoga. In the beginning it was immediate painrelief, but now for some reason I can´t stretch, my muscles lock up and it doesn´t feel good anymore. This video explains things I didn´t know, and confirms things I have felt in my body. I just can´t grasp that some of the exercises you mention are the only way I feel I can endure a flare up. But maybe they are making things worse? I just found this channel, and will be watching a lot of the videos. I have hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, quite severe scoliosis, disabling SI-jointpain since I had my first child 32 years ago, and have been depending on wheelchair outside my house since 11 years. I have never given up hope for being strong and healthy, and my goal is I will be stronger at 60 than I was at 40 (am 51 now). I have always thought there´s got to be more to do to release this pain, and never stop searching...

[@CoreBalance]

Thank you for sharing, Sara! It is common that these stretches feel good in the moment but promote the problem in the big picture. I explain this in some of my other videos about stretching. With EDS, you’ll definitely want to focus more on stabilizing, and the bridge (when done right) is a great way to start!

[@DeserttoGarden]

Should we avoid walking if we’re supposed to avoid unilateral movements ?? It’s frustrating Bc I do feel like walking makes whatever lower back/pelvic issues worse due to the constant torque!

[@filukkasunivers2389]

hmmm think i am doing everything im not suposed to do

[@tombillard5264]

its a club and im the president lol

[@pardasintes]

Hello, thanks for your videos, it helped me a lot understanding whats inside my body and how this joint works! I have a weird lumbosacral transition, called Castellvi type 4. It’s very difficult to find information over internet that empower the person to heal using movement and understanding the body, usually they just tell you to take painkillers and other pills. I wish you could make a video about this syndrome and how we should move and train to improve the symptoms of our birth condition. Thank you again!!!

[@anthonyjulianelle6695]

This seems to be for a hypermobile s.i. joint. What if one has a s.i. joint that is tight; not loose?

[@AronsonAmanda]

Ohhhh my goshhhh this is EXACTLY what I have! Thank you for this video. So many questions have been answered for me

[@ginoasci2876]

Excellent video. It’s great to listen to a professional that has experienced the very things he’s explaining. Super helpful, and thank you.

[@cryptochat313]

I sound like Rice Krispies! Snap, crackle POP! I’ve been stretching all wrong! Thank you for sharing this 😊

[@adriennebeam]

Thank you so much for this information. I have been dealing with sacroiliac pain for over 8 months. Your explanations make sense. I've been doing some wrong stretches for a long time. I will work on changing my stretching exercises.

[@MsMindself666]

I'm definitely subscribing and considering your master class. I've had low back and SI Joint pain for 35 years. I know my posture is horrible, my core is weak and my hips tilt so forward i can't sleep on my back. I sit with my legs crossed or on the ground criss cross all the time! I have been my own worst enemy and all my doctors and physical therapist focus on none of these things. Very disappointing. I've been seeking help for so so long and none of it has worked. Definitely going to try these things out.

[@karenlebeter4196]

My SI pain started with a fall onto my right side (hip, shoulders Back). Doc says joint is compressed. I can't take more pain medication, 500mg acetaminophen am & pm., due to heart & arthritis probs.

[@Kim-ek7xy]

Question: If you have calcified SI joints from arthritis vs unstable or mobile SIJ, do these exercises apply? I'm told I have arthritis in my SIJ's, and have constant pain only on the left side. Would the core stabilization course help this? Great videos! I just found your channel and I'm finding them very helpful. Thank you!

[@stefanvukobrat3820]

Hi there, you have a new subscriber! Are there any recommended cardio activities/sports allowed while having SI joint paint or only walking?

[@슝슝-x3e]

But most videos trying to fix SI pain insist to do asymmetrical exercises , like McGill big 3 exercise. Is McGill big 3 not beneficial for SI pain?

[@vitorfernando8085]

Once time, I got this awful pain with a overload deadlift REP. My back got sored instatly, so I waiting for few days to get Nice before back to the trains. So, since then I alive with this cursed pain in the joint hip. I cant do cleans n jerk, neither snatchs. I can do squat with some difficult .. it's a Very frustrating. I'm getting depressed with this. I hope your advices can help me. Thanks Edit: I was doing a kind of things you Said we must to avoid. So I'll reconsiderate my routine to get good back

[@robinkasparian7177]

Hi Dr. Peebles, I don't think I have SI joint pain but I have many other issues like bulging discs, DDD, mild stenosis, and mild facet spondylosis. Though my rotated left hip is what causes most of my pain, so I do isometrics exercises in order to put it back into place. Is there a way to strengthen certain muscles around that area so my hip won't rotate anymore? I went to PT for months but it just keeps rotating.

