THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO. I was literally screaming YES! Everytime you said anything. I've been going to massage, chiropractor, acupuncture, and physical therapy and nothing is helping me. I was so confused like what more can I do??? Thank you thank you thank you!!! I am so grateful for you taking the time for this and explaining so well!
Hi! also here is what saved me, I suffered with sciatica for 3 years, and I had tried everything, ( i am 58 yrs old) it would literally take me 15 minutes to figure out how to get out of bed! it was so painful! ...So my daughter came home from college and i asked her to put the memory foam mattress she used at college on my bed and this is going to sound nuts but after just napping on it once i could tell i felt a little better! and then going forward each time i slept on it, it got easier to get out of bed and after 2 weeks my sciatica was basically gone! I have not been back to the Dr. to get any more cortisone shots since! And I am not selling a product because as you can see, i have not named the product other than that it was memory foam. So sometimes it can be as dumb as changing a little something in your life like this pad! also i had a meniscus problem in my knee because i had been compensating with my knees to bend to pick things up. ....On another day i was telling a friend about my past back problems and how the pad fixed me and she asked if i wear flip flops, and i said yes! i live in them in the summer! and a light bulb went off in my head because it suddenly occured to me that every time i started wearing flip flops my back would start to feel bad, ....so then....because our phones are listening, i get and add for these flip flops with and arch support which of course i then ordered!... and this is equally nuts but i had a bump by my knee almost the size of a half walnut, and this is no joke, after 24 hours the pain was gone and 72 hours the bump was gone! And my son said to me, mom if i did not see that with my own eyes i would not believe you! But the bump was there for 3 months and he saw it go away in 3 days! and i had been seeing a doctor for it and nothing was working! ...except those flip flops! so try simple changes like these too!!! It made all the difference for me!
I am crying bc for the first time in years someone has finally said what I needed to hear. I’ve been living with chronic pain for years and all the drs just pass me along bc I’m young
It sounds like you have been through a lot Alyssa Rauchbauer. Thank you for sharing your experience. I hope you get back to feeling 100% soon. Hang in there!
Same!! I also have a lumbar herniated disc so everyone has assumed that is what my pain was from. I am just figuring out I have SI joint issues after 12 years of pain. 😢
I had it first at 28 yrs old. Never had it again with the use of Pilates and good physiotherapist until I got sloppy at 47. Fixing it is life changing 😊
No joke....I've had this for 40 years, been to numerous doctors had innumerable procedures and tests, and recently stopped the pain pill roller-coaster after 14 years. You are the absolute 1st and only doctor who has explained this. Unbelievable. You answered every single question ive been trying to get answered for a very long time.Thank you so much!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! My wife had been fighting with this pain for about a year. She was at a consistent 9 with pain, 8 on good days. She had so many scans, ER visits ect. To the point where all the doctors were going to hand her off to the mayo clinic. She would have to take a few minutes after each visit that said that nothing was wrong to ball her eyes out. Then I found this video, ordered the belt. Now a few weeks later she has 0 pain. So I personally want to thank you for giving me back the happy fun loving wife that I married.
I am so glad you and your wife found my content helpful. Thank you so much for watching and sharing your wife's story. It sounds like she has been going through a lot but finally feeling better! I hope she continues feeling good! Take care! ☺️
I feel so bad hearing about so many people suffering from back pain. I believe back pain has the potential to ruin marriages and lives in general. Personally I used to lash out in anger at my loved ones.
Oml this guy is a God send. I’ve been in pain for over 20yrs have spent thousands of everything and not one person has suggested this and this guy has explained in detail the pain I’m in. Thank you soo much
13 YEARS!!!! It is 1:35 in the morning and I am screaming in pain looking for some sort of relief. I was actually looking for a quick relief video when I stumbled upon yours, I watched it anyway and wow did it make a difference!!! I have something very similar to the belt you suggested but I usually wear it around my lower back instead of my hips. All I did was lower it about 6 inches and I have immediate relief. Ridiculous but amazing. I am crying of relief right now. You just changed my life!! ❤
I'm humbled by your words. Making a difference in someone's life is what makes everything worth it. Thank you and I hope you get to feeling 100% soon.🙏🏽
Bro you’ve literally saved my life man…things got bleak there. This has changed my whole outlook on the nature of my episodes. Between the belt and learning to make that “pop” adjustment by hanging in an inversion table and doing a slight spinal twist. You’ve restored my faith in chiropractors by being candid.
When you start to plan your death because the pain has been too much for too long... Then some random stranger off the internet saves your mental state and thus, your life. I can't express how much this helps, I found an old lumbar support belt and tried it around my hips, even being the wrong size it helped! Ordered a belt within minutes.
Thank you! I've suffered for 5 years with no relief from right SI jt pain. I just ordered the belt & supplement. This morning I prayed for the Lord to guide me to getting well and this video appeared. I believe it's an answer to my prayer.❤️🙏🙏
Hi Hope, I’m sorry that you have had SI pain for 4 years but I am glad that you found my video and are feeling hopeful. I pray that the things I teach in the SI joint instability video help you get back to feeling 100% again really soon. Take care!
I really think what you are describing is what is going on with me. I have been told I have degenerative disc at L4-L5. Would it be easy to confuse these 2 conditions or can you have both? Also, I broke my tailbone in a skydiving land 15 years ago and now arthritis has set in there. The relief I get from chiropractic adjustments just don't last. The back and spine are just so confusing.
@@meganl.5650 The most common SI problem is restricted movement. The shock absorber effect is lost causing excess load on hip and low back. It generates pain because back muscles over-work and become painful. A good chiropractor should be able to diagnose which you have - SI restrictions or SI instability.
I suffered from SI pain for about 14 months...tried almost everything. THEN i found accupuncture !! Has solved the issue. I dont understand it but it works !!
Had this type of pain for months. This is one of the best youtube clips I have seen on this issue. No one has ever mentioned this type of belt to me. Thank you so much. 🇮🇪
I been had the belt it helps but not that much the only thing that really helped me was the SI JOINT FUSION that's where they put screws through your pelvis I have two 5 inch screws through my pelvis laying on my spine I hate to say anyone with this problem is destroyed for the rest of your life
I’ve been suffering from SI joint pain, with nerve pain, for years. As you said, yoga seemed to help, but not for long. Chiropractic adjustment also gave only temporary relief. I ordered the belt, and it came two days ago. I wore it for several hours yesterday, and last night I had my first pain-free sleep in years! I wore it all day today, and was amazed that I was able to walk pain-free, without limping! It’s a real game changer! Thank you!
Cause of injury: chiropractic adjustment of sacro iliac. Went from a slight problem to totally blocked such that nerves were pinched, incredible pain and continued to block for weeks after... Overinflated egos lead to forced manipulations. I told the practitioner that I would not tolerate the adjustment he wanted to make but he just insisted and went on to injure me. I went back to him and he just does not listen, wanted to do the same forced manip again!
@@MsMesem "overinflated egos lead to forced manipulations" very true. I stopped doing them with clients also because it was preventing them from making the required changes to actually fix their issue.
@@thatbodymechanic An aggressive thump on the area is not going to fix a long term problem that involves muscles, tendons and fascia; that seems pretty basic to me.
@@MsMesem STOP GOING! i've been to many different chiropractors over the years and if they don't listen leave right away or you can end up messed up. I love my current chiropractor and have been with him over 9 years...i have an odd hypermobile body and he always listens and rechecks if i say something still doesn't feel right...i'm weird and my floating rip won't adjust til the rest of my body is cleared out...i go back every few weeks to be put back together again and just sent him this video to get his thoughts on it...HOpe you find a good chiropractor soon!
I'm literally crying watching this. I've struggled with this off and on for nearly 20 years, unhelped by doctors, and yes, unhelped by yoga, though I love it. My second pregnancy left me nearly incapacitated, and after years working to heal from that, I wrecked all my progress last week by sweeping up a couple of leaves. I felt like I'd failed somehow. This video will not only help me physically (I'm ordering a belt ASAP), but it's already helped me psychologically -- I HAVEN'T been abusing my body after all, I HAVE been trying to take care of myself, I AM careful. I'm just way too flexible 😅 Everyone always acted like flexibility was a good thing, and all doctors ever told me was to stretch even more 😐 THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
42 years of pain and I think I finally found the answer. Wow! I'm just blown away. I'm so glad I stumbled upon this video. I can't believe I finally have the answer and I may not have to live the rest of my life dealing with this pain. Thank you so much 💓
Been a PT for nearly 30 years and have treated hundreds of backs, always checking for SI dysfunction day 1. Great coverage of this very common area that so many practitioners don’t take into the clinical picture. Pretty much cover all the points I cover with my patients including the one of the two SI belts I use. Also highly recommend people check out your exercise video. Thanks for promoting this often overlooked area and providing great info! Cheers
I've had this three times in my life over the last 10 years and it is the most debilitating pain I have ever experienced, especially as it prevents you from being mobile. Can't stand, can't sit, can't lie down without being in pain, it's horrible. The last time I had it was last year, and I stumbled on a YT video that showed me some stretches that began improvement within a few days, and within a couple of weeks I was back to my old self. I feel for anyone who experiences this condition and isn't able to get diagnosed and treated by a knowledgeable practitioner, it truly is hell on earth.
I have been having pain for a few years now and over the last few months has gotten worse. I purchased the belt that you recommended and received it 3 days ago. I have not had pain in 3 days. I wish I saw this earlier, but I am really grateful for your video and the help you gave me 👍
I have had MRI scans, physio, chiro and nobody could help me. Everything you have described here in this video are my symptoms that I have bee experiencing for the past 6 years. Some days I can’t even walk! It can be triggered by a simple stretch in bed when I first wake up which will cripple me for the whole day. I can’t believe I have stumbled on this video at 2am and I finally may have found a diagnosis. Thank you Dr..
I'm in the UK and have had this pain for 45 years. During that time I haven't found any doctor who was able to diagnos the cause of my SI pain. I now have to use a wheelchair to be mobile during the day. Your video has been revelatory for me. Thank you.
Hi Kate Snow, I’m sorry that you have been dealing with pain for so many years. I am glad that you found my video on SI joint instability and that it was revelatory for you. My life purpose is to help people understand their body and how to help it feel its best. I hope you will find some relief from your pain. Take care.
sorry to hear this Kate , i am a chiropractic student and hope that a chiropractor can help you , see if you can find one trained in gonstead chiropractic :) blessings and healing to you
I think the heavens just opened up and dropped you in my lap! Thank you Jesus thank you God for this video. I just order this belt, now I can say goodbye to the pain I’m in.
