[@tedantares2751]

If you decided to provide instructions, be precise and make sure there are no ambiguities. When talking about suitcase carry, single-leg deadlift and single-leg bridge you are not mentioning the side relative to the side where the pain is (it is usually single-sided). So, these instructions are useless

[@aliensoup2420]

I’ve had this for 30 years. I get the most relief from walking, hiking, and stretching. It usually flares-up when I take too much time away from regular exercise.

As a long time sufferer of SI pain and PT myself, this is spot on. My pain was due to contact sports and poor lifting technique in my early years. Reeducating myself with many of the exercises included in this video helped tremendously, along with some chiropractic adjustments. Strengthening glutes and the core muscles, and actually feeling them engaged while performing exercises and during sport made all the difference. It just takes consistency, this isn't something you 'try and see if it works' -- it will work when you put in the work regularly.

[@supersteelers84]

This is what I needed to hear. At first I thought I just had tight glutes but then it just kept getting worse. I started rehab and didn’t see results quick. Now that I’m more consistent then I’m am able to see the pain slowly decrease.

[@VintageAthletic]

@@supersteelers84 look into iliolumbar ligament. It’s commonly injured with repeated rotation under load or high velocity. I think this has been the source of my SI pain. Exercises to stabilize the pelvis has helped a lot. Focus on keeping a connection with glutes with all exercises and day to day activities.

did chiropractor help / work?

[@marioforsythe2656]

​@b1ks3r I'm 27 and just lived with it for 3 years causing me grief every single day. First adjustment was finally able to move but it continues to flare up. I have noticed regular excerise keeps the pain away

[@hyvakoira]

In my case, pain mostly comes from standing still for an extended period of time while walking is the best relief. So glad to find out exercise is allowed.

[@sheetalrathi6426]

mine comes from sitting for too long and bending too much forwards😢

[@Louise-lg3wt]

Sooo helpful!!! I’m 76 and have pain in the sacroiliac and hip areas as well as right knee arthritis. The modifications you illustrated were particularly useful. Glad I found your channel.

[@Username_copied3]

I have similar problems, which of these helped you without further injuries ?

[@limanino]

From what I've noticed myself, cramps from periods triggers this pain, but the real problem comes from sedentarism. Strenghtening gluteos by hiking mountains and doing squats solves it.

[@mistakench7312]

i had this kind of syptoms for 2 weeks already, im a type of runner weekly workout, im gratefull this health education popup in my youtube recommendation, thank you very much

[@MountainRaven1960]

Had SI joint pain for 6 years, left hip bursitis, and incredible muscle aches as well. Nothing helped to relieve it. After closely monitoring the issues, when they started, and eliminating various other things, eventually the evidence pointed to statin use. I was right! Turned out it was caused by the bloody statin I was taking. Stopped taking the statin (which caused other issues too) and the pain was gone completely after 48 hours! Now being statin free for months, these issues have not returned.

[@beckyearls2540]

It is completely malpractice that Cardiologist do not tell patients that statins commonly cause very bad body aches and pain! And like you said many other common terrible side effects. I cut mine half and it pretty much took everything away. I am considering stopping at all together. There's a lot of controversy on whether they actually help with heart attacks anyway.

[@pepefabregat6370]

Es el mejor vídeo que he visto sobre el dolor sacroiliaco o lumbar, y he visto muchísimos. Enhorabuena y muchas gracias!

[@fluffyyellowcat]

Thank you for this information! I've had SI joint pain for years and have tried everything to relieve the pain, but have only had short term results for expensive treatments. I'm hoping this new information will be the key for me :)

[@zemphir1008]

Your videos are incredibly clear and easy to watch/understand. Thank you for using suggestions based on actual research!! Anyone who can't get access to a PT can easily use these videos for realistic homecare.

