Back in the Fall I had 2 separate incidents of my SI joint dislocating. This video has been immeasurably helpful for strengthening and stabilizing it. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Awww so sorry! I completely understand! I battle with mine weekly! So glad this video is helping. Just go at your own pace, it will take time but your core and lumbar spine will strengthen and you'll have less dislocations and pain. Reach out if you need anything!
I’ve been in agony with my back for days and this is a miracle! Can really feel my muscles engaging too. Do you have anything that would help tight/unstable shoulders and neck at all? Love these videos thank you.
Hi! Did you watch the one that included shoulder exercises? I think it may be with the "Winging Scapula" one, it includes the lat exercises that help with shoulder issues. I'll add that to my list. I am shooting a bunch of videos in April for EDS so I will make sure to put some shoulder exercises in one. Glad you're feeling better!
Hi Kelly , I want your help ,I have hypermobile left sacroiliac joint which cause me pain and stiffness in lower back , they told me the aim of treatment to strength the muscle without stretching because stretching will increase the problem , so please can you tell me about some exercise that aim to strength muscle but without cause stretching or movement of sacroiliac !? Is this exercise helpful , I do some of it but I feel like it cause my joint to move more and cause me pain , thanks in advance ❤️N.B iam from Egypt so I would glad if you help me because iam far away 🙈
Hi Esraa- Sorry you're having SI joint instability. It is correct that you need to strengthen the muscles around the joint to stabilize it, but it moves all time when you bend over, walk, sit etc. So you have to strengthen your core first to make your lower back stronger. So extension work and everything you see in this video is for strengthening but you have to keep your core tight and not over stretch, that's what Pilates teaches you so I would stick to the first 3-4 exercises in this video for a while. Just do Pelvic curls and tilts once or twice a day for up to 10 reps if you feel you're ok to do them and just slowly build as you gain strength. It takes a while and it doesn't come quick. Pilates is slow and everyone has their own pace, flexibility and strength to work with. It's hard for me to help you without not seeing you do the movements, just always make sure to keep your belly button to the spine the whole time with all exercises and give yourself some grace and time. It took me over 3 years to rehabilitate my neck, my lower back is still an ongoing thing. It really has to be a lifestyle change. If you want to chat more email me kellyhughesroberts@gmail.com. It maybe easier to chat there. Hope this helps! Sorry it's so hard to teach with social media and not in person. Hope this gives a little more guidance!
At the part where it's labeled as "roll over" where you're on your stomach and lifting your head/shoulders off the mat: whenever I do this I get INTENSE lower rib pain. I'm assuming that's not normal? Should I just skip those kinds of exercise or would you happen to have any tips?
Ok so you can either skip it or you n modify it and break it down. So keep your feet to the floor and your forehead and just glide your fingertips towards your toes without lifting and see if that keeps the pain away. If not I would skip it for a while and then maybe in a couple weeks come back to it. Never push through it if you're in major pain, but see if that modification helps at all and when you get stronger try to life an inch or two and then build from there. Hope that helps! Let me know!
Can you please give me the names of these exercises? I want to be able to keep track and name what I’m doing for my rehab specialist and physical therapist.
Hey Katie, NO you're not engaging your core enough and that's why you're getting into your back. Your lower abs connect to your lower back like a rubberband so when you pull your pelvic floor up and in, it stabilizes the lower back. Make sure your hips are tilted forward towards the mat, so your pubic bone and hip bones should be pushing into the mat. Make sure to lift with your core and not just shoot straight up. Go slow, stabilize and isolate those muscles. Hope this helps! So hard to talk it through and not be able to see how to correct anyone when they feel they're not doing it right. Let me know if I can help anymore or if you have more questions! X

oh my god, doing exercises laying down instead of forcing myself to do hiit workout routines standing up does wonders for my POTS and hEDS
Glad it helped! Yea HIIT workouts hurt me a lot too. Pilates in the only thing I do now.
Really nice routine, I can feel the difference immediately! Great instructions on what muscle group to engage.
Thanks! :) Love that you immediately got results!
This was a really good class!

All of them? I should call most of them out
When I’m doing the exercises I feel it pulling on the sides of my back. Is this right? I feel like I’m doing everything wrong. :(