I feel seen! For the first time in 15 years all the pain and discomfort I’ve felt is validated by the information provided in this video. I’ve been to numerous chiropractors, RMT’s, physiotherapy appointments and all for temporary relief but never actually treating the chronic pain for my SI joint injury. I ordered the trochanteric belt and now the Ligaplex supplements. I’m also going to do these exercises that are recommended too. I can’t wait to feel normal and mobile like I once was. Kudos to you doc for the valuable video!!
After 27 years you have given me the answer to my extreme pain sitting standing and sleeping. Excruciating pain from a car accident that requires Fentanyl to dull but not kill the pain.
As an RN, I very much appreciate the teaching of anatomy and physiology which is so important for the patient before undertaking therapy. Many thanks for a most excellent channel!
Bless you Diane. RNs are great people. I have three in my family. And thank you for your kind words. I too believe that sharing the whole story is important to helping people get better and stay better. 🙏
I’m 49 I’ve had these issues my whole life and no one NOONE has been able to understand it. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EXPLAINING WHAT IS HAPPENING IN MY BODY!!!
By your happy demeanour I know that you are already in heaven. I wish you to stay happy and healthy and live for ever. Thank you so much for explaining the mechanics of this problem. It's been at least 15 years since I ask medical professionals for help and they simply don't know what you do. Thank you for sharing. Thanks to people like you this world is a better place to live in.
Hi Lucyna Jacobs, Thank you so much for your kind words. They made me smile and feel joyful. I am grateful that I can help people to better understand their body and feel better.
Thank you! I have been suffering with hip pain for years with professionals saying it’s sciatic, but I don’t have the pain in the legs, just the hip band and now the pelvis in the front! It’s so comforting to hear someone accurately explain my pain! I’ve been being manually adjusted for years and I’ll have relief for hours to weeks and then back in pain!
Oh sorry yes I've been doing massage for 21 years and the gun helps but really you need a softball size next to provide bone on your front side it hurts if it burns turn it is the problem just stay in it for 30 seconds and it will start to dad move around until to find another sore spot. It really works. It's the hip flexors you can only get to it from the front
I cried today because I am so tired of living in pain. I am hoping to find the right doctor to truly help me because its been so long, nothing is working but I have faith that it will. I will be pain free!
I fell in 1977 and landed on my left hip. I've been to every conceivable practitioner with no lasting help for 45 years. I'm buying the belt. You make more sense than all of them put together. Thank you.
I’m in a lot of pain and can’t figure out why. Going down all the routes… ran across this video and have never heard of this. On the verge of tears because this explains everything for me. Thank you sir!!
I’ve had many surgeries from broken bones, torn ligaments and muscles. I’ve never had excruciating pain as my SI joint is giving me. Wasn’t able to walk for 3 months. I’m finally getting the surgery to fix it but yea never had pain like this
I was a gymnast, very flexible and have had this pain for a few years now. I'm in my 60's now. The belt is fantastic. I can't walk more than 100 ft. without. it. Thank you for addressing this condition.
It's been about two months since I discovered this video. I purchased the belt and supplement. After 6 weeks I was cured. Your diagnosis was spot on and I committed to the process. Once I properly placed the belt on. Everything changed for the better. Thanks Doc! 🙏🏿
@@PositiveMotionChiro Hi I have just discovered your videos and am feeling encouraged to try your recommendations. Like many others who have written I have suffered for 7years with SI joint pain and seen physio, doctors, chiropractors with no long term cure. I am sure I have muscle/core weakness so am very keen to purchase the trochanteric belt and ligaplex 1 supplement but cannot find the links you mentioned. Could you please send them to me. I live in NZ so hope they will ship there. I have also noted down your exercises. Many thanks. Heather
@@nataliadagon ligaplex2. The doctor said it was the patient choice. Wearing the belt properly is key. It's uncomfortable at first but I would wear for about 12 hours a day.
Wow!! I’ve been suffering with this for 2 years now, and I’ve tried so many things to no avail. I just found this video tonight and ordered the belt immediately. I hope it helps me too.
I have been getting adjustments 4 to 7 times a month for almost 3 years, with very short term relief. When you described symptoms I kept saying "that's me". This is the first time I felt hopeful. Thank you.
I cannot thank you enough for sharing this priceless information. I have been suffering for the past 2 years with horrible lower back pain which radiates into my glutes and down my leg. My back went out a few months ago and I was incapacitated. My legs wouldn't work and the pain was horrific. I could not afford a trochanteric belt so I grabbed a large scarf from my closet and tied it snug around my hips where you said the belt should be placed. I've been wearing it daily for about 4 days and now the pain in my glutes, legs, and lower back is almost non-existent. I was beginning to get so depressed from the chronic pain everyday. Thank you so much for your help. I hope you are blessed beyond measure for it. ❤️
It sounds like you have been through a lot Strudlebaker. Thank you for sharing your experience. I am glad you are feeling better and I hope you get to feeling 100% soon. Hang in there.
I've had this problem since I was 15 (now 28) and several medical people have overlooked it, not even considered the SI joint. I also have hypermobility. Thank you for this video, I now know what to do about it going forward!
Doctor I can’t thank you enough.. I cried because you put everything I’ve been feeling and going through for more than ten years into words, you described everything!!! I’ve done PT, multiple chiros, and was headed next to ortho, so tired of being in pain!!!!!!! I’m sending my love to you… for your goodness, and unknowingly being an answer to my prayer 💖
Great video, the internet is filled with snake oil narcissistic salesmen, and it is so refreshing to see a genuine professional giving information for free. Thank you!!!
Backpain for years, nothing helps, have tomorrow an appointment at a new orthopedist and youtube just recommended this video to me. Don't know which power i have to thank for this coincidence, but I am so happy. What you described is me to the letter....
Hi Nevaeh, I’m also happy that you found my video on SI joint pain and that it resonated with you. I hope your upcoming visit with your doctor will give you a solution to your years of back pain. I’m sending positive thoughts your way.
EXCELLENT explanation and solutions! It's pretty incredible the shear force at the SI joint. When I was a young kid, whenever I sat cross-legged, I'd feel a "thump" at my bottom but never had any pain. The first time I had pain was when I was pregnant, and in standing, I sneezed. The most incredible pain, couldn't sit/stand, going from sitting to standing and vice versa was excrutiating. Did not know at the time anything about SI joint and my OBGYN didn't mention it as a possible cause. Fast forward years of self study (and eventually going to back to school to practice PT), I now understand what happened, and why. I learned that a big factor in SI joint dysfunction can be women's hormonal cycles which cause increased ligament laxity. This is necessary during pregnancy to allow for delivery through the pelvis, but it also happens to a lesser degree during regular menstrual cycles, and it affects all ligaments in the body. They've seen that women athletes can become more injured at certain points in their cycles for just this reason. I appreciate your approach and wanted to add a bit of info to the conversation.
I’m so relieved I found you! After going to so many different providers, this video is the first thing that finally makes sense! I subscribed and thank you so much for helping us!
I am so thankful I ran across this video. I’ve been suffering with debilitating pain in my lower back, hips, and nerve pain down my legs. I’ve been to a chiropractor off and on for 30+ years, been to PT multiple times, and have had several epidurals, etc., only to have the pain come back. I’m beyond excited and very hopeful that these exercises will help me!! I was actually researching how to strengthen my core when I found you. You mentioned some of the exercises that sheared the SI joint and I had just started doing some of those lately. So I’m super thankful for your video!!!!
I've been dealing with SI pain for over 15 years & this has been the most informational & helpful video ever! I definitely need that belt! I've been going to a pain dr since 2010 & chiropractic care off & on before then. I'm definitely going to order one! Thank you!
@@keto4life197 because the product was at the end and the video was incredibly informative as to what causes the pain and why. Even before the product was mentioned it was helpful and informative. Did you even watch the video?
@harrier850 You probably still need a gentle adjustment of the SI joint as described in the video. I had good luck with an excellent physical therapist who had expertise in myofascial release. We could hear a soft click as my SI joint moved back into place. I immediately felt better and can now sit again. I'm wearing the trocanter belt to allow the SI joint to now heal (ligaments to tighten). I hope this helps!
Hi Catalina, I’m glad you found my video helpful and that it resonated with you. Thank you so much for watching and commenting on our sacroiliac joint pain video.
1 in a million videos on sore back/si pain.. this guy is literally saving lives with this one utube video.. It's tough to figure this problem out. Very very many thank yous..😊
I've had this pain for 30 years. Doctors, Chiropractors and Specialists never addressed this even when I told them where he pain is all the time. I ordered the belt and it will arrive tomorrow. Thank You Positive Motion Chiropractic. I also subscribed and clicked the bell for all your videos.
Hi Wayne, I’m glad that this video resonated with you. Hopefully what you learned and using the belt will help you feel tons better. Fingers crossed! And thanks for the subscribing!
I can't believe how lucky I am to have had this video come up in my feed. I have been in pain for years but the second I put on the Serola band, my pain decreased significantly. Thank you so much!
Hi Stacy, Thank you for sharing your experience. I am so glad that the Serola SI belt helped you feel instant pain relief. What a wonderful thing! Take care.
It took me 4 years to figure out all that stuff by myself, including what’s going on with me, what is SI joint and its structure, SI joint belts, and all these, for years I’ve been searching for help, and here it put together into one short video! Bravo! Btw, my SI joint problems started with hopping on one leg after osteomyelitis surgery (I was too lazy to use crutches). Avoid asymmetrical movements, especially bending on one leg, lifting weights on one leg etc. peace ✌️
Thank you so much. This is one of the best videos I have watched. I have had SI joint problems for years. And years ago I made myself a belt like that because there was no Amazon. And now I have one official one that works quite well not only is your information in your video good, you have a very nice personality and way of speaking.❤
I just wanted to say thank you for this information… did my own research about the type a pain I was experiencing with even not being able to walk for 5 days. I couldn’t wait for this specific belt so I used an old neoprene sweat belt I had…the instantaneous relief I felt cannot be overstated. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
You hit every. single. marker. of the pain and symptoms I'm going through. This has explained so much, and I am definitely going to have to do some more research along this route and discuss with my doctor. Thank you for opening a door to a possible cause
Thanks for your in depth knowledge regarding the si ligament instability and periformis involvement. This is probably a very overlooked diagnosis and keeps patients frustrated with unnecessary chronic pain.