Hi Robin, Please check out the link below to the Free Masterclass. I feel this could benefit you. www.corebalancetraining.com/masterclass/

[@veranelson9415]

So now I'm confused. Every session of pt, I'm up to,4 now , has me doing the leg over knee and pull it stretch.aaaagggg

[@ThePriceIsRising]

I have always had lower back pain. But recently started getting stabbing pain in my butt. Not IN😂, but at my buttocks, left side. Could it be this….?

[@alljaxedup4114]

Pain?? I have almost no muscles going on on 1 side tight now because of pain. Should I build muscle through pain? Or wait.

[@Omar-ou3dm]

Wow …. Every single one of these exercise iv been doing for years no wonder I hear that clicking !! No wonder I have SI pain 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@raquelhsousa]

Would this condition affect both hips? I have burning pain and soreness on both sides. Also where glute tendons connect to hip bone. Thank you for this video

[@CoreBalance]

Great question! Yes, having SI joint pain/problems on both sides is not uncommon, and are typically a sign of sagittal (front-back) muscle imbalance. The symptoms you describe could be consistent with this.

[@ryan7am]

Thank you very much for this video of what NOT to do. Does running contribute to asymmetrical exercising and should be avoided? I love playing tennis but am hindered when my SI joint flares up either from it or from some of these stretches I have been doing recommended by my PT in the past.

[@SreelalithaSamudrala]

Thank you so much for sharing this video. I was wondering what I should avoid as I was in deep pain and have started doing your 3step stretches which really gave me some pain relief and I continue them. Started watching your video from past two days and this popped when I’m wondering about which exercises to avoid. Thank you so much :)

I have L4-5 - S1 bulging disc. I have 2 neurosurgeons telling me 2 different things but the CT scan report matches up with one of the surgeon. Unfortunately he is nolonger accepting my Insurance. I've been to other neuro and ortho surgeons who are out in left and right field.

[@Vbee3]

I fell forward, landing really hard on my knee, this caused my hip joint to move, i had an xray, and to me, it looks dislocated slightly, but if i already had a problem with my SI joint, (which i think i have, from slipping on the stairs?) would they effect each other, from trying to ease the pain, so not moving correctly? as they both feel so painful now, and its getting worse? Its as if they take turns to which hurts the most? 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@lisaoakes4861]

I have pupe synthesis from my pregnancy with my youngest son. I fell while I was pregnant with him and tore that cartilage and that was 23 years ago and I am just now getting really bad SI joint pain. I played pickleball the other day which exacerbated it. My doctor sent me to physical therapy which did not make it better. I find it funny because that physical therapist had me doing a lot of the exercises that you said not to do in this video. No wonder I didn't get better! I recently started playing pickleball and that's when it really started acting up. First thing in the morning I can barely walk and then after about 15-20 minutes of movement the pain settles down. I did a cold plunge today hoping to reduce some inflammation. Do you have any advice for me?

[@Harshharsh111]

Great work. I’m diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis, I have extreme pain in every joint in my body

[@amineidir5021]

Ankylosis spondylitis

[@empressdiva50]

What is your location please? My baby suffers from SI joint.

[@July02libra]

What if we are given some of these stretches for our pelvic pain? I’m in PFT and they recommend pigeon pose, standing figure 4 stretch on table and laying down supported butterfly stretch to help relax my pelvic floor muscles and tailbone pain

[@LivingMyLyfe]

Thank you for all this helpful information. I’ve been suffering with SI pain just and finally diagnosed with it 2 days ago. I work out a lot about six days a week. I specifically target glutes two days a week at the gym one exercise that I do is the RDL. I put one back leg up on a bench while using the smith machine and go down into a lunge.I know this works with imbalances but is this causing me additional pain?

[@farazchaudry3802]

Can SI joint pain cause groin pain? My lower back hurts but so does my groin.

[@mariamarino138]

I fell from the top of my bathtub about four years ago( fractured my tailbone) and ever since than, I go into spasm if I do any twisting, squatting or bending, it’s ruined my life!😢

[@TheZoelorelei]

I reach here...I'm a massage therapist since 27 year, I dud work on the floor year. So really aggravated a existing muscles imbalance.. horse ridding from 9 to 17 years old, where they teach you to go up always with left feet in the trier, trow the right leg iver the horse, how much that imbalance the posture

[@lyndaschoberth4665]

I find all of your information completely incorrect and just using your own experience to tell people not to do certain exercises especially pigeon is destructive. 👎🏼 most people DONT do pigeon and end up with severe sciatica from years of running and cycling and other sports. Yes bridge is great but don’t shut down other yoga postures that help most people.

