Thanks for watching the video 🔺Sacroiliac Joint Stabilization for Pain Relief | Do's & Don'ts
I’ve dealt with si joint pain for 13 years (not knowing what was wrong until a couple weeks ago, before that I’d never heard of si joint pain) and I was to the point I couldn’t walk cause it felt like my hips were broken. I couldn’t lay down to sleep without it shooting up and down my hips, legs and back. I bought a si joint belt from serola and my wife helped me put it on and I stood up and all the pain was gone. The muscles on each side of my spine in my lumbar area stopped hurting and wasn’t tight anymore. The pain was gone just like that after 13 years of dealing with it. Over the last 13 years I’d had 9 mri’s, several X-rays, spine shots, pain meds, tons of physical therapy and chiro visits and 3 consults with neuro surgeons and none of them mention my si joints. I found out about si joints by watching videos online and took a chance and ordered a si joint belt.
Could not agree more👍 Trying a high quality pelvic belt will tell you almost immediately if you have an instability problem. Is the pain coming from the joints themselves or did lumbar nerve impingement start the fight between the 2 regions is the challenging part if you have both. It’s a process of elimination and a belt is a very cost effective measuring stick.
@@matth2340 before I got the serola belt, I used a old ace adjustable lumbar brace but I wore it along my hip bone down across my butt to almost my tail bone it did better than the serola belt in my opinion. The serola belt is only about 3” wide but the ace lumbar is 5” wide and the adjustable straps goes more around the front to where the adjustment straps on the serola only goes to the sides. The ace belt gives me more relief than the serola belt
@@matth2340 well I find that a ace lumbar belt does better around my hips than the serola belt. The ace belt is 7” in width which holds my hips together a lot better than the serola which I think is 3”. The ace belt has adjustment straps that come all the way to the front of the pelvis and the serola straps only go to the sides of the hips so the serola doesn’t seem to provide near enough support. I feel a lot less pain when I wear the ace around my hips
Strengthening core muscles, which includes pelvic floor exercises helps so much with SI joint pain. Be sure to tuck the lower back when performing exercises
If you don't strengthen every muscle involved, you'll have to use those belts forever and they will further deteriorate and get weaker and weaker!
Why encourage dependency? Please try to strengthen and get better!
40 years of Si pain, I solved it by strengthening the small glutes, Medias and Minimus with the simple side scissor. If the small glutes are not firing the pelvis will not stay in a normal position. Get the small glutes to fire and the large glute will also fire.
Can you suggest small glute moves. Specify? I might need these.
R u saying lay on your side and lift the leg up and lower it back down?
A dog healed my tailbone ..
Not joking.😊
@@supertrucker99do tell - you can’t just leave that comment without any explanation! 😊
@@tereyes5633would also be interested if you have a minute to explain. Ty
Hi, I’m a PT as well, have been dealing with chronic SI instability off and on for about 10 years and it’s gotten more frequent recently. I’m doing everything we learned in school and you’re right - it’s a LONG process. It helped just hearing that from a fellow PT today so thank you for that!
Fantastic clip/ great animation/ loved the analogy with the arch building block and the sacrum wedge shape!!! So appealing to a structural engineer like myself - and the orientation of fibers in the muscles being perpendicular to the SI joint - much like carbon fiber laminates running perpendicular to cracks in reinforced concrete structures! So appreciated your comment that these joints are not to be manipulated - and that ligament healing takes time and one needs to be patient!!! Absolutely the best clip on SI joint instability and how to heal and render the patient pain free!!! Thank you🌺😌
My ache in the SI joint come and goes. This is a very well explained video. My flare up is when the muscles in the lower back 'give up' or fatigue and go into a spasm. So i cant hold the weight of my upper body. Cant turn in bed. Sit to standing move almost impossible. Stabilisation is my way out of this traumatic situation. Its learning what not to do . This is key for me.
the turning in bed is so relatable - excruciating pain just trying to rotate body!