After at least 6 years of lower back pain, including many blockages of 3 to 4 days, many doctor consultations with the result "there is nothing wrong with your back" I was so hopeless that the internet became my friend. That's how I came across your website and after watching a video about SI problems I knew "This is what's wrong with me"! I immediately ordered the SEROLA belt and started the exercises and felt that this was correct! After 5 weeks of constantly wearing the belt I was able to do everything I could before the pain started six years ago ... incredible!!! I am eternally grateful and thank you for giving me my life back.
This made me so happy to read. I am glad you found my content helpful and that you are back to doing the things you couldn't. Thank you for sharing your story. Take care.
I have suffering since I was 18 I'm in my 40s now. This explains my pain perfectly. It also causes pain in my knees like I need to stretch or massage them. Thanks for the lessons I'll start moving toward a more pain free lifestyle.
I let my problem go for this long and it began to feel as though tissue around left knee was being torn upward toward my groin, as my pelvis tilted down to the right. I used a cain off/on for more than 2 years. Over 2 years of 11 rolfing sessions, regular Network Spinal Analysis + some gentle adjustments, and semi-regular accupuncture/aggressive massage has been doing wonders.
Hi Tom, I'm sorry to hear that you have been suffering for so long. But it sounds like you have a great attitude and that you are searching for ways to educate yourself towards a more pain-free lifestyle. That is wonderful. Best of luck to you on your journey and thank you for your comment!
Hi Tee Dee, Musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction when ignored can develop many compensations. I find in my practice that the longer something has gone on the more work there is to unravel the compensations and get to the root cause the pain. It sounds like you've had quite a ride with your pelvis, groin, and left knee pain. It sounds like you have found some things that are really working for you and that makes me very happy. Here's to a pain-free 2021!
Same! I am a nurse and dont know what else to do...ready to stand on my head over here. Mine started from sleigh riding (ironic!) and 15 yrs of gymnastics. Pain is always there but is at an 8 rn.
That was the best information I have ever gotten! I have suffered with this for over 8 years so many Chiropractic appointments and never had an SI diagnosis. This makes complete sense for all my pain issues! Thank you so much for this video!
Seriously, Thank you thank you! I have h-eds and all the fun that comes with that gumby life. I've seen so many doctors complaining of pain in si joint= mri, xrays(flexing), epidurals or dr focusing solely on my L4/5 fusion and/ scar tissue and excusing my complaints. So i turned to UA-cam and thankfully here is this gentleman who actually addresses hypermobility as an issue with it. Thank you for the advice. I'm in the valley so i might just come out to the bay for a visit.
I have been suffering from debilitating pain in my SI area for the last 5 years. I have been hospitalized several times due to this condition and have had numerous scans and mri’s and have had so many injections and treatments to no avail. I had almost given up hope of ever enjoying life fully again without pain. Until, I saw your video!! I am only 2 days into wearing the belt and my pain has already DRAMATICALLY improved! I will check back in and update you in two weeks. I finally have hope 😢❤
Arnold, thank you for sharing your story. I’m sorry you have gone through so much pain. I hope that you will continue to find relief and that 2024 will be your best year yet! Take care and thank you again for sharing. 🙏🏼
@@ChiefOfSprouts thank you for asking. Soooo much better. I’m down about 50% in pain reduction it’s incredible how much something that simple helps so much. To think I almost went in for another surgery. Please try this!
@arnoldharvey293 - I’m so stoked that your pain is down 50% in a month. Simple things can make big differences when they are needed. And @StrongLongBlack I love the community around this channel and folks checking in on one each other. Thank you. 🤙🏼
@@arnoldharvey293 Amazing! I have to admit I've already felt an improvement after only 2 days of wearing this belt. I don't even care if it's a placebo, it seems to be working. To think of the thousands I've spent on therapies since it happened... Incredible that nobody I've come across yet apart from Dr. Brant knows about this? Like, it truly baffles me.
Sorry, this is so long I didn’t know how else to explain what had happened in 50 years. This was the best video that could have come along. You did a wonderful job explaining SI so it was really easy to understand. I’ve never heard of this even though I’ve dealt w it since 7th grade. I turned 60 this year. Trauma at the park running around fell on the edge of the sidewalk, perfectly landed on my coccyx. Took months to sit properly and years to watch a movie in a theater all the way. Through the years I’ve had problems with lower back, neck, shoulders, sciatic pain, degenerative disease, osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. In 10th grade woke up for school and could not move neck in severe pain. Had acupuncture back then in a very small town. Chiropractors at neighbor going to school saw due to neck and lower back SI. Since then it’s been chiropractors, doctors, MRI’s, CT’s, physical therapy over and over for many years.The pain is always there especially in lower region as you showed “SI”, tailbone, lower back, neck, shoulders and headaches. My right side is out now and very painful even without the touch. Painful to sit have tried many different devices. Looking for something new. I've been using heat and ice for years forgot about that tried every cream and pad on the market. Nothing helps. While your getting treated maybe some relief when they quit it starts all over. Rehabilitation worked and they tried electrical stimulation. After it quits working. If I brush my teeth, wash dishes, run errands, wash clothes, pick something up my SI flares up. Then my sciatic flares up. Had a few strokes so over the years this has not helped in the nerve area. The left side from hip down to me toes gives me problems. Stand to long or on feet to long then my back, legs and feet hurt worse than having three babies natural. I’m in severe pain all the time. I’m tired of it and if what your talking about will help this would be my miracle. So thank you. I forgot to write your name down my bad I’ll do that after this long post. Take care and many blessings!
Just ordered my belt on Amazon & praying this helps. The chronic pain is unreal whether sitting, standing, walking or laying in bed. I’ve been doing yoga & no relief & now I understand why 😔 Thank you❤️
I did end up ordering a belt and yes it did help way more than I expected. The one I bought was kinda poor quality and I ended up sending it back to Amazon but because I know it will help I'm going to eventually order a name brand serola belt as they seem to be better constructed. But I had improvement in pain after only wearing it for 2 weeks and the one from Amazon was only $30 and can be sent back if it doesn't help.
Wow, this was enlightening. I’ve been dealing with SI joint issues for decades, they worsened during pregnancy almost 22 years ago. I recently started a yoga program and found the condition worsen, after watching this it now makes sense why. I’ve contemplated a return back to a chiropractor but will take a look at the SI belt and your recommendations. Thank you very much.
I had my baby 23 years ago and the Dr told me if I wanted to have another baby I would be on bed rest for the whole pregnancy or they would have to move my screws nope because of that injury I chose to never have anymore kids
I suggest you Google EDS (Ehlers Danlos Syndrome) hypermobile type. Female hormones can increase ligament laxity which is why so many women have issues with load bearing joints during pregnancy (also during certain times through menstrual cycle).
It’s not too uncommon to break your coccyx during pregnancy, as well. I’m suffering from a broken coccyx and all of the surrounding muscles and ligaments that have been affected, including SI instability. Good luck
eating your way to health ..... it has been a journey of 50 years for me... the amazing doctors and professionals of you tube that offer free in most cases help..... many will show you easy tips to keep healthy! good video doc ...
I fell on my behind over a month ago, and started experiencing this pain that you described perfectly, even the pain down the back of the leg. I would LOVE to get my hands on one of those belts!
I am so grateful that something led me to your video. I could hardly walk…no kidding! It was difficult, but I managed to do just one of each of the exercises. By night fall I was getting around pretty much pain free. I can’t thank you enough for sharing this video with the world! I am thankful for you and May God bless you young man! 👏👏
I stumble on your video and I am so appreciative of your lecture. I was feeling abandoned with my back pain. Now I know what’s my problem and it’s because of you. Thank you!
This is exactly what I needed to hear. I fell about 3 years ago down the stairs in my home, hitting my left hip all the way down, on each step. Thank you for this video. Now maybe I can get some relief.
After watching this, im almost 95% sure this is what I've been dealing with for the last several years. Ive tried chiropractors, massage therapy, and x-rays. Thank you so much for the very informative and detailed video!
I cannot express my gratitude for your video in words. I have been in so much pain for 8 years (I am 25 years old). The pain extends from the tips of my toes all the way to my head. My whole right side is numb and it hurts a lot. It started of with pain in only my leg and after a year the pain also went up my body. And the source of the pain radiates from my SI joint. I have been to so many specialists over the years and did so many scans, no one knew what was going on. I was told the pain must be psycho somatic. But now I know better. I can finally heal because I know what is wrong. Thank you so much, you literally changed my life ❤
OMG this is EXACTLY the pain I’ve been having for months (and years actually on and off) and currently going to PT for after my X-ray came back negative! Thank for this video and helpful information!!
Man!!! This makes so much sense. I had two slip and falls in two years. When I finally went to PT for knee pain, I came out of it with bursitis in my right hip. After suffering for 3 years (including chiropractic adjustments), I’ve finally began to understand that my weak glute meds and core were the real culprits. Thanks so much for these incredibly helpful videos.
Hi AmyD! Thank you so much for subscribing to my channel. I appreciate you taking the time to share your story. I hope you are on your way to feeling better soon!
Wow I wish I was in America right now nearly everything you are talking about is me I’m in tears here , i will have to watch again take notes and go back to my doctor . I’m a heavy set woman and I always feel like im judged by looks and not by pain .
Hi Carmel, I’m glad that you found my video on SI joint pain and instability. Many times weight gets used as an excuse when other causes of the patient’s pain can’t be determined. Don’t give up. Keep working with your medical professionals. I’m sending positive thoughts your way for a fully pain-free life!
Doc thank you so much! For 4 years i've been suffering from this pain, i've visited more then 10 doctors and nobody helped me. In my case its started in gym when i started to pull heavy weights from floor - deadlift , squatting. And after that i was searching the answers , i've visited doctors in Russia and South Korea and thousands and thousands of dollars was wasted, nobody was even close to solving my problem. Bless you Doctor!!!
Thank YOU for watching and sharing your experience. It sounds like you have been through a lot. I hope you are on your way to feeling better Evgeny. Hang in there.
@@ChiefOfSprouts Im so glad you asked! Im much much better despite my lazyness. I've visited physiotherapist few times, he showed me exercises i needed and overall im good. Thanks again for your videos. God bless!
I'm glad you found the video helpful. The sacroiliac joint is so commonly a cause of low back pain and understanding SI joint treatment options is vital. Thanks for your comment.
Omg, I’m only 8 minutes into this and you have totally explained my problems. It’s like you’ve been watching me, and seen me slip, miss step and hard land or fall. Several times. I’m so excited there’s hope. Thank you.