[@jcanela4731]

Thanks for this video. It reaffirms the type of movement that feels right in my body. I’ve had SI joint issues for 10 years. Walking helps but for me, walking BACKWARDS slowly sometimes helps realign my hips. Im finding that exercises that involve upper and lower body engagement or negotiation ( back extensions, deadlifts, pushups on my knees, modifed mountain climbers, wall pilates) help activate the rights muscles. Also, Pliates side lying ( oblique and hip work) series help me. Howver, what seems to be key for me is breathing and being in tune to holding tension in the core/diaphragm. it gets worse if im stressed. So MELT (nuero integration, alignment and rebalancing), qi gong ( sorry if i misspell), breath work is also part of my routine. Just laying on your back with legs propped up on a chair or ottoman while focusing on releasing any tension and breathing into your back helps to relieve pain and avoid holding tension.

[@kasch4292]

Man, I wish I had found this earlier. It took me 1,5 years to discover any exercises that would help me - your video names them all and more! Thanks so much … and Peace ✌️

[@intensity.density2208]

Here's what helped me get over this. 1. Pelvic tilting exercises. I do this hanging by dropping one side, and switching between the two sides. Also forward hip thrusts. 2. Consistently stretching and releasing hip flexors. 3. Strengthening the glute muscles and the lower back muscles. 4. Stopped placing my wallet in my back pocket while driving or sitting.

[@daniellarincon6252]

Can you please talk with me. I dont understand what Is the first point exercise.

[@overshare7]

At my level of training in osteopathic care, I’d say that actually feeling any movement in a joint as congruent as the SI joint is nearly impossible-I’ve never experienced it myself. That said, moving the joint is definitely achievable, and patients who have had a good manipulation often report feeling it. My point is: I don’t believe it’s possible to truly reposition the joint, but you can certainly create movement, and sometimes that’s enough to relieve symptoms.

[@artsyladie7]

This video is very clear and well done. I have watched many others for sciatica but this seems to cover it all with simplicity. Thanks very much.

[@tedantares2751]

Except at 6:31 he does not say in which hand you should carry weight - on the side where the pain is or on the opposite side. The same is with single-leg deadlift and single-leg bridge

[@amaranthinedolour8292]

Feeling called out watching this video while having EDS so can try to relieve my SI pain. That moment when I havent been working out enough and go to lift a heavy box and can literally feel things seperate. I find my core strength really effects my SI and lumbar pain areas.

[@ricardosaosimao5970]

One of the best videos explaining SI and core rehab. Start lightly and persist. At 46 i'm an ortho surg that surf and lift. After a full stack adductor chair rep o felt a stab at my back. After full rehab, i'm back on track

[@fimenduro]

Even though the si joint moves in mm, the differance at the fingertips is in cm, with my diagnose - imbalance in core muscles was the culprit. Weak (thight) glute medius and illiopsas ment my left si joint jammed.

Walking and standing is the worst for me. My pelvic tilt puts so much pressure on my si joint and lower back muscles. Been working on it for almost a year now and had to re-educate myself on every movement and exercise. Uugghh it’s tough.

[@BrandyWiseNL]

Try Dr. Rowe exercises. He has playlists for glutes, hip, lower back, SI and more. Helped me a lot. 😊

[@magpiegirl3783]

Thanks for this info and the exercise examples. I had a heavy fall onto a tiled concrete floor and landed right on my left hip joint. No broken bones despite being osteoporotic. However, the SI joints probably took a beating with the impact. I'm taking exercise really slowly and am doing the bridge and RDLs which both seem to help. I'll add the glute squeeze for now and do more sit-to-stands before tackling the step downs. I want to be able to get back to doing the deadlift but have to take it slowly. My physio did some mobilisation work on the joint and that was very successful but only for a few days. I also use a tens device which gives relief and the old ice/heat pack.

Fantastic. The amount of information in such a short video is astounding. It describes pretty much the area where my pain is.

Gonna try some of you PT exercises they thought it was my lower back but I tried to tell them it’s on the right side almost in buttocks area.