20 some friggin years of adjustments after a car accident and disc herniations, loss of strength and balance and falls and repeated, increasing deepening agony from simply bending over, turning sideways, lifting a bag from the floor, sleeping. Then, the popping, finding a stretch that made it stopped for even a few minutes. Staring at anatomy books. Watching UA-cam videos. ANYTHING to understand why I can barely climb a stair the moment my pelvis gets tilted, or get out of a chair, or walk the dog. Constant sciatica one day, gone the next, back again, crazy. And, ever increasing stabbing pain in my sacrum relieved by the bridge IF, IF, big IF I did it just perfect. Now finally I understand. Now I can find a path forward and understand to be careful, mindful, and heal instead of always having to be hyper-careful to simply move out of worry that I would make my pelvis all cascade in pain. A loose ligament. Of course! Now I remember when I injured it after the accident compensating for the herniation. Bless you CBT kind person. Bless you. I will find and watch the video on how to really do the bridge. And, begin the muscle balancing.
I hope u find answers ❤😊
Get PRP injections for your SI joint ligaments, I did it and I'm way way better now. I had 12 years of your pain you described.
As always, you explain things in a very good and understandable way
One of best talk and educational videos I have heard on this subject. Thank you so much
Thanks for sharing. I am about a year in of doing the right things and avoiding a lot of the wrong things. The time line is great to hear.
Great video. Excellent job of communicating the problem and remedy. October 10 I suddenly had acute, severe, debilitating right-sided pain. I'm 68 and have always been hypermobile but never experienced this problem before. No medical treatment alleviated the pain. I watched "700" UA-cam videos and diagnosed myself, bought an SI belt and a giant ice pack. Those two things and time got me functional. I am still aware of it, but just low-grade pain. Going to get busy bridging daily. Thank you so much. Your video is the BEST! Subscribed!
Best images and explanation ever! Thank you 🙏
Honestly 7 months in i want to ssy thank you for your explanation..you are a gem
This is the best explanation I have seen on the anatomy of the SIJ and one I wish I saw 20 years ago before hundreds of chiropractic manipulations and most recently bilateral SIJ and also lumbar fusions. Lumbar nerve impingement definitely created uneven torque in the beginning. Getting onto these instability issues early in life is the key. Great video and graphics are exceptional.
I am so thankful I came across your video, because you shed a new light on the anatomy around the SI that none of the doctors or specialists I had seen in the past had ever shared with me.
So thank you for explaining the SI in such a simple way that made so much sense about the SI joint and how its meant to remain stabilized/kept in place the way you did.
Again, thank you so much. I am gunna get started on foing that exercise you recommended to do to strengthen and balance out the SI.
You gave me hope now of getting some long awaited relief for me that I hadn't had since 2008.
Thank you again... ❤❤🥰😃😃
This was amazing. I've been trying to research this pain and this gave me a straight starting point. Thank you!
I appreciate you too. I had SI pain that was getting worse until I discovered your channel. The first video for me was when you pointed at the top of your hip and said if you have pain right here, it is likely that your SI joint is causing the pain. That was the exact spot I had pain. I was sitting wrong, standing wrong and favouring my right side over my left. I was advised by others to do stretches, which one of your videos said to stop immediately. I stopped them, corrected my imbalanced posture, and faithfully followed your advice for the bridges. My pain is gone in less than 3 months and I continue with the daily bridges etc... This most video recent was an excellent presentation. Thank you for the time you spend making them.
Hi Michael, thank you so much for sharing your journey with us. Your words mean a lot, and knowing that our channel has helped you find relief from your SI joint pain fills us with gratitude. It's stories like yours that inspire Dr. Ryan to continue going. We're absolutely thrilled to hear about your progress. Your success has been a direct reflection of your diligence and commitment to healing. Keep up the great work! 😊
Nest, most comprehensive explanation on UA-cam!❤ THANK you!
Thank you for a detailed description & visuals, really helpful in my healing process.