Dude I’ve been struggling with what I thought was sciatic nerve pain for my entire adult life. This info took pain away that I didn’t think I could get rid of. Thank you
Was disgnosed with this years ago. I remember the injury when I was between 5 and 7 (slipped on stairs, landed on one buttock). My father told me to get up and quit crying, when I NEEDED to have it immediately put back into place. Instead, I was left to grow into adulthood with bad body imbalance, and popping, painful hip. Put on trochanter belt and my muscles were SO tired! But chiropractor did not want me getting one. THANK YOU!!!
Wow. After years with back/ hip issues I was referred to a pain mgmt This was the diet time SI came up and suggested I wear a belt. Beautiful!!!! What a difference!!! Still have issues with L3-L5 but at least I can walk again with reduced hip pain….and I am a walker!! Thanks for explaining further
Thank you so much for this video. I’ve been having chiropractic for years for sciatic. I moved to Canada from Washington 8 yrs ago. I’ve been having the side twisting adjustment but it makes it worse so now I know what to ask for, plus with your exercises I now have hope to get pain free. ❤❤❤
I have had MRIs and been to three different PTs, this video explains my situation almost perfectly. Thank you! I can't wait to discuss this with my Healthcare team and get that belt!
So glad I found these videos. I bought an SI belt and I was able to go for a pain free walk, something I have not been able to do for years. Annoyed my pain management doctor never told me about this. Thank you for posting.❤
I am currently being treated for this due to hypermobility and, as your patients say, I have been looking for a belt support for when it feels particularly unstable so thank you for the tip.
I loved this video. Very informative and interesting. I have had this pain for almost 2 years. Went to 3 different physio therapists and, only recently, one said it was the sij. Thank you
Hi Luisa, I’m glad that you found my video to be helpful. I’m sorry that you have been in pain for so long and that your therapists only recently discussed your sacroiliac joint. Hopefully you will get back to feeling 100% soon. Take care!
Wow! I think you've identified a problem i've have for a long time. All the symptoms you've described are mine. I'm 75 and thought i might need a hip replacement. I'm eager to move ahead now with proper healing now that I know what it is. Thanks!!!
Hi Robert Dryden, I’m glad that you found the video helpful and that it resonated. There can be many different causes of pain and educating ourselves about the body is always beneficial. I hope that you will feel better and that you have many more years of great mobility and youthfulness. Take care!
Omg every single word you've said has absolutely described the pain I've had for months. I've had my pelvis realigned. I've had trigger points dry needed. I've done so many isometric workouts for my glutes. I've had an MRI that discovered a bulging L4-L5 disc, which I've started to fix after some red flag symptoms and after ALL OF THAT, I still had sacroiliac pain. I've felt like I've been going mad reading and watching videos around it and discovering the sheer amount of tendons in the area and thinking, "but the edges of my glutes feel weak.... could that be my tendons?" I've just used a regular damn belt, and the pain has just stopped as I've stood up. Proper belt coming in the morning. I'm going to the doctor with this info ASAP. Thank you so much!
You are welcome. Thank YOU for sharing your story, sounds like you have been going through a lot. I hope that this is the start to your pain free journey. Take care.
Thank you so much for this wonderful video. My heart goes out to everyone who has so much pain. I've had my pain for only 3 months but it has completely stopped my world. The video explains my pain exactly. I had to use stairs the other day because an escalator was broken. I was crying in pain after three levels. I took the elevator down. I just ordered both products. Thank you for putting a link using Amazon. I'll have my products in 2 days. Many blessings 🙏
I’m glad that my video on SI joint pain resonated with you. I am sorry to hear you have been in pain. I hope you feel better soon. Thank you so much for watching and commenting.
Thank you so much! This is the most simple, but thorough explanation of SI joint pain that I’ve seen. It has given me so much hope after years of pain. Thank you!
YOU EXPLAINED EXACTLY THE SYMPTOMS I’M SUFFERING FOR MANY YEARS AFTER FALLING AND BOUNCING ON MY BUTTOCKS GOING DOWNSTAIRS, OF COURSE I DID’NT NOTICED HARSH PAIN JUST AFTER THE ACCIDENT...
I’m glad that you found an answer to the cause of your SI and back pain after watching my video. I hope that with this knowledge you will be able to get back to feeling 100% and pain-free.
José, I just commented with that same exact story ! Twelve years ago I mistepped and bounced my butt down the stairs too! I've never even heard of the SI Joint. In fact, I'm not even sure how I came across those video and started watching it. Lol.
Everything you said is absolutely perfect about the pain I went thru for months. I had the x-rays and MRIs and ultrasounds and nobody could find out what it was. The girl that does my Fashah Massage said that she doesn’t believe it’s my sciatic, but it was my sacroiliac joint. She recommended I go to a chiropractor. I was terrified of going to a chiropractor, because I don’t like things that pop, especially on me. He introduced me to the drop table, and on the very first visit I was able to walk again without the pain. I’ve gone to him about five times so far in the last month, but each time I can go longer without having to go see him again. I’m on day seven and I feel terrific. I truly believe this is helping. And I can only pray that in time. I’ll be able to do strengthening exercises and won’t need to go to the chiropractor. just to be able to walk to the car without crying or be able to make my own bed or do laundry or do dishes is truly a blessing. I feel like there’s hope now. Thank you for this video. I am sharing it with several people and family members.
Thank you so much for sharing your journey. It sounds like you have been through a lot but finally on the wayto living pain free.🙏🏼 Glad you found my content helpful. Take care.
This was so helpful. I couldn’t understand what might have caused my pain, until you mentioned taking a step down when you’re not expecting it. I did exactly that on our stairs at home…missed the bottom step and hit the landing driving my right leg straight up. Never thought a thing about it afterwards, but now it all makes sense. Definitely going to try the belt…right now I can’t stand up or walk around for more than 10 or 15 mins without really bad pain in my hip and leg. It gets to the point where I can barely walk.
same here but it's been going on for so long I thought it was period pain and related to endometriosis attached to my hip cavity and bowels - I have since been referred to a pain management clinic where he suspects SI and I am having the SI joint anesthetised in a few days and if that stops the pain I will move on to Physio - this had been getting worse for 15 years - unreal if the pain clinic is right
@@Adrienneten I'm so glad I read your comment. I was telling my doctor the doctor about my pain and I was so concerned it was related to my ovaries or menstrual cycle, but yet it felt like joint pain too. I thought I was crazy. Curious to hear how your SI joint anesthesia works for you
I plan to discuss this with my chiropractor. So far any relief I have gotten is temporary at best. Thanks for the info. I've watched dozens of videos and no one has talked about this type of issue before. Makes perfect sense.
Hi R Davis, I’m glad that my video on SI joint pain and instability resonated with you. I hope that working with your chiropractor that you will be able to get back to feeling 100% in short order. Take care!
Good video. So to be clear, there is a difference between the sacrum/pelvis being out of alignment vs. the si joints being stretched too much. Both present similiarly but they have different treatments. First you have to see if your pelvis is out of alignment, then stabilize it, and hold in place with the belt and stability exercises. However, if you have overstretched the ligaments, which can happen thru vigorous exercise, dance, not necessarily trauma, then the key is to rest, use ice, and use the serola belt. When the pain stops, then you can start the strengthening exercises. I love my serola belt and it helps bring more awareness to movement in that area. It has taken me years to figure all this out...hope it helps someone.
This is one of the most helpful explanations I have seen. I have been involved in back injury prevention as a safety professional and risk manager since 1978, including dozens of workshops, seminars and hundreds of hours of training. Especially appreciated your careful explanation of how a person can do things they "think" or feel makes them better, when it only lasts a short time. I also appreciate your caution against high force "hear the crack" manipulation in this particular injury. Lax joints really don't need more stressful motions pulling them apart. Thank you very much.
Two days of wearing the SI joint belt and I have for the first time experienced no pain standing or driving, better sleep, less muscle tension in back, hips and legs. You have described to a tee everything that I have been experiencing for the last 3 years while doctors kept telling me there was nothing wrong with me and chiropractor, massage, accupuncture provided temporary relief. Without going into the details of my entire 3 year saga, I just can't believe that no one ever mentioned this belt to me, though I always pointed to the exact spot between lower back and buttocks to every single health practitioner. So, thank you. I am quite sure that I have SI joint instability which now begs the question: 1) can I do stretching and strengthening exercises with the belt on, or should I even continue exercising while wearing the belt? Is it better to take a couple of weeks and let the belt alone hopefully allow for area to heal? 2) Which stretching exercises release tension in lower back, buttocks and hips, but do not worsen frayed or loose SI ligaments? 3) Which glute strengthening exercises do not irritate sciatic nerve causing more muscle tension and pain in area, creating a need for more stretching in what seems like an endless loop, while possibly worsening the SI instability? Much gratitude 🙏
@@talenthunt750 I am still figuring it out. There are a few theories in my case. One that the back pain while standing seems to be caused by back muscles tightening, taking over for weak core muscles, causing an exaggerated curve of lower back. Belt eases the pain so that back muscles don't need to work so hard to keep me standing. But seems like, at least in my case, no other way out but to strengthen glutes and core muscles. Must be correct exercises so that back doesn't tighten even more, i.e. only exercises that keep back fully touching the floor, not tightening back more. Also practicing tucking in the the tail bone while standing and engaging core muscles. Hope this helps you. If not, keep searching and listening to your body.
@@minafl1 oh! but i've diagnosed AS 4 days ago cause I'm hla b27 positive . It's in early stage (nr axspa) though . You should do a hla b27 test if you feel stiffness in morning . Whatever, take it seriously , early diagnosis can save your life, God bless
Thank you so much for putting this video out there. A colleague put her own belt on me yesterday (I’ve now ordered one for myself!) and the INSTANT relief was amazing. Best video I’ve ever watched on SI pain. You’ve explained what I felt all along when the muscle is swollen and I honestly felt the ligaments “ping” as they catch, it can render me frozen for about 30 seconds the pain is so bad. Thank you a thousand times. Much gratitude from the UK. ❤❤❤
You are so welcome Ash Sara. It makes me happy to know that you found my video helpful and that you are feeling better. Thank YOU for watching and sharing your feedback. Take care.
Thankyou so much, this has given me grief for 12 months on and off. This is exactly what i have and my physio agrees. My passion is motorcycles and lawn bowls and as soon as I ride my bikes and hit pot holes I'm back to square one. Feeling a glimmer of hope after watching your video.
I am glad you found my content helpful! Thank you so much for watching and sharing your experience. I hope you are able to ride your bike pain free soon!
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO. I was literally screaming YES! Everytime you said anything. I've been going to massage, chiropractor, acupuncture, and physical therapy and nothing is helping me. I was so confused like what more can I do??? Thank you thank you thank you!!! I am so grateful for you taking the time for this and explaining so well!