[@jyazel]

Would you recommend staying away from golf if you are hyper mobile? What about while wearing an SI belt?

[@robm5882]

My pain is to the left of my sacrum. Almost to the high part of left butt cheek. Also my left outer hip and calf. I guess that’s Sciatica. The small of my back hurts less than those mentioned above. The pain will stop me in my tracks!!

[@Blufella222]

Hello sir. Would you say RDLs (Romanian dead lifts) could be bad for SI joint pains?

[@cyclephiliac3819]

Unfortunately most activities we do are asymmetrical. Walking for instance. Or getting up off the floor. Pretty hard to avoid but I can see where some of the more extreme stretches you showed could be counterproductive.

[@1aliassmith]

Will these activities help people with Hypermobile EDS and SI instability and are they safe for a person with HEDS to do?

[@Sunrise2912]

If I can’t do deep squats, what other pose to replace? I have to do household cores, such as squatting to pick up something.🤔

[@annie_oops]

Is doing the plank as a core exercise a problem if you have SI pain/instability?

[@davidrogers9925]

Amazing information!! All I do stretch and all I have is severe SI pain. I will keep watching and learning!👍

[@CoreBalanceProgram]

Thank you for tuning in, David!

[@stephaniehorgan4051]

In your opinion, would rebounder (small trampoline) exercises to strengthen the core be helpful for people who have episodes of SI joint pain?

[@robertf2691]

Actually the child’s pose helps my pain in my back so I guess I don’t have SI joint pain

[@dtc3130]

Question, what about bike riding??? Is that ok for someone with SI issues???

[@BrassyBrunette]

M supposed to begin PT today for my SI joint pain. I just saw a spine specialist. Had xrays and a MRI that showed nothing relating to my pain. I pointed directly to my left SI joint and told this MD that it hurts. "Right There" He just agreed it was called the SI Joints. I have already been doing the bridge with a band for several wks already. The type of work I do requires alot of bending. I realize I deep squat to try to avoid bending. This is probably contributing to my pain alot. Your videos have been the most helpful yet. I've had this problem for YEARS. And have searched for answers high and low. I've passed a vid to friends to point them in your direction.

[@rafahrihan9447]

مساء الخير تم تشخيص حالتي بالتهاب جراب المفصل الانتكاسي وجعي من اسفل ظهري وجانبي الورك شديد جدا اعلمني الطبيب ان رحلتي ستكون عبارة عن مسكنات وابر كورتيزون بعظم الفخذ هل امكانية التعافي معدومة ؟

[@hubenbu]

I literally prohibited myself from walking long distances for a month or so.

[@johnhodgeman3980]

Do you offer consults? Im interested in a coaching program designed around my individual needs. The fact that you yourself had SI joint pain makes it all the bettet to learn from and confide in someone who understands it. What you say here makes sense but i need more personalizef coaching.

[@vickorano]

Hey so, a lot of those stretches are recommended for sciatica. I have sciatica that can get so bad, after leaning down to pick someone up, I am suddenly stricken with pain that locks me in place (sometimes out in public) and if I don't roll to the floor & do those stretches, I will not be able to move. The problem is that, now I have sacroiliitis. I'm afraid that these two problems will continuously flip-flop if I don't find a way to stabilize both simultaneously. At the same time, I need to strengthen my back muscles, which is kinda hard to do because both issues make it almost impossible to exercise the back. I'll keep researching for a solution... just wanted to express how frustrating these conditions are to have simultaneously.

[@nayarsultana4846]

Thank you very much.I think best lesson to body moving.

[@1L2R]

I found it absolutely informative , I'm 61 and try to stay healthy i do mountain climbers but standing up because they are easier for me i on my own found that raising my knee to high wasn't feeling good so i adjusted , what's your opinion on this , i really get a good abdominal workout in my opinion but I'm interested in your professional opinion Thanks in advance for your response

[@starshine7937]

This had been So helpful thank you. I've had a flare up in my si joint and I dm doing asymmetrical things all the time ! Gonna try this out and see if it helps. Thank you for the video

[@listenup9322]

I really could have used this video 4 months ago. I slipped a disk and hurt my muscles. All do to improper stretching.

[@tooquick6]

Squats/deadlifts never hurt me. What hurts is leg press when all that weight is pushing on it. Kneeling hip flexor stretch is the absolute worst pain.

[@jennyscanland848]

I assume cycling should be avoided until healed . Alternate movement