This was SO helpful and encouraging. The doctor/chiropractor I've been seeing figured out that my pain is caused by my SI joint, but he doesn't seem to know how to properly treat it and the pain continues to get worse. It is now so intense that I've had to take time off of work. This video is the first encounter that helped me to feel hopeful that this pain can be healed! And that the treatment is less complicated than I expected. Thank you so much for this video!
Very good visuals and explanations - very clear
may i tell you this is the best explanatory video ive ever seen on SI joints! Thank you!
I have pain there loong years and im being manipulated by chiropractors. I am on a long holiday now and my pain is going lower. it makes sense
Thank you You are amazing and the way you explain it takes time . Understood 😊
Great explanation!
Very motivating too as I now know exactly what to work on. Thank you.
Excellent learning video!
Great anatomy visuals!
Thank you!
I fell in September and had severe coccyx pain and SI pain. I now have groin pain and LBP when I stand too long or attempt stairs. This was a wonderful explanation of the SI joint and all it's amazing anatomy. Thank you for this video.
I have been having this pain on and off since I was pregnant with my second son, during the latter stages of that pregnancy I could barely walk without pain. It has come and gone for 21 yrs and recently, due to a very pully labrador and a few falls on ice etc, it has got really bad. ThenI wentto an NHS physio. BAD MOVE. He tried to do a manipulation which not only hurt the SI joint in question (RS) but also very mch aggravated the bulging disc(s) on the other side causing 10 times as much pain. I saw an osteopath at huge expense who didn't really do anything but cause more pain and prod my back a bit, and no suggestions for exercise. I'm now trying to do my own research and collate the exercises that are recommended the most.
This is the first video to really explain this process and actually get into the nuts and bolts of the problem. I believe that the joint IS meant to move but only in women and for the purposes of a tiny amount of flexibility through childbirth and doesn't always go back together properly or remains aggravated. (Hence why it seems to occur most frequently amongst older women, according to my research so far).
Anyway, thanks for this great information, I feel like I'm FINALLY getting somewhere and there is a slight hope that this pain isn't going to be the main feature of the remaining 20 - 30 years of my life.
Sorry you're dealing with the SI joint pain, I noticed unusual joint movements on my right side during pregnancy 19 years ago, there wasn't any pain until years later when I had a 2 hour commute, pelvic and core muscle were really weak. Now strength training was my answer to everything, not stretching, not medication, I believe in holistic approach. Bulgarian split squats and intuitively I put my feet up on the wall while supine pull my pelvic up hold it 20 seconds relax repeat, more challenging with one leg, keep the other leg up but not on the wall.
Thank you so very much. I have struggled with SI joint pain for over a year now and everything I tried has failed...even to the point of impacting my sleep on a nightly basis. Your explanations of the physiology, along with a reaffirmation of the bridge and bridge/belt techniques, are really helpful!
I think I have SI joint pain. I’m recovering from a 6 week stretch of very painful sciatica, and now my lower back feels as if it’s fused together. Thank you for this explanation
Most revealing advices .thank u ❤
Thanks for the great content as always. I suffered the entire last year from left SI joint pain and started working on CBT from last summer. now I have virtually no pain. to this day, I still do the main movements that helped me the most from CBT, starting off with anchor-related movements to loaded squat and hinges. I found that unilateral exercises such as split squat or single leg hinges also help you to focus on stabilizing the weak side of your body when you have side to side imbalance.
The work you are doing really saved my life! Keep up the great work Ryan!
Good to hear.
His bad did your pain get?
Did it ever stop you walking unaided?
Hi Won, thank you so much for sharing your journey with us! We really appreciate your kind words and gratitude. It's wonderful to hear that the program has made such a positive impact on your life and helped with your SI joint pain. Way to incorporate the principles into your ongoing routine! We're honored to have played a part in your health journey, and so grateful to have had you in the program! 🙏
Your explanation of how the muscles work was perfect for a lay person to understand. I tore SI ligaments at work in the 80’s and was off work for a full year with physio. As I’ve aged I really notice issues with that area in my back (not to mention arthritis).
