[@JerryHeschInstitute]

Thank you Nick. Somewhere in the early 90's I started to do whole body evaluation of all the major joints looking for blocked accessory motions. I would document and then start by treating by treating the lowest denominator. Arbitrary example: blocked transverse plane mobility of the calcaneus. Restore it and found that for many the atlas would no longer be counter rotated. learned that lower body typically has compensation in atlantoaxial but interestingly, the sacrum when rotated (or whole pelvis and soft tissue giving that impression) the counter-rotation is at T3-4 and 4th ribs. I blame the righting reflex.

And when you mentioned hyper-mobility it does make a lot of sense in my case, particularly on my left side I’m especially flexible with my joints and that is the side my Sacroiliac has been hurting.

[@lgude]

Beginning to realise only recently that my painful lower back was probably More to do with the SI ligaments rather than a muscle problem. I now appreciate much better how complex this area of the body is and that it may be possible to actually heal ligament problems. Your discussion of sometimes treating the opposite side of a problem involving the nerves struck me as something we at times vaguely sense without knowing consciously what is happening. Your professional openness to experimentation is a breath of fresh air in an atmosphere of protocol driven medicine that tends to operate on the basis that the cure is known in advance.

Well stated everyone well nearly everyone who walks in the door have weakness in spite of lots of spinal stabilization exercises why? Because they have neurologic inhibition not “weakness”. But clinicians with short attention spans cannot invest the two minutes it takes to resolve it

It offered immediate relief so I thought I would investigate online and discovered your fantastic work. I performed the maneouver on the side of my dropped hip (identified by observing the height of each iliac crest whilst standing) I have had long term lumbar problems on that side. I have also noticed asymmetry in the sensation of my sit bones whilst sitting, I feel the sit bone on the hip hiked side and not the hip dropped side but this can be rectified with motion akin to the maneouver you demonstate.

Thank you for sharing your story, and the very important, valuable aspects of pelvic correction. I have worked with many wonderful people since a pelvic injury 1998, but no one has known how to help me correct the chronic instability. You mentioned your own ‘hyper sympathetic’ issues after your injury. Yes, I am diagnosed with dysautonomia , and have always thought this is related to the pelvic instability. There is a very important book, Chiropractic : The Anatomy and Physiology of SacroOccipital Technique by Jonathan Howat, DC, DICS. They understand the interrelationships of the function of the musculoskeletal and central nervous systems, but sadly do not know how to correct the pelvis. What a journey. Next stop for me : Aurora, Colorado. God Bless.

[@JerryHeschInstitute]

Thank you for the book recommendation. Most cases of pelvic instability can be healed with appropriate care. I start at the pubic joint because if it is shifted then so is the sij. I just saw your post today KZbin does not always inform me. Best way to reach me is email [e-mail] website is www.heschinstitute.com Thank you for the kind words. I had an unstable pubic and sij then discovered a new pattern I named oblique downslip (see youtube) and fixed it.

Hansasuta, Tubbs, Oakes ( neurosurgical team at Univ. Of Alabama) published years ago - 3 out of 27 normal cadavers had off midline fusion. Wonder if this puts a torque in the whole neural tube - up to lower brain ? Wonder if off midline fusion is related to an incomplete rotation/ malattachment of the gut in early fetal development ?

I broke my collarbone over almost a year ago and I went from a very active lifestyle to very sedentary everyday for a couple of months. On the first day of the injury back pain started developing, I could feel something was off balance. It got to the point months later sharp pain ran down my leg. I've tried nearly everything and it's only helped a little to improve myself. But it's not going away, I want my old me to return. I will try the exercise, whatever it takes to fix myself back to 100%. I also had posture scoliosis beforehand but I was fixing it before the bone fracture. There was no back pain/hip issues whatsoever before.