Hi Natalia,
I'm so glad that you found my SI joint pain video and that it resonated with you. I hope you will feel better soon!
thank you doctor I been suffering of that pain I need to understand tha exercise regularly
Hi! also here is what saved me, I suffered with sciatica for 3 years, and I had tried everything, ( i am 58 yrs old) it would literally take me 15 minutes to figure out how to get out of bed! it was so painful! ...So my daughter came home from college and i asked her to put the memory foam mattress she used at college on my bed and this is going to sound nuts but after just napping on it once i could tell i felt a little better! and then going forward each time i slept on it, it got easier to get out of bed and after 2 weeks my sciatica was basically gone! I have not been back to the Dr. to get any more cortisone shots since! And I am not selling a product because as you can see, i have not named the product other than that it was memory foam. So sometimes it can be as dumb as changing a little something in your life like this pad!
also i had a meniscus problem in my knee because i had been compensating with my knees to bend to pick things up. ....On another day i was telling a friend about my past back problems and how the pad fixed me and she asked if i wear flip flops, and i said yes! i live in them in the summer! and a light bulb went off in my head because it suddenly occured to me that every time i started wearing flip flops my back would start to feel bad, ....so then....because our phones are listening, i get and add for these flip flops with and arch support which of course i then ordered!... and this is equally nuts but i had a bump by my knee almost the size of a half walnut, and this is no joke, after 24 hours the pain was gone and 72 hours the bump was gone! And my son said to me, mom if i did not see that with my own eyes i would not believe you! But the bump was there for 3 months and he saw it go away in 3 days! and i had been seeing a doctor for it and nothing was working! ...except those flip flops!
so try simple changes like these too!!! It made all the difference for me!

It sounds like you have been through a lot Alyssa Rauchbauer. Thank you for sharing your experience. I hope you get back to feeling 100% soon. Hang in there!
Same here
You won’t believe this but my docs pass me over due to my age, regardless of a life of athletics and no health problems.
Same!! I also have a lumbar herniated disc so everyone has assumed that is what my pain was from. I am just figuring out I have SI joint issues after 12 years of pain. 😢
I had it first at 28 yrs old. Never had it again with the use of Pilates and good physiotherapist until I got sloppy at 47. Fixing it is life changing 😊
No joke....I've had this for 40 years, been to numerous doctors had innumerable procedures and tests, and recently stopped the pain pill roller-coaster after 14 years. You are the absolute 1st and only doctor who has explained this. Unbelievable. You answered every single question ive been trying to get answered for a very long time.Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing your story. I’m so glad you found my video and that it resonated with you. 🙏🏼
See dr Aaron horschig he will heal you for life
Yes right
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! My wife had been fighting with this pain for about a year. She was at a consistent 9 with pain, 8 on good days. She had so many scans, ER visits ect. To the point where all the doctors were going to hand her off to the mayo clinic. She would have to take a few minutes after each visit that said that nothing was wrong to ball her eyes out. Then I found this video, ordered the belt. Now a few weeks later she has 0 pain. So I personally want to thank you for giving me back the happy fun loving wife that I married.
I am so glad you and your wife found my content helpful. Thank you so much for watching and sharing your wife's story. It sounds like she has been going through a lot but finally feeling better! I hope she continues feeling good! Take care! ☺️
How do you spell threw name of the belt?
I feel so bad hearing about so many people suffering from back pain. I believe back pain has the potential to ruin marriages and lives in general. Personally I used to lash out in anger at my loved ones.
The Thompson technique with pressure tool and drop table fixes it in about 6 months-but-my injury was about 20 years old.

13 YEARS!!!! It is 1:35 in the morning and I am screaming in pain looking for some sort of relief. I was actually looking for a quick relief video when I stumbled upon yours, I watched it anyway and wow did it make a difference!!!
I have something very similar to the belt you suggested but I usually wear it around my lower back instead of my hips. All I did was lower it about 6 inches and I have immediate relief. Ridiculous but amazing. I am crying of relief right now. You just changed my life!! ❤

Yes for me also. Best video.
Bro you’ve literally saved my life man…things got bleak there. This has changed my whole outlook on the nature of my episodes. Between the belt and learning to make that “pop” adjustment by hanging in an inversion table and doing a slight spinal twist. You’ve restored my faith in chiropractors by being candid.
It makes me happy to know that my video was helpful to you. I do this for moments like this. Take care and I hope you are on your way to feeling 100%
I love an inversion table. I swear I wouldve slept upside down on mine if I could.
Tell me more about this pop adjustment?? Is there another video on that?? Desperate!!
When you start to plan your death because the pain has been too much for too long... Then some random stranger off the internet saves your mental state and thus, your life. I can't express how much this helps, I found an old lumbar support belt and tried it around my hips, even being the wrong size it helped! Ordered a belt within minutes.
@@sugapie5328 lol
Thank you! I've suffered for 5 years with no relief from right SI jt pain. I just ordered the belt & supplement. This morning I prayed for the Lord to guide me to getting well and this video appeared. I believe it's an answer to my prayer.❤️🙏🙏
4 years of this SI pain after a fall. I feel like crying because you have so many solutions that have given me hope. Thank you so much!!
Hi Hope,
I’m sorry that you have had SI pain for 4 years but I am glad that you found my video and are feeling hopeful. I pray that the things I teach in the SI joint instability video help you get back to feeling 100% again really soon. Take care!
Your story sounds like mine..
I really think what you are describing is what is going on with me. I have been told I have degenerative disc at L4-L5. Would it be easy to confuse these 2 conditions or can you have both? Also, I broke my tailbone in a skydiving land 15 years ago and now arthritis has set in there. The relief I get from chiropractic adjustments just don't last. The back and spine are just so confusing.
@@meganl.5650 The most common SI problem is restricted movement. The shock absorber effect is lost causing excess load on hip and low back. It generates pain because back muscles over-work and become painful. A good chiropractor should be able to diagnose which you have - SI restrictions or SI instability.
I suffered from SI pain for about 14 months...tried almost everything.
THEN i found accupuncture !!
Has solved the issue. I dont understand it but it works !!
Had this type of pain for months. This is one of the best youtube clips I have seen on this issue. No one has ever mentioned this type of belt to me. Thank you so much. 🇮🇪
Same!!!
Me either
Fighting this for years. No one hears me. No one listens.
I been had the belt it helps but not that much the only thing that really helped me was the SI JOINT FUSION that's where they put screws through your pelvis I have two 5 inch screws through my pelvis laying on my spine I hate to say anyone with this problem is destroyed for the rest of your life
Sorry to hear that Janice that really sounds awful. Thanks for sharing everyone, really hope your all doing better today. 🇮🇪
I’ve been suffering from SI joint pain, with nerve pain, for years. As you said, yoga seemed to help, but not for long. Chiropractic adjustment also gave only temporary relief. I ordered the belt, and it came two days ago. I wore it for several hours yesterday, and last night I had my first pain-free sleep in years! I wore it all day today, and was amazed that I was able to walk pain-free, without limping! It’s a real game changer! Thank you!
I go to a chiropractor who only uses the Activator. It always helps my SI joint when it is out. Low force is definitely the way to go!
Cause of injury: chiropractic adjustment of sacro iliac. Went from a slight problem to totally blocked such that nerves were pinched, incredible pain and continued to block for weeks after... Overinflated egos lead to forced manipulations. I told the practitioner that I would not tolerate the adjustment he wanted to make but he just insisted and went on to injure me. I went back to him and he just does not listen, wanted to do the same forced manip again!
@@MsMesem "overinflated egos lead to forced manipulations" very true. I stopped doing them with clients also because it was preventing them from making the required changes to actually fix their issue.
@@thatbodymechanic An aggressive thump on the area is not going to fix a long term problem that involves muscles, tendons and fascia; that seems pretty basic to me.
@@MsMesem STOP GOING! i've been to many different chiropractors over the years and if they don't listen leave right away or you can end up messed up. I love my current chiropractor and have been with him over 9 years...i have an odd hypermobile body and he always listens and rechecks if i say something still doesn't feel right...i'm weird and my floating rip won't adjust til the rest of my body is cleared out...i go back every few weeks to be put back together again and just sent him this video to get his thoughts on it...HOpe you find a good chiropractor soon!
I'm literally crying watching this. I've struggled with this off and on for nearly 20 years, unhelped by doctors, and yes, unhelped by yoga, though I love it. My second pregnancy left me nearly incapacitated, and after years working to heal from that, I wrecked all my progress last week by sweeping up a couple of leaves. I felt like I'd failed somehow. This video will not only help me physically (I'm ordering a belt ASAP), but it's already helped me psychologically -- I HAVEN'T been abusing my body after all, I HAVE been trying to take care of myself, I AM careful. I'm just way too flexible 😅 Everyone always acted like flexibility was a good thing, and all doctors ever told me was to stretch even more 😐
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
I totally relate to your story. I keep hurting myself. Not anymore. Hopefully.
42 years of pain and I think I finally found the answer. Wow! I'm just blown away. I'm so glad I stumbled upon this video. I can't believe I finally have the answer and I may not have to live the rest of my life dealing with this pain. Thank you so much 💓
What answer did the video provide for you?
@@soniavdas Just identifying what the exact issue is and ability to find the right stretches to alleviate the pain.

Been a PT for nearly 30 years and have treated hundreds of backs, always checking for SI dysfunction day 1. Great coverage of this very common area that so many practitioners don’t take into the clinical picture. Pretty much cover all the points I cover with my patients including the one of the two SI belts I use. Also highly recommend people check out your exercise video.

I've had this three times in my life over the last 10 years and it is the most debilitating pain I have ever experienced, especially as it prevents you from being mobile. Can't stand, can't sit, can't lie down without being in pain, it's horrible. The last time I had it was last year, and I stumbled on a YT video that showed me some stretches that began improvement within a few days, and within a couple of weeks I was back to my old self.
I feel for anyone who experiences this condition and isn't able to get diagnosed and treated by a knowledgeable practitioner, it truly is hell on earth.
I agree! 100%. Well said!
I have been having pain for a few years now and over the last few months has gotten worse. I purchased the belt that you recommended and received it 3 days ago. I have not had pain in 3 days. I wish I saw this earlier, but I am really grateful for your video and the help you gave me 👍
So happy to hear you are pain free! Thank you so much for watching.