Thanks for a great video
Excellent...very educational. Thank you.
Thank you so much for the video it’s very helpful 👏👏
I’ve suffered from both my SI joints being hyper mobile and in pain for 5 years now. I injured myself doing a low impact cardio workout 3 months postpartum with my 5th baby and never recovered. About two years into the injury I finally went to get help and saw 3 different PTs over the course of two years with no relief. Your video brought up some good points and I’m going to try to remain positive and change my approach.
Thank you for a very educational & helpful video!
Very sound medical advice. I need to continue to strengthen my glutes as a regular part of my exercise routine. Thank you!
Thank you, Brooks Koepka (jk -but seriously). Been dealing with a nagging SI issue within my right side that has that sensation of needing to POP when i lean/bend of anything of that sort.
Thank you for this!
I love the bridge and its so important i agree but Ive had SI joint pain subside with 1-3 days doing:
Nucca atlas adjustment
Seeing a Erik Dalton Myoskeletal alignment
Therapist for the SI joint
Alignment series
Sometimes a drop table alignment at a regular chiropractor.
Wishing everyone fast healing.
TY for your earlier helping video. I subbed for maybe future back and SI problems.. Love your PRO info
Great information. Thank you!
A chiropractor completely wrecked my left SI joint when being adjusted for my right SI joint! Listen to the Dr. DONT get an adjustment!!!
You have been adjusted by an individual who did not know how to properly stabilize you pelvis. Not all Chiros do the same. Try to find a Chiropractor with a good working knowledge & experience in the Sacro-Occipital Technique, “SOT.”
And Re: getting an adjustment for this condition by a Chiropractor. Seriously look into and research the technique Sacro-Occipital Technique, “SOT.” It’s a more complicated technique, but uniquely address the issue.
@@dr.stephenflorezdc6358 actually he also severely irritated or even damaged my spinal nerve roots. I have had several spinal surgeries, which he knew well. He caused weakness in my calf and a lot of pain in my S1 nerve as well.
No one who has had spinal surgery or who has any disc or nerve problems should go within a mile of a chiropractor.
@@dr.stephenflorezdc6358 My problems got worse after adjustment too. I think this video is correct and in most cases they need to be stabilized rather than adjusted. I got temporary relief with mild tingling, but then started getting lots of tingling, especially after trying to stretch the area.
Me too 😢
Thank you so much for this video, the problematic with the joints is so well explained, I did not hear this before.
Since my accident, nobody told me where is the origin of my pain and low mobility, bad posture. Now since a few weeks, I do myself some exercises. I did not get any explanation from the physiotherapist before but the pain is exactly there in the joints, which are now after a few years very stiff and painful, leading to an overall bad body posture😅. I still hope to improve.
Makes complete sense now! A few years ago o tore a glute and pulled that hamstring… causing periformis syndrome! Here turns out I’ve been healing it all wrong and caused si joint pain there
Thank you so much sir!
Hi Dr. Ryan. I have focused on fitness my whole life but lost my motivation during covid. In November, I got back on track with a personal trainer which was great. I believe deeply in Chiropractic and use it as part of my annual self-care. However, I had some SI joint pain and did what I'm hearing you say NOT to do. I got it adjusted 3 weeks ago. The next day was brutal. I've been working on education and strengthening for 3 weeks now but wanted to get your feedback on the best program of yours to start with to go full core support. I'm so grateful for your content and dedication to low back health 🙏
What about arthritis in the SI joints?
Thanks, this makes sense.
That's what I've got now it's been a year of it doesn't go away..
The greatest relief to my lower back pain I get from walking and hiking. I also do core strength exercises at the gym - hanging leg raises and back raises. In the past year my hiking ability has been hindered by leg problems, and now my SI pain has returned.