If you've found yourself here due to low back, hip pain, SI joint, or even partly thoracic pain (regardless of pelvic tilt, etc), you may want to look into femoroacetabular impingement/labral tear combination.. or even better, see a well-versed orthopedic doctor. I was in chronic pain for about two years and found myself looking at all sorts of possible causes, including these videos. I was later found to have a cam/pincer combination impingement on my right hip. I had surgery 2 months ago and I'm not 100% yet, but a lot better so far. Recovery takes 4-6 months, roughly. Hip impingement is something fairly common in the human population, and something that many PTs/ non-specialist doctors may not consider. It also is associated with arthritis. Good luck!

I very much appreciate this information, it is not the standard sacroiliac joint information given in most the KZbin videos. My right hip is hypermobile and for the last two years I have been experiencing piriformis syndrome, trochanteric bursitis, and pain in the upper right calve and right toes. In addition, a PT examination found my left quad was tight (pulling my left hip anteriorly) and my right hamstring was tight (pulling my right hip posteriorly). After two years of trying various exercises and stretches (which seemed to only make things worse), I tried an SI belt and IMMEDIATELY felt relief. The belt also immediately made walking and bending feel much more stable and with less pain. I plan on wearing the belt for about 2 weeks to a month to help my ligaments rebuild, while gradually addressing the muscle length/strength imbalances. With that said I have two questions....1) Can you explain exactly what movement/exercise specifically I would do on the left hip ( the less mobile hip) to help the tissues on my right hip? 2). Would the movement (which you demonstrated) where take the left leg into abduction/external rotation be appropriate for me as it looks like that movement helps lengthen the right hamstring while at the same time help lengthen the left quad? Once again...excellent job on the video!

I tried bending forward move once and I was already shaking in 1 minute, so I have to work for 5 mins.

[@ScottoGrotto]

Thanks so much for sharing so graciously! Look forward to watching more of your videos! Your insights into inhibited muscles and how that can affect hyper mobility which would apparently be a ligament issue otherwise was profound for me. I tried this out on my left thumb injured 15 years ago blocking a volleyball that was being not just hit, but pushed through 2x same person within 10 minutes. This thumb had to be taped to play thereafter, and because of the increased posterior laxity it was prone to mild sprains. So it’s been a little better with self deep tissue massage, but not quite normal or as strong as the right. Just tried the technique working the right thumb in posterior deflection then pushing back 15x. Seemed better on the left- less movement posterior. Then tried a similar rearward deflection with the thumb midway from an outstretch to the index where it still felt excess mobility. Did this on the right 15x 2x. Checked the left and another improvement! Then did a kind of thumb radial rom from index pressing back to outstretched then flexing back in Right 15x2x, and the left feels so much more normal. So maybe the injury inhibited muscles that create stability vs what I imagined may have been a tear. Wow! Amazing! I’ll repeat this more! Doing MT for years, I’ve seen sacral/hip issues. I’ve got a couple people with some chronic /reoccurring SIJ locking. I’d be curious to know more about helping to solve these patterns to not just help temporarily but encourage longer term function.

Dr. Hesch, very informative video. In your experience, have you ever heard of SI joint pain causing radiating/shooting pain down the right thigh? Almost every time my wife has excruciating shooting pain down her right thigh, one of her SI joints has been stuck (most commonly one side is stuck anteriorly and requires a Chicago Roll posterior adjustment which produces an audible clunk and her shooting pain doesn't occur again. She's been dealing with this pain for almost 2 years and as of yesterday received her first right SI joint steroid injection to see if this helps. She also looks to have a misaligned pubic bone with her right side being more prominent but unsure if this is due to her hip replacement. We've seen 16 doctors over the last 2 years and still no solid answer to what happened to start this issue and what is actually causing it. The pubic bone misalignment is very intriguing as that is a similarity with her but unsure if it has always been the case or happened 2 years ago through weight lifting... She had her total hip replacement at age 15, after normal recovery, she never had these pain patterns, was able to run, jump, bike, etc. Hip replacement has been evaluated by 3 orthos and they all agree it looks great...actually better than they expected 10 years later. My wife can go days with walking and have no pain but suddenly one of her SI joints will get stuck and cause the pain pattern. She can do the same leg workout 2-3 times and have no issues, but then on the 4th time, she has pain. It is such an interesting, frustrating case that has stumped so many physicians. Hoping you could help!!