I have had MRI scans, physio, chiro and nobody could help me. Everything you have described here in this video are my symptoms that I have bee experiencing for the past 6 years. Some days I can’t even walk! It can be triggered by a simple stretch in bed when I first wake up which will cripple me for the whole day. I can’t believe I have stumbled on this video at 2am and I finally may have found a diagnosis. Thank you Dr..
I’m in the exact same position Sean. 6 years of pain. Mine occurred after a motorcycle accident. I hope you find relief. I hope I find relief myself.
I’m watching it a 1am and thinking the same, I hope this can actually help with the lower back pain. Wish you all the best of luck!

Seven years 24hours non stop pain...si joint or low back pain is hell
I'm in the UK and have had this pain for 45 years. During that time I haven't found any doctor who was able to diagnos the cause of my SI pain. I now have to use a wheelchair to be mobile during the day.
Your video has been revelatory for me. Thank you.
Hi Kate Snow,
I’m sorry that you have been dealing with pain for so many years. I am glad that you found my video on SI joint instability and that it was revelatory for you. My life purpose is to help people understand their body and how to help it feel its best. I hope you will find some relief from your pain. Take care.
sorry to hear this Kate , i am a chiropractic student and hope that a chiropractor can help you , see if you can find one trained in gonstead chiropractic :) blessings and healing to you
I think the heavens just opened up and dropped you
in my lap! Thank you Jesus thank you God for this video. I just
order this belt, now I can say goodbye to the pain I’m in.
You are so welcome Leaetta Brooks. I hope you get back to feeling 100% soon.
does it work?
I feel seen! For the first time in 15 years all the pain and discomfort I’ve felt is validated by the information provided in this video. I’ve been to numerous chiropractors, RMT’s, physiotherapy appointments and all for temporary relief but never actually treating the chronic pain for my SI joint injury. I ordered the trochanteric belt and now the Ligaplex supplements. I’m also going to do these exercises that are recommended too. I can’t wait to feel normal and mobile like I once was. Kudos to you doc for the valuable video!!
You are very welcome Deanna Daniel. I am happy and fortunate that I can help those in pain. I hope you get to feeling 100% soon.
After 27 years you have given me the answer to my extreme pain sitting standing and sleeping. Excruciating pain from a car accident that requires Fentanyl to dull but not kill the pain.
Hi Robert, I am glad our Sacroiliac joint pain video was helpful. Thank you so much for your feedback.
As an RN, I very much appreciate the teaching of anatomy and physiology which is so important for the patient before undertaking therapy. Many thanks for a most excellent channel!
Bless you Diane. RNs are great people. I have three in my family. And thank you for your kind words. I too believe that sharing the whole story is important to helping people get better and stay better. 🙏

Hi Lucyna Jacobs,
Thank you so much for your kind words. They made me smile and feel joyful. I am grateful that I can help people to better understand their body and feel better.
Thank you! I have been suffering with hip pain for years with professionals saying it’s sciatic, but I don’t have the pain in the legs, just the hip band and now the pelvis in the front! It’s so comforting to hear someone accurately explain my pain! I’ve been being manually adjusted for years and I’ll have relief for hours to weeks and then back in pain!
Try rolling a ball on your hip flexor (psoas) the access to this is in the lower abdomen in the front. It relieves allot of hip pain.
@@katybenson4172 , where is the hip flexor? What kind of ball exactly are you talking about? Thank You!
@@katybenson4172 please, can you source a link or video.
Oh sorry yes I've been doing massage for 21 years and the gun helps but really you need a softball size next to provide bone on your front side it hurts if it burns turn it is the problem just stay in it for 30 seconds and it will start to dad move around until to find another sore spot. It really works. It's the hip flexors you can only get to it from the front
It's also called the psoas.
I cried today because I am so tired of living in pain. I am hoping to find the right doctor to truly help me because its been so long, nothing is working but I have faith that it will. I will be pain free!
Try red light laser therapy too
I fell in 1977 and landed on my left hip. I've been to every conceivable practitioner with no lasting help for 45 years. I'm buying the belt. You make more sense than all of them put together. Thank you.
Thank YOU for watching Marcy Dobbs. I hope you get to feeling better soon.
I’m in a lot of pain and can’t figure out why. Going down all the routes… ran across this video and have never heard of this. On the verge of tears because this explains everything for me. Thank you sir!!
I no how u feel very thankful knowledge
I agree with you! Wish I lived near San Fran so I could go to him, but I'm in Michigan
Me too! (not being a feminist) I wish I had seen this video like 35 years ago.
I’ve had many surgeries from broken bones, torn ligaments and muscles. I’ve never had excruciating pain as my SI joint is giving me. Wasn’t able to walk for 3 months. I’m finally getting the surgery to fix it but yea never had pain like this
I was a gymnast, very flexible and have had this pain for a few years now. I'm in my 60's now. The belt is fantastic. I can't walk more than 100 ft. without. it. Thank you for addressing this condition.
Thank you so much for your feedback. I am glad the Serola belt has brought some pain relief to you.
Hello.. do you still practice
How long do you wear the belt?
It's been about two months since I discovered this video. I purchased the belt and supplement. After 6 weeks I was cured. Your diagnosis was spot on and I committed to the process. Once I properly placed the belt on. Everything changed for the better. Thanks Doc! 🙏🏿
Thank you for the comment. It is wonderful to hear that you were able to take charge of your pain and get back to feeling good! Take care.

Hi I have just discovered your videos and am feeling encouraged to try your recommendations. Like many others who have written I have suffered for 7years with SI joint pain and seen physio, doctors, chiropractors with no long term cure. I am sure I have muscle/core weakness so am very keen to purchase the trochanteric belt and ligaplex 1 supplement but cannot find the links you mentioned. Could you please send them to me. I live in NZ so hope they will ship there.
I have also noted down your exercises. Many thanks. Heather
What supplement did you take?
@@nataliadagon ligaplex2. The doctor said it was the patient choice. Wearing the belt properly is key. It's uncomfortable at first but I would wear for about 12 hours a day.
Wow!! I’ve been suffering with this for 2 years now, and I’ve tried so many things to no avail. I just found this video tonight and ordered the belt immediately. I hope it helps me too.
I have been getting adjustments 4 to 7 times a month for almost 3 years, with very short term relief. When you described symptoms I kept saying "that's me". This is the first time I felt hopeful. Thank you.
Linda, thank you so much for watching. Don't lose hope and hang in there.
Try massage instead. Thats too much adjustment too long.. they should have had you fixed. See a PT
I cannot thank you enough for sharing this priceless information. I have been suffering for the past 2 years with horrible lower back pain which radiates into my glutes and down my leg. My back went out a few months ago and I was incapacitated. My legs wouldn't work and the pain was horrific. I could not afford a trochanteric belt so I grabbed a large scarf from my closet and tied it snug around my hips where you said the belt should be placed. I've been wearing it daily for about 4 days and now the pain in my glutes, legs, and lower back is almost non-existent. I was beginning to get so depressed from the chronic pain everyday. Thank you so much for your help. I hope you are blessed beyond measure for it. ❤️
It sounds like you have been through a lot Strudlebaker. Thank you for sharing your experience. I am glad you are feeling better and I hope you get to feeling 100% soon. Hang in there.
I've had this problem since I was 15 (now 28) and several medical people have overlooked it, not even considered the SI joint. I also have hypermobility. Thank you for this video, I now know what to do about it going forward!

All Glory to Heavenly Father in all things
@@pjhoover1 Gimme a break
EXCELLENT explanation and solutions! It's pretty incredible the shear force at the SI joint. When I was a young kid, whenever I sat cross-legged, I'd feel a "thump" at my bottom but never had any pain. The first time I had pain was when I was pregnant, and in standing, I sneezed. The most incredible pain, couldn't sit/stand, going from sitting to standing and vice versa was excrutiating. Did not know at the time anything about SI joint and my OBGYN didn't mention it as a possible cause. Fast forward years of self study (and eventually going to back to school to practice PT), I now understand what happened, and why. I learned that a big factor in SI joint dysfunction can be women's hormonal cycles which cause increased ligament laxity. This is necessary during pregnancy to allow for delivery through the pelvis, but it also happens to a lesser degree during regular menstrual cycles, and it affects all ligaments in the body. They've seen that women athletes can become more injured at certain points in their cycles for just this reason. I appreciate your approach and wanted to add a bit of info to the conversation.
I’m so relieved I found you! After going to so many different providers, this video is the first thing that finally makes sense! I subscribed and thank you so much for helping us!
Hi Daisy,
That makes me really happy that you learned good stuff from my video. Thanks so much for your comment! Take care.
I am so thankful I ran across this video. I’ve been suffering with debilitating pain in my lower back, hips, and nerve pain down my legs. I’ve been to a chiropractor off and on for 30+ years, been to PT multiple times, and have had several epidurals, etc., only to have the pain come back. I’m beyond excited and very hopeful that these exercises will help me!! I was actually researching how to strengthen my core when I found you. You mentioned some of the exercises that sheared the SI joint and I had just started doing some of those lately. So I’m super thankful for your video!!!!
Try red light laser therapy helped me
I've been dealing with SI pain for over 15 years & this has been the most informational & helpful video ever! I definitely need that belt! I've been going to a pain dr since 2010 & chiropractic care off & on before then. I'm definitely going to order one! Thank you!
How do you get the strap?
@@pegday6922 video description has a link, I'm ordering one too
How can You say it was helpfull before You tried the product?
@@keto4life197 because the product was at the end and the video was incredibly informative as to what causes the pain and why. Even before the product was mentioned it was helpful and informative. Did you even watch the video?
@harrier850 You probably still need a gentle adjustment of the SI joint as described in the video. I had good luck with an excellent physical therapist who had expertise in myofascial release. We could hear a soft click as my SI joint moved back into place. I immediately felt better and can now sit again. I'm wearing the trocanter belt to allow the SI joint to now heal (ligaments to tighten). I hope this helps!
You are the only one making any sense now that I’ve been down all those dead ends.
Me too. All my chiros were useless.

I've had this pain for 30 years. Doctors, Chiropractors and Specialists never addressed this even when I told them where he pain is all the time. I ordered the belt and it will arrive tomorrow. Thank You Positive Motion Chiropractic. I also subscribed and clicked the bell for all your videos.
Hi Wayne,
I’m glad that this video resonated with you. Hopefully what you learned and using the belt will help you feel tons better. Fingers crossed!
And thanks for the subscribing!
I just saw this today and have ordered the belt. How has it gone for you so far?
I can't believe how lucky I am to have had this video come up in my feed. I have been in pain for years but the second I put on the Serola band, my pain decreased significantly. Thank you so much!