Hi Alien, thank you for sharing your situation! I'm sorry to hear that your hiking has been hindered by leg problems. It's possible that your hiking ability has been affected by leg problems, which could be contributing to the return of your SI pain. When you have issues with your legs, such as muscle imbalances, muscle weakness, or injuries, it can sometimes alter your gait patterns and the way you distribute weight while hiking. This altered movement pattern can put extra strain on your SI joints, which may lead to SI joint pain. Additionally, if you've been compensating for your leg problems by overusing certain muscles or favoring one side, it can further exacerbate SI joint issues.
The program can help by strengthening and creating stability around the SI joint, as well as identifying abnormalities in your gait while promoting proper muscle balance and coordination. If you're interested, we offer a free 7-day trial which you can learn more about here: www.corebalancetraining.com/program. We'd love to help you get back to hiking pain-free!
@@CoreBalance Thanks for the comment. My hiking disability is caused by PAD - peripheral arterial disease. I recently discovered I have blocked circulation, which manifests as sudden intense fatigue in calves and arches. It was progressive for several years, but I really noticed it until about a year ago. My Dr. says it was caused by too much starchy carbs, as I don't fit the typical profile. Change of diet, and exercise appears to be helping - and lots of walking. Hopefully I can return to some lite hiking this spring and summer - and redevelop some lost muscle mass.
Incidentally, I have noticed that I suffer intermittent fatigue in my hips when walking, which is probably caused by the tendency to compensate for the lack of support in my calf and arch muscles. The fatigue causes an imbalance in my step, which apparently translates to my hips. The hip fatigue subsides when I force my calves and arches to take the stress properly.
My favorite thing abt your background is that u surf and as a skater who messed up his si joint it gives me so much hope that I can get back on Bord like u did. Glute bridges and clam shells till then lmao
Hey there! It's awesome to hear that you find inspiration in Dr. Ryan's background as a surfer, especially given your passion for skating. You've got this! Keep up with those glute bridges. We're rooting for your journey back on the board!
Great video! I learned a lot. Your other SI Joint video called “Stop hurting your SI Joint” is a must watch along with this one! 👍
Thank you so much, Marina! We're so happy to hear that you found the video informative. We appreciate your support and recommendation of our other SI Joint video! 😊
Phenomenal!!! Thank you so much for this…

Thanks v helpful❤
Thank you so much 🎩🙏🤗
Good info. I was at a PT session and he had me lay on my stomach then pushed really hard on my SI joint, I suppose to free it up. It was painful at the time and has progressively gotten more so as that area is very swollen now. Very painful.
Hi Emr, I'm so sorry this happened to you. I can understand how distressing and painful it must have been for you. I hope the tips in the video can offer some relief to your SI joint.
I would also like to share that the movements from the first Module included in our program's free 7-day trial are very gentle and often provide significant relief for our students. The program begins with simple therapeutic exercises aimed at developing core awareness, which can help soothe the painful and swollen area. If you're interested, you can learn more about it here: www.corebalancetraining.com/program. We'd love to help you!
Amazing you are❤❤
Thank you. I'll try these! I believe I've had CHD since birth and have always stood more on the left leg than right. Also, 30 years ago I tore the meniscus in the right knee. The specialists said there was no injury, but I've had problems ever since including the fact that from the knee down, my leg goes to an outward slant. I've had L4-5 spinal fusion and laminectomy. So, my question is: will hip extensions be okay with the other problems I have?
Hi Dr Ryan and thank you for sharing your video on si.
I've been pain there for more than 20 years after a bad juvenile fall, and I discover just few years ago that my back pain was due to that joints.
Actually my pain and inability are severe and what I've been experiencing, also with phisician, it's a strong inhibition of much of the muscles correlate with si, starting with the gluteus maximus, a muscle that seems I cannot exercise properly, cause if I try it starts to spasm and then it's inhibition increase.
For you experience, do you have some tools to share on how reactive this muscle without increase the vicious circus of pain, muscle inhibition, more stress and trauma on ligaments?
Thank you.
Emanuele
Guess I’ll tell my Chiropractor to stop adjusting my SI joint. I’ve been going to PT, one of the exercises I’ve been doing is bridges, with a band around my knees.