[@moistmeat69]

I had pain for YEARS and had atleast a dozen doctor appointments for it. I always told them it's not really my back more so my butt on the right side. They even did x rays but pretty much never gave me an answer or helped me. They told me to take ibuprofen when it hurts and to not do movements that aggravate it. This just made it worse and made me stiffer. Finally I saw a chiropractor and the combination of adjustments, stretching, and hip thrusts took the pain away. Long story short doctors can be useless sometimes lol

[@irshikha]

Omg.... Same here. I guess, the right side is dominant, so lifting something or being more inclined towards the right side may have caused it. I've had this for a month now and it gets worse when I lie down. Walking feels good and standing up too, but lying down and changing position is terrible. I've never had such an irritating issue. I'm trying not to visit doctor after watching all these videos and seeing comments underneath. Hope something brings permanent relief.

[@dondouglas3431]

Agree that rotation of the normal SI can't be felt or observed by naked eye. However, abnormal hemipelvis rotation from a fall,seat belt forces from a car accident and pregnancy etc.can definitely be seen by the naked eye using palpation of the ASIS and PSIS to determine anterior or posterior rotation of the painful side. Use of specific isometric exercise to return the painful rotated hemipelvis/SI to level position relative to the opposite side often works for pain relief .One can see this change with post treatment palpation of the ASIS/PSIS. I agree with the need to exercises you gave as examples to strengthen hip,SI and low back.

I think the cause of my pain is from 10 years of pole vault with bad technique I couldn't brake. Ever since I was forced to retire in 2017 (separate injury) I would get spasms here and there, but was fine for the most part until I started disc golfing 2 years ago. I had to do full warm up and cool downs and started taking up yoga because being flexible helped a ton, but I wasn't consistent if my back felt "good." I was competing locally for a while until my last tournament in June where everything changed and have been in constant pain ever since and haven't been able to go out because of how constant it is. Had ex-rays done and the PT says that exercises are pretty much the only solution. Hopefully I can get back out again.

What inflames my SI joint (or what feels to be the SI joint) most are those side planks and farmer carries. Also, raising my left leg while standing (or sometimes seated) tends to cause a slight tinge of pain or burning sensation. This condition doesn't really like those bridges of bird dogs either.

The physio did some checks as i was worried the new pain on the right side was related to my existing spinal issues... he checked my hip, did some stretches that ruled out sciatica on that side, and then poked my SI joint and i said ouch.. so declared it was my SI joint, likely related to my gait/hypermobility, and told me nothing to be done... helpful.

I think of one the challenges with paradigm shift away from biomechanical / anatomical model is that PTs feel as if they don't have professional insight to provide, since we can simply provide any and all exercises near the region. Yes, you could argue that it still requires knowledge and skillset to apply, but it's hard to argue that the shift away from thinking "I can fix this specific area and issue" to "i'm working as a smart personal trainer" is the challenging part.

The “find it fix it approach” is something all of orthopedic medicine should be questioning.. Pain is complex and not so easily explained as attributing it to tissue “abnormalities.” Research being conducted is demonstrating how these are common in asymptomatic individuals and how some “fixes” such as certain surgeries, manual therapies, exercise are comparable to placebo.

@@nriv9338 I am well aware of the shifting paradigm! We are clearly still in the midst of identifying the weight of all the variables related to pain and /or dysfunction, I am trying to bring to table some of the friction of shift to the paradigm.

@@enfltkfkd01 Yes of course. I just have seen the sentiment that PTs no longer have the same value with this shift, which I disagree with. It’s just a different role than we once learned.

As a PT student that originally wanted to be a personal trainer I had made peace with that from the start. In my opinion physiotherapists are personal trainers educated on the root of different pathologies that can create a "workout plan" to both help heal and work around said pathology. We call it treatment because we can start the process even in acute phases and have many different tools. Machines such as TECCAR and electrotherapy are not monotherapies and can be used to prime the area for training or address acute symptoms. Manipulation and mobilization techniques while sounding cavalier are not the ultimate techniques as many like to believe but can also be used alongside an exercise plan. Hell I'm even learning some chiro adjustments while fully knowing that I'm not really orientating out-of-line joints. It's just short term relief and ROM that can then be strengthened with less pain.

Should i do these exercises while in pain? Or wait until pain is completely gone before making it worse?

[@tanasi811]

Speaking from years of experience you should definitely do them all, the more you stretch it the more relief you get