Hi Stacy,
Thank you for sharing your experience. I am so glad that the Serola SI belt helped you feel instant pain relief. What a wonderful thing! Take care.
It took me 4 years to figure out all that stuff by myself, including what’s going on with me, what is SI joint and its structure, SI joint belts, and all these, for years I’ve been searching for help, and here it put together into one short video! Bravo!
Btw, my SI joint problems started with hopping on one leg after osteomyelitis surgery (I was too lazy to use crutches). Avoid asymmetrical movements, especially bending on one leg, lifting weights on one leg etc. peace ✌️
Thank you so much. This is one of the best videos I have watched.
I have had SI joint problems for years. And years ago I made myself a belt like that because there was no Amazon.
And now I have one official one that works quite well
not only is your information in your video good, you have a very nice personality and way of speaking.❤
Thank YOU so much for your kind words and for subscribing to my channel. It means a lot to me. I hope you get to feeling 100% Gia. 🙏🏽
I just wanted to say thank you for this information… did my own research about the type a pain I was experiencing with even not being able to walk for 5 days. I couldn’t wait for this specific belt so I used an old neoprene sweat belt I had…the instantaneous relief I felt cannot be overstated. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I’m glad you found my content helpful Jaffa Monks. It makes me so happy to hear that you are already feeling better!
You hit every. single. marker. of the pain and symptoms I'm going through. This has explained so much, and I am definitely going to have to do some more research along this route and discuss with my doctor. Thank you for opening a door to a possible cause
Thanks for your in depth knowledge regarding the si ligament instability and periformis involvement. This is probably a very overlooked diagnosis and keeps patients frustrated with unnecessary chronic pain.
After at least 6 years of lower back pain, including many blockages of 3 to 4 days, many doctor consultations with the result "there is nothing wrong with your back" I was so hopeless that the internet became my friend. That's how I came across your website and after watching a video about SI problems I knew "This is what's wrong with me"! I immediately ordered the SEROLA belt and started the exercises and felt that this was correct! After 5 weeks of constantly wearing the belt I was able to do everything I could before the pain started six years ago ... incredible!!! I am eternally grateful and thank you for giving me my life back.
This made me so happy to read. I am glad you found my content helpful and that you are back to doing the things you couldn't. Thank you for sharing your story. Take care.
I have suffering since I was 18 I'm in my 40s now. This explains my pain perfectly. It also causes pain in my knees like I need to stretch or massage them. Thanks for the lessons I'll start moving toward a more pain free lifestyle.
I let my problem go for this long and it began to feel as though tissue around left knee was being torn upward toward my groin, as my pelvis tilted down to the right. I used a cain off/on for more than 2 years. Over 2 years of 11 rolfing sessions, regular Network Spinal Analysis + some gentle adjustments, and semi-regular accupuncture/aggressive massage has been doing wonders.
Hi Tom,
I'm sorry to hear that you have been suffering for so long. But it sounds like you have a great attitude and that you are searching for ways to educate yourself towards a more pain-free lifestyle. That is wonderful. Best of luck to you on your journey and thank you for your comment!
Hi Tee Dee,
Musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction when ignored can develop many compensations. I find in my practice that the longer something has gone on the more work there is to unravel the compensations and get to the root cause the pain. It sounds like you've had quite a ride with your pelvis, groin, and left knee pain. It sounds like you have found some things that are really working for you and that makes me very happy. Here's to a pain-free 2021!
Same! I am a nurse and dont know what else to do...ready to stand on my head over here. Mine started from sleigh riding (ironic!) and 15 yrs of gymnastics. Pain is always there but is at an 8 rn.
This is exactly what I've been suffering from in the past 18 months. Thank you .
Me too!!! I saw a lot of different chiros and NONE of them mentioned this!
I'm glad that my video on SI joint pain resonated with you. I hope you feel better soon!
That was the best information I have ever gotten! I have suffered with this for over 8 years so many Chiropractic appointments and never had an SI diagnosis. This makes complete sense for all my pain issues! Thank you so much for this video!
Hi Nettie,
You are certainly welcome! Thank you for your comment and I hope you will be able to heal fully and be pain free soon!
have you tried any of this yet ??
Seriously, Thank you thank you! I have h-eds and all the fun that comes with that gumby life. I've seen so many doctors complaining of pain in si joint= mri, xrays(flexing), epidurals or dr focusing solely on my L4/5 fusion and/ scar tissue and excusing my complaints. So i turned to UA-cam and thankfully here is this gentleman who actually addresses hypermobility as an issue with it. Thank you for the advice. I'm in the valley so i might just come out to the bay for a visit.
I have been suffering from debilitating pain in my SI area for the last 5 years. I have been hospitalized several times due to this condition and have had numerous scans and mri’s and have had so many injections and treatments to no avail. I had almost given up hope of ever enjoying life fully again without pain. Until, I saw your video!! I am only 2 days into wearing the belt and my pain has already DRAMATICALLY improved! I will check back in and update you in two weeks. I finally have hope 😢❤
Arnold, thank you for sharing your story. I’m sorry you have gone through so much pain. I hope that you will continue to find relief and that 2024 will be your best year yet! Take care and thank you again for sharing. 🙏🏼

@@arnoldharvey293 Amazing! I have to admit I've already felt an improvement after only 2 days of wearing this belt. I don't even care if it's a placebo, it seems to be working. To think of the thousands I've spent on therapies since it happened... Incredible that nobody I've come across yet apart from Dr. Brant knows about this? Like, it truly baffles me.
Sorry, this is so long I didn’t know how else to explain what had happened in 50 years. This was the best video that could have come along. You did a wonderful job explaining SI so it was really easy to understand.
I’ve never heard of this even though I’ve dealt w it since 7th grade. I turned 60 this year. Trauma at the park running around fell on the edge of the sidewalk, perfectly landed on my coccyx. Took months to sit properly and years to watch a movie in a theater all the way. Through the years I’ve had problems with lower back, neck, shoulders, sciatic pain, degenerative disease, osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. In 10th grade woke up for school and could not move neck in severe pain. Had acupuncture back then in a very small town. Chiropractors at neighbor going to school saw due to neck and lower back SI. Since then it’s been chiropractors, doctors, MRI’s, CT’s, physical therapy over and over for many years.The pain is always there especially in lower region as you showed “SI”, tailbone, lower back, neck, shoulders and headaches.
My right side is out now and very painful even without the touch. Painful to sit have tried many different devices. Looking for something new. I've been using heat and ice for years forgot about that tried every cream and pad on the market. Nothing helps. While your getting treated maybe some relief when they quit it starts all over. Rehabilitation worked and they tried electrical stimulation. After it quits working. If I brush my teeth, wash dishes, run errands, wash clothes, pick something up my SI flares up. Then my sciatic flares up. Had a few strokes so over the years this has not helped in the nerve area. The left side from hip down to me toes gives me problems. Stand to long or on feet to long then my back, legs and feet hurt worse than having three babies natural. I’m in severe pain all the time. I’m tired of it and if what your talking about will help this would be my miracle. So thank you. I forgot to write your name down my bad I’ll do that after this long post. Take care and many blessings!
Just ordered my belt on Amazon & praying this helps. The chronic pain is unreal whether sitting, standing, walking or laying in bed. I’ve been doing yoga & no relief & now I understand why 😔 Thank you❤️
Did it help?
I did end up ordering a belt and yes it did help way more than I expected. The one I bought was kinda poor quality and I ended up sending it back to Amazon but because I know it will help I'm going to eventually order a name brand serola belt as they seem to be better constructed. But I had improvement in pain after only wearing it for 2 weeks and the one from Amazon was only $30 and can be sent back if it doesn't help.
@@yeikes how do you feel now??? Did the belt get rid of all pain??
Wow, this was enlightening. I’ve been dealing with SI joint issues for decades, they worsened during pregnancy almost 22 years ago. I recently started a yoga program and found the condition worsen, after watching this it now makes sense why. I’ve contemplated a return back to a chiropractor but will take a look at the SI belt and your recommendations. Thank you very much.
I had my baby 23 years ago and the Dr told me if I wanted to have another baby I would be on bed rest for the whole pregnancy or they would have to move my screws nope because of that injury I chose to never have anymore kids
I suggest you Google EDS (Ehlers Danlos Syndrome) hypermobile type. Female hormones can increase ligament laxity which is why so many women have issues with load bearing joints during pregnancy (also during certain times through menstrual cycle).
It’s not too uncommon to break your coccyx during pregnancy, as well.
I’m suffering from a broken coccyx and all of the surrounding muscles and ligaments that have been affected, including SI instability.
Good luck

That is exactly what I did too!
Did it help you?
After watching this, im almost 95% sure this is what I've been dealing with for the last several years. Ive tried chiropractors, massage therapy, and x-rays. Thank you so much for the very informative and detailed video!
I cannot express my gratitude for your video in words. I have been in so much pain for 8 years (I am 25 years old). The pain extends from the tips of my toes all the way to my head. My whole right side is numb and it hurts a lot. It started of with pain in only my leg and after a year the pain also went up my body. And the source of the pain radiates from my SI joint. I have been to so many specialists over the years and did so many scans, no one knew what was going on. I was told the pain must be psycho somatic. But now I know better. I can finally heal because I know what is wrong.
Thank you so much, you literally changed my life ❤
OMG this is EXACTLY the pain I’ve been having for months (and years actually on and off) and currently going to PT for after my X-ray came back negative! Thank for this video and helpful information!!
Man!!! This makes so much sense. I had two slip and falls in two years. When I finally went to PT for knee pain, I came out of it with bursitis in my right hip. After suffering for 3 years (including chiropractic adjustments), I’ve finally began to understand that my weak glute meds and core were the real culprits.

So happy to hear that you are feeling better! Thank you so much for watching.
Was disgnosed with this years ago. I remember the injury when I was between 5 and 7 (slipped on stairs, landed on one buttock). My father told me to get up and quit crying, when I NEEDED to have it immediately put back into place. Instead, I was left to grow into adulthood with bad body imbalance, and popping, painful hip. Put on trochanter belt and my muscles were SO tired! But chiropractor did not want me getting one. THANK YOU!!!
You are welcome Andrea. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I hope you get to feeling 100%!