@Core Balance Training, i hhave a right on right sacral torsion. Do you still.discourage an adjustment? Would the bridge exercise potentially correct the backward sacral torsion? Ty hope you could respond.
Dear Sir, very good evening 🎉 Your lectures super, very much My body pain Bone Tensity test how
Thanks!
Awesome video !!!
It has been two months and the pain was low level, and not everyday.
I could walk with zero pain.
Stretching would help tremendously.
Yesterday I was fine, I was helping a neighbor, something pulled right where the SI joint is. It’s not sciatica or the hip joint. I’ve had sciatica and I can walk with no pain.
now I’m in bed with extra severe pain.
It went from not so bad to the worse pain it could cause. Sitting, standing, cause level 8 pain but shoots to 10. This is absolutely horrible.
Laying down the pain is the same, and shoots to ten with the slightest movement.
Question: considering the sun level is extreme, will this get better or does require intervention of some kind ?
I feel like a need an reverse S1L5. Adjustment by pushing out instead of in cus of my grade 11 anteriolisthesis . same thing with getting my back adjusted I love doing stomach rolls instead of on back cuz it pops the other way which is what I need and side bends feel good too cus i got lordosis as well
I was a letter carrier that carried a mail bag for 26: years. Repetitive use has caused lumbar disc issues, low back pain and tight lumbar muscles. Sept I went into sciatica and how gone through all kinds of injections. I am at the point now of TPI with some relief but my si joint makes me feel like my hips are locked.🤷🏻♀🤦🏻♀
Bulgarian split squats is a game changer for my SI joint, literally no pain
A question! Is it normal to feel ur leg as giving up when having si joint dysfunction? Bc mine feels that way + spasm s and also feels tight on my knee while doing hip thrusts.
Hey, I need your help to treat L5 pars defect. I wanna move back home but I have an issue it's grade 1 spodylosesis
Question: I have unstable spondylolethesis in L-5 to S-1 with left side SI joint issues. Now its bone on bone with unstable spondylolethesis and have had to modify my activity while doing work on the farm, which is where I got the injury.
I wont see a chiropractor because of the SI joint.
My brother said I need to exercise, to a point I agree.
Im limited in lifting a percentage of weight like bales of hay. Yoga, but not sure which would be beneficial? I ride my bike during the spring and summer months and use it to get back and fourth around the track as parking is a problem.
I’m putting off fusion surgery as much as I can as its very risky. Dealing with the 3 remaining horses is risky enough, and they belong to my mother who will be 81 in less than a month and does not do the “grunt work” of taking carevof them. So I am stuck! Now my question: what should I avoid that I have not already done?
Everyone's always talking about anterior pelvic tilt. The ligaments , the gluteus maximus, how do these play a role. Can they be involved in any lack of stability of the joint. How would it get fixed. I guess you are kind of explaining that now; your journey
Thanks for this video!
I am eight months pregnant and having pretty extreme SI joint pain. Sometimes I can’t walk. I’ve been going to PT but haven’t gotten much relief. I finally booked a chiropractor appointment but now after watching your video, I’m a little hesitant. Is it possible they might make it worse? I’m pretty desperate for relief as it’s pretty debilitating at the moment so even if it’s a temporary fix, I would do it, just as long as it doesn’t make it worse. Would love to hear your thoughts. Thank you so much!
I am dealing with that pain SI joint, I have 2 shots already the first one lasted 4 weeks and went down the hill again, hoping this second one last longer bc I am struggling doing life !!! the chiropractor mobilized and I felt worse !! ....is been 4 months already ( this is my 2nd flare up) and it came worse.
I have done n the past and now with a different doctor but im still not getting better....
I started to do this glutes exercises laying n my back so I am hoping it helps soon!!!
What do you think about Bicycle riding with Si joint problems? I love cycling. Should I stop or can i still ride if it does not hurt? Thank you!