Incarnate Yoga Dear Hanna! I’ve had this my whole life and have never met another person with this issue! Do you ever suffer from muscular lock up? Where your muscles of your posterior glutes and other muscles go into lock up/ almost tetany? The only relief I have found is extreme force to the muscles to release the tension! I’d like to have detailed discussion with anyone who’s suffered from this! Thanks much!

Sheila Smith Do you take magnesium? I also massage with a shiatsu massager 1 hr per day

[@Hannahlivve]

@@ambert2965 yes I've recently discovered transdermal magnesium patches! They help me with anxiety and to relax, possibly minorly helping with pain. Chiro and massage helps the most, but I am trying physical therapy with a therapist who specializes in hypermobility in all joints so well see how much that helps as well!

[@Hannahlivve]

@@ambert2965 I also take omega 3, zinc, vit C, 1500 mg CBD, vitamin b12, chlorella, collagen, supplements daily! And noticed the keto diet as well as a gluten-free, low sugar, (mostly) dairy free, vegetarian diet helps to manage pain! I see a chiro every 3 weeks and aim to get a massage at least 1-3x a month also and PT 1-3x a week, as well as inversion therapy daily for 10-20 minutes. Cryotherapy 1-3x a month and lay in a Deprivation Salt Pod 1x a month for 90 mins. I take turmeric and ibuprofen occasionally when the pain is pretty bad and a muscle relaxer here and there when it is unmanageable. I used to take the muscle relaxers every day 3x a day and ibuprofen daily as well but I'm trying to stay away from pharmaceuticals as much as I can to get my liver a break and get to the root of the problem which is sacrum instability and hip instability along with of course the other joints instabilities but training all together is more difficult when your nerves have been compressed and are not functioning properly to activate the muscles that need to be activating!

PRP will not increase tensile strength, nor will it bring together damaged tissue for repair. I see value in PRP for some (minimal) uses, but unfortunately not for much of what it's being used for.

Maybe nobody will see this but I don't know how to stop muscle guarding around my SI joint. It aches when I sit on one side and when I sleep on my left side, but most of the discomfort and pain I feel is because the muscles get very tight when I'm standing leading me to have to do these painful stretches. It resolves spontaneously after 4 years and now it's back on the other side

I have a plate with 9 screws holding my ishium together. It was broken so bad that the plate cannot be removed. My femur was completely jammed up into my pelvis and sacrum. After 3 years I got a new left hip, there was absolutely no fluid (bone on bone) It is 10 years later and my right hip is starting to act like my left. My SI joints are a mess!! If you touch that area in my back I jump..Did I say it was fractured too along with L 3,4,5 S1. I tell the therapists the exercises they are going to have me do. I do quite a few at home on my own.

@Cathy - I had a lot of experience with SI belts. They irritated my SI joints - could not wear them. But, maybe different pelvis issues are okay with belts ?

gently, very gently and evaluate and treat the whole body. yesterday treated a woman with very simple anterior ilium resolved in one visit after 3 years of chiroprctic. She did not know her rigt lower fibula stuck forward and left heel lacked rotation and eversion so I treated those because they are interconnected and this removed inhibition "weakness" of her ankle muscles. pelvis has similar nerve supply so treating the lower extremities very relevant, also treat BOTH sides, even if no pain. GREAT QUESTION!!!! maybe you can share on the EDS facebook group? If they hear from you it will be better received than from me. Its due to human nature.

While i pull of push something from my left hand i feel something got disturbed inside and it gives pain in front and lower back. While brisk walking, i feel same pain... Like something inside pulled or got disturbed at the left side of back / in front. Also while walking passes over uneven surface, it gives pain in lower back and in front side as it feels.