Wow. After years with back/ hip issues I was referred to a pain mgmt This was the diet time SI came up and suggested I wear a belt. Beautiful!!!! What a difference!!! Still have issues with L3-L5 but at least I can walk again with reduced hip pain….and I am a walker!! Thanks for explaining further
Thank you so much for this video. I’ve been having chiropractic for years for sciatic. I moved to Canada from Washington 8 yrs ago. I’ve been having the side twisting adjustment but it makes it worse so now I know what to ask for, plus with your exercises I now have hope to get pain free. ❤❤❤
Glad it was helpful Carla Pogson! I hope you get to feeling better soon! Take care.
I have had MRIs and been to three different PTs, this video explains my situation almost perfectly. Thank you! I can't wait to discuss this with my Healthcare team and get that belt!
So glad I found these videos. I bought an SI belt and I was able to go for a pain free walk, something I have not been able to do for years. Annoyed my pain management doctor never told me about this. Thank you for posting.❤
I am currently being treated for this due to hypermobility and, as your patients say, I have been looking for a belt support for when it feels particularly unstable so thank you for the tip.
I loved this video. Very informative and interesting. I have had this pain for almost 2 years. Went to 3 different physio therapists and, only recently, one said it was the sij. Thank you
Hi Luisa,
I’m glad that you found my video to be helpful. I’m sorry that you have been in pain for so long and that your therapists only recently discussed your sacroiliac joint. Hopefully you will get back to feeling 100% soon. Take care!
Wow! I think you've identified a problem i've have for a long time. All the symptoms you've described are mine. I'm 75 and thought i might need a hip replacement. I'm eager to move ahead now with proper healing now that I know what it is. Thanks!!!
Hi Robert Dryden,
I’m glad that you found the video helpful and that it resonated. There can be many different causes of pain and educating ourselves about the body is always beneficial. I hope that you will feel better and that you have many more years of great mobility and youthfulness. Take care!
Omg every single word you've said has absolutely described the pain I've had for months. I've had my pelvis realigned. I've had trigger points dry needed. I've done so many isometric workouts for my glutes. I've had an MRI that discovered a bulging L4-L5 disc, which I've started to fix after some red flag symptoms and after ALL OF THAT, I still had sacroiliac pain. I've felt like I've been going mad reading and watching videos around it and discovering the sheer amount of tendons in the area and thinking, "but the edges of my glutes feel weak.... could that be my tendons?" I've just used a regular damn belt, and the pain has just stopped as I've stood up. Proper belt coming in the morning. I'm going to the doctor with this info ASAP. Thank you so much!
You are welcome. Thank YOU for sharing your story, sounds like you have been going through a lot. I hope that this is the start to your pain free journey. Take care.
Thank you so much for this wonderful video. My heart goes out to everyone who has so much pain. I've had my pain for only 3 months but it has completely stopped my world. The video explains my pain exactly. I had to use stairs the other day because an escalator was broken. I was crying in pain after three levels. I took the elevator down. I just ordered both products. Thank you for putting a link using Amazon. I'll have my products in 2 days. Many blessings 🙏
I’m glad that my video on SI joint pain resonated with you. I am sorry to hear you have been in pain. I hope you feel better soon. Thank you so much for watching and commenting.
Thank you so much! This is the most simple, but thorough explanation of SI joint pain that I’ve seen. It has given me so much hope after years of pain. Thank you!
YOU EXPLAINED EXACTLY THE SYMPTOMS I’M SUFFERING FOR MANY YEARS AFTER FALLING AND BOUNCING ON MY BUTTOCKS GOING DOWNSTAIRS, OF COURSE I DID’NT NOTICED HARSH PAIN JUST AFTER THE ACCIDENT...
I’m glad that you found an answer to the cause of your SI and back pain after watching my video. I hope that with this knowledge you will be able to get back to feeling 100% and pain-free.
José, I just commented with that same exact story ! Twelve years ago I mistepped and bounced my butt down the stairs too! I've never even heard of the SI Joint. In fact, I'm not even sure how I came across those video and started watching it. Lol.
Everything you said is absolutely perfect about the pain I went thru for months. I had the x-rays and MRIs and ultrasounds and nobody could find out what it was. The girl that does my Fashah Massage said that she doesn’t believe it’s my sciatic, but it was my sacroiliac joint. She recommended I go to a chiropractor. I was terrified of going to a chiropractor, because I don’t like things that pop, especially on me. He introduced me to the drop table, and on the very first visit I was able to walk again without the pain. I’ve gone to him about five times so far in the last month, but each time I can go longer without having to go see him again. I’m on day seven and I feel terrific. I truly believe this is helping. And I can only pray that in time. I’ll be able to do strengthening exercises and won’t need to go to the chiropractor. just to be able to walk to the car without crying or be able to make my own bed or do laundry or do dishes is truly a blessing. I feel like there’s hope now. Thank you for this video. I am sharing it with several people and family members.
Thank you so much for sharing your journey. It sounds like you have been through a lot but finally on the wayto living pain free.🙏🏼 Glad you found my content helpful. Take care.
This was so helpful. I couldn’t understand what might have caused my pain, until you mentioned taking a step down when you’re not expecting it. I did exactly that on our stairs at home…missed the bottom step and hit the landing driving my right leg straight up. Never thought a thing about it afterwards, but now it all makes sense. Definitely going to try the belt…right now I can’t stand up or walk around for more than 10 or 15 mins without really bad pain in my hip and leg. It gets to the point where I can barely walk.
same here but it's been going on for so long I thought it was period pain and related to endometriosis attached to my hip cavity and bowels - I have since been referred to a pain management clinic where he suspects SI and I am having the SI joint anesthetised in a few days and if that stops the pain I will move on to Physio - this had been getting worse for 15 years - unreal if the pain clinic is right
Dont give UP!!! It will get better...You have to figure it out with helpfull hints like from this DR...HEAL!!!
@@Adrienneten I'm so glad I read your comment. I was telling my doctor the doctor about my pain and I was so concerned it was related to my ovaries or menstrual cycle, but yet it felt like joint pain too. I thought I was crazy. Curious to hear how your SI joint anesthesia works for you
I plan to discuss this with my chiropractor. So far any relief I have gotten is temporary at best. Thanks for the info. I've watched dozens of videos and no one has talked about this type of issue before. Makes perfect sense.
I am in awe that this is the first video I have found of this ah-ha moment.
Hi R Davis,
I’m glad that my video on SI joint pain and instability resonated with you. I hope that working with your chiropractor that you will be able to get back to feeling 100% in short order. Take care!
Good video. So to be clear, there is a difference between the sacrum/pelvis being out of alignment vs. the si joints being stretched too much. Both present similiarly but they have different treatments. First you have to see if your pelvis is out of alignment, then stabilize it, and hold in place with the belt and stability exercises. However, if you have overstretched the ligaments, which can happen thru vigorous exercise, dance, not necessarily trauma, then the key is to rest, use ice, and use the serola belt. When the pain stops, then you can start the strengthening exercises. I love my serola belt and it helps bring more awareness to movement in that area. It has taken me years to figure all this out...hope it helps someone.
Thank you
Hi @ArielPaz08 - your explanation is fantastic. What a great summary!
@@PositiveMotionChiro Thank you! We are all in this together. Have a great day!
You've said EVERYTHING I've been experiencing for years, now I know what's wrong. Thank you so much. Love from the UK!
This is one of the most helpful explanations I have seen. I have been involved in back injury prevention as a safety professional and risk manager since 1978, including dozens of workshops, seminars and hundreds of hours of training. Especially appreciated your careful explanation of how a person can do things they "think" or feel makes them better, when it only lasts a short time. I also appreciate your caution against high force "hear the crack" manipulation in this particular injury. Lax joints really don't need more stressful motions pulling them apart. Thank you very much.
Two days of wearing the SI joint belt and I have for the first time experienced no pain standing or driving, better sleep, less muscle tension in back, hips and legs. You have described to a tee everything that I have been experiencing for the last 3 years while doctors kept telling me there was nothing wrong with me and chiropractor, massage, accupuncture provided temporary relief. Without going into the details of my entire 3 year saga, I just can't believe that no one ever mentioned this belt to me, though I always pointed to the exact spot between lower back and buttocks to every single health practitioner. So, thank you. I am quite sure that I have SI joint instability which now begs the question:
1) can I do stretching and strengthening exercises with the belt on, or should I even continue exercising while wearing the belt? Is it better to take a couple of weeks and let the belt alone hopefully allow for area to heal?
2) Which stretching exercises release tension in lower back, buttocks and hips, but do not worsen frayed or loose SI ligaments?
3) Which glute strengthening exercises do not irritate sciatic nerve causing more muscle tension and pain in area, creating a need for more stretching in what seems like an endless loop, while possibly worsening the SI instability?
Much gratitude 🙏
Same problems, did you find your answers?
Looks like the dr is not going to answer..
@@talenthunt750 I am still figuring it out. There are a few theories in my case. One that the back pain while standing seems to be caused by back muscles tightening, taking over for weak core muscles, causing an exaggerated curve of lower back. Belt eases the pain so that back muscles don't need to work so hard to keep me standing. But seems like, at least in my case, no other way out but to strengthen glutes and core muscles. Must be correct exercises so that back doesn't tighten even more, i.e. only exercises that keep back fully touching the floor, not tightening back more. Also practicing tucking in the the tail bone while standing and engaging core muscles. Hope this helps you. If not, keep searching and listening to your body.
@@minafl1 oh! but i've diagnosed AS 4 days ago cause I'm hla b27 positive . It's in early stage (nr axspa) though . You should do a hla b27 test if you feel stiffness in morning . Whatever, take it seriously , early diagnosis can save your life, God bless
@@talenthunt750 thank you! I will ask my doctor! 🙏
Thank you so much for putting this video out there. A colleague put her own belt on me yesterday (I’ve now ordered one for myself!) and the INSTANT relief was amazing. Best video I’ve ever watched on SI pain. You’ve explained what I felt all along when the muscle is swollen and I honestly felt the ligaments “ping” as they catch, it can render me frozen for about 30 seconds the pain is so bad. Thank you a thousand times. Much gratitude from the UK. ❤❤❤
You are so welcome Ash Sara. It makes me happy to know that you found my video helpful and that you are feeling better. Thank YOU for watching and sharing your feedback. Take care.
Such an informative explanation of SI joint issues. Thank you for such informative information.
Thankyou so much, this has given me grief for 12 months on and off. This is exactly what i have and my physio agrees. My passion is motorcycles and lawn bowls and as soon as I ride my bikes and hit pot holes I'm back to square one. Feeling a glimmer of hope after watching your video.
I am glad you found my content helpful! Thank you so much for watching and sharing your experience. I hope you are able to ride your bike pain free soon!
When are you coming to the Islands,of TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO . I'll be waiting ANXIOUSLY