Tiberius from Germany
I had Sacroilitis since 2019 after giving birth. It took a year to get the right diagnosis and then a journey of healing and sickness and healing and sickness which affected me mentally and emotionally. Now I am on a flare up for the past two months and I think it happens over time of doing wrong movements. I just want to add that beside the exercises, I think the focus on anti inflammatory food speeds up the recovery.
Same!! Second flare up, and came up worse , 4 months and different meds, shots, pt and It seems it doesn't go away with anything!! So bad that I began having anxiety and panic attacks ramdomly, probably bc stress ....I heard some ppl responded well to the shots! Have u tried? For me at this point I feel like ready to si fusion and get over with this nightmare
THANKS1
8:57 this is the exercise! 👍
How do you know if it's muscle pain or joint pain?
Excellent video - Thanks ! Just one question : with muscle pain after exercice, what to do ? Push through the pain and exercise or let it calm down before the next exercise ?
Hi there, thank you for your kind words about the video! I am happy to offer some guidance on your question. When it comes to muscle pain after exercise, it's important to listen to your body and not push through the pain. Dr. Ryan recommends going right up to that point where you feel fatigue, then taking a rest. The next day, you can challenge yourself to go a little further, but always working where you are at. I hope this helps!
@@CoreBalance Thank you so much ! Coincidentally I also did the pool exercices twice now and they offer significant relief after just 2 sessions with a day in between. Prone sleeping on a cushion under my pelvis : super helpful to know I’m doing the right thing. Bridges and wearing the right shoes are also key, as is your recommendation on which exercises to avoid. I’m so happy to know I’m on the right track and can now narrow it down to an efficient and effective routine without doing anything that makes it worse. Fantastic and I’m really delighted ! I very much appreciate your reply. Can’t thank you enough !
I had scoliosis surgery 3 years ago , and since then I have had another problem now . I am fuse most of my back all of the way to my very tail. Now my SI joint hurts so much I can sleep well because if I am in my side, hurt is I am in my back hurts I can walk straight I am leaning to the front even my knees start to hurt I am 58 I am very worried because I am going to have SI joint surgery and they are going to fix a broken screw also.
Do you think I have to avoid any physical therapy for now.
Thanks for you help
I am having pain when sitting and was told my pelvic was tilted, it that the same as the si join? My doctor continues trying to adjustment me. I have started doing the side scissor exercise and has given me some relief. Can you give any advice? Thanks so much!
So wit xrays that show L5-S1 wit arthritis....wat to do to relieve pain n legs n toes pulling or which dr to c....can it be metabolic problem also. Advice
Hey Doc, would it be okay for me to train legs (e.g. squat, hex bar deadlift, leg press, leg extension, prone leg curls and bulgarian split squats) and play badminton whilst I do these recuperating exercises to get my SI joint back to full health? Or should I take a break from training legs and badminton whilst doing these stabilizing/strengthening exercises? My GP also prescribed some anti-inflammatories - should I pair them with the stabilizing/strengthening exercises? Thanks in advance for your advice and all you do!
Can you explain the popping in the lower back when lifting the legs. Is there a way to solve this problem?
Hi. What do you do initially when the si joint is flaring? I’m trying to avoid PT exercises because I don’t want to overwork the area. I have been wearing an si belt. Just trying to see how long a flare lasts. Thanks
How do we know if it’s joint pain or bulging disc pain ?
Great video mate ,, I have been struggling for a couple of years with si joint pain, I try to do yoga and callisthenics,and the bridge with resistance bands ,, yet sometimes I think my yoga makes my Si joint pain worse ,, are there any exercises to avoid when trying to repair my SI joint ?
Glute bridge seemed to make my pain go away after I stretched the area out too much and caused a lot of tingling and nerve problems. The pidgeon pose seemed like it pulled mine back apart after nearly healing.
You have to be consistent though and make small steps every day, i did the glute bridge too much in one day and now my neck is very sore.
My glute muscle imbalance is right side, (weak), left side okay. Should I try to isolate the right side with the bridge and if yes, how do I do that?
Thank you for your super informative videos!
Hi there, thank you so much for reaching out and for your appreciation of our content! If you're experiencing a muscle imbalance between your right and left glutes, Dr. Ryan suggests trying a modified or full single-leg bridge exercise. This exercise helps actively strengthen the muscles on the weaker side. You can find more information on this topic in Dr. Ryan's video here: ua-cam.com/users/liveNqmbg1dTciA?feature=shared&t=1094 and he demonstrates how to perform the exercise in this video: ua-cam.com/video/-JXRSqzW3ZQ/v-deo.html. I hope you find this helpful in addressing your imbalance!
thank you... exactally what i needed right now... I understand the time game... but not liking that... 🙄
What about the effect of relaxin on ligaments...?
What about hypermobile ehlers danlos? What can you do about that?
Thanks doctor can you please explain what that mean artrithies in the joins thanks again
Hi there, I'm happy to explain! Arthritis in the joints means that the joints in your body are inflamed and painful. Arthritis can make it hard to move and do everyday activities. It happens when the cartilage, which is like a cushion between your bones, breaks down. This can cause swelling, stiffness, and pain in the affected joints. Arthritis can affect any joint in the body, like the SI joint. Hope that helps clarify things for you!
Thanks for your answer can you please tell me which exercises to do for this issue? And can it be gone or not
I have just had an mri that shows a degenerating disk and space as well as 2 moderate bulging disks in between L4 and L5 and between L5 and S1. Will this exercise help that as well? And how do I know if I have pain coming from the S1 joint or my 2 lower disks? I'm assuming it could be both.
I never had problems in my lower back, only cervical disc injury in my neck. Besides strengthing my upper back then I also started to strenghten my lower body with physiotherapist guided weight lifting (dead lifts, bridges, kick backs) and - so I started my back problems. I found out that it is most probably my (both!) SI joints causing the problems for months. Stopped training my gluteus maximus and tried many other exercises in hope for relieve. I do not know why, but training my gluteus medius with clamshells (resistance bands) was the miracle solution. It is now getting much better by just training NOT my gluteus maximus but the smaller gluteus muscles. Does anybody has an explaination for this?
I fractured my sacrum last aug omg the pain was shocking i could hardly walk with 2 crutches
I know that I have SI joint instability, but I also have a problem of my SI joint popping out of alignment on my right side mostly, which produces a searing pain if I don't pop it back in.
In addition to glute bridge, SI joint realignment using the belt around the thighs in the glute bridge, daily walking, and core strengthening exercises, is there any benefit to wearing a sacroillac belt for every activities and while sleeping to further stabilize and irritated SI joint?
I personally benefit from it. Especially while walking.
Hypermobile Syndrome Disorder is such a constant pain.
Thanks so much for your videos. I have a couple questions. The psoas muscle crosses the SI joint. Can a tight psoas muscle cause SI joint problems? Also, can a tight or injured periformis muscle cause SI joint problems?
Hi Paul, I'm glad you find the videos helpful. Yes, both a tight psoas muscle and a tight or injured piriformis muscle can contribute to SI joint problems. The psoas muscle attaches to the front of the lumbar spine and crosses the SI joint, so if it's tight or shortened, it can pull on the SI joint and cause dysfunction or pain. Similarly, the piriformis muscle, located in the buttock region, also crosses the SI joint. If it's tight or injured, it can lead to imbalances or compression around the SI joint, potentially causing pain or instability. Active stretching and strengthening exercises targeting these muscles can help stabilize the SI joint and provide relief, which we do teach in the program. If you're interested, we offer a free 7-day trial which you can learn more about here: www.corebalancetraining.com/program.
Why not lifting the foot towards the ceiling while on all fours to strengthen glutes? (In addition to the bridge?)
I have the additional curse of not being able to do a bridge without painful cramping of the hamstring (following a disc repair surgery)…. What are the alternatives ??
