Hi. Dr Joe I am a subscriber! I guess my questions Didn’t go through. I was diagnosed with SACRoiliac SI joint dysfunction. I’m scheduled to go for joint injection next week. I did your exercises today for the first time thank you so much. I’ve had three major back surgeries my back is fused with plates and screws from my neck down and I think that’s what they think my back is so fused they tell me that this happens to a lot of people I don’t know all I know is I can’t sit The pain is outrageous! Also I’ve read somewhere that I think squats and no good and I do Zumba so I don’t know if I should be doing that I don’t jump and I don’t spin around because I get vertigo. My question is what is the proper way to Ben’s with this I am 65 years old and I love Zumba but if it’s gonna make me in pain where I can’t function this is not good!I appreciate any help you can give me I love all your videos thank you so much! Susan Prudente McNally
saw this and didn’t think these exercises would really work,but i tried them out of desperation..i have cried tears of relief because after weeks of being in pain,i have finally felt pain free…bless tou and thank you!!!
Just wanted to say thank you for this video. I’ve come back to it many times when I’m flared up and it really does seem to help. I’ve had chronic back pain for my whole adult life and in almost 15 years of physio and drs appointments, no one has shown me easy exercises like these that actually help right away.
INSTANT RELIEF!! my left SI joint slipped out today after gardening, painting,and vaccuming (stupid, I know). Ty so so much! These videos truly helped me in the pandemic. I love them and the dog! Xo
This was the most useful video I’ve watched in a long time!!! I have had lower back pain for the past few days and after research figured it was my SI joint. I followed your exercises felt a pop and then my pain was gone!!! Thank you so much 🙏
Hi Dr. Jo, I am a new subscriber. I wish I could have viewed this video sooner. I have suffered from lower back pain for years. I first injured my back many years (35y) ago prepping for a powerlifting competition, while squatting I attempted to break my all-time best (which I did) and when re-racking the weight my left hip flexed and I instantly felt pain and that's where it all began. I am 71 now and have dealt with this for 35 years, I have seen four different Chiropractors, done physical therapy, spinal decompression, and massage therapy all this time thinking or was told it is a pinched sciatic nerve and the funny thing is with all the ex-rays, not one professional ever mentioned the SI joint. Just in the past month or so, I discovered the SI joint topic. I tried some of the self-diagnoses recommendations found here on UA-cam and sure enough, they all suggest an SI joint problem. I have just now spent several minutes trying your exercises and low and behold the last thing I did was to hold my thumb with pressure on the SI joint for several counts (6) six times. Oh, what a relief it is. I intend on seeing an orthopedic surgeon and discuss this and maybe just maybe finally after all these years get some real relief. Thank you, Dr. Jo,
Thanks for subscribing. Sorry to hear you had pain for so long without help. I am always surprised at how often SI joint dysfunction is overlooked with back pain. It's usually the first thing I will assess on someone with back issues. I hope you continue to get relief and recover soon!
This video is a jewel!! After an awkward move while dancing I was unable to even walk without pain. All my lower back was blocked and I thought it was a disc herniation of my lumbar region. After one day of heavy medication I realized it was not the lumbars but the sacroiliac and then I found this video. Like magic, after performing some of these excercise I could walk again without pain, on more night of rest and next morning after second repetition of the routine I was just fine. Amazing how our bones work like a machine. Thank you so much for this video!
I have SI joint dysfunction and my ortho sent me to 3 different physical therapists, none of them gave me any SI joint exercises or any hope for relief. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for all of these, but especially the side movement, which appears to have clicked my SI joint back into place after years of nagging discomfort.
THANK YOU!!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! These stretched really helped me this morning. The pain I feel is really debilitating to the point that i cannot sit for more than 2-3 minutes at a time. It effects my work and social life so finding some relief is lifechanging for me. Thanks again.
I’m months pregnant and haven’t been able to walk since week 4 of the pregnancy… it’s gotten unbearable. This didn’t erase it entirely but has helped greatly. I believe if I do these every day it will totally relieve my pain. Thank you!
Your demonstration is totally scientific and it is really really appreciable that you don't promise any instant result as they are seriously dangerous at times. Being a teacher of bioscience I do thank you for posting such elaborate demonstration. I already am having my knee pains lowered following your knee pain reducing videos. Best wishes. Regards.
That was relieving. It did a little pop also. I definitely need to stretch my hip flexors more often. I did a kettlebell workout 2 months ago and I still have the pain from that blockage. Even in the groin. Very bad.
Importantly, don’t lose hope - took me 2 years to understand and implement these excercises an stretches for my stuck SI joint. Suggesting Also look for strengt differences in the hip flex muscles.
After two years going to chiropractors and looking for solutions finally my pain is gone. Thank you so much for this video, exercise with the kick is the one that make me pain free. I feel little pain in the morning but soon as i am done with exercise all day it’s amazing and I am doing just ones per day. Feels amazing without this stiffness. Thank you so much
This is really encouraging I've had SIJ pain for 6 months and wondered if I would recover fully as it seems like I've slowly made myself worse. Thank you for sharing😊
Thank you so much for this. I suffer from SI joint pain on my left side, have for a few years now. In these quarantine times I haven't been able to get any hands-on help and working from home - sitting in front of my laptop! - I've been suffering a lot. My Fitbit reminds me to get up hourly to walk, stretch and now I'll be incorporating your exercises into my hourly movements. Thanks from a Subscriber! :)
I dont know what I did to myself. I'm 69, and suffer from severe medial knee osteoarthritis in both knees. I will need TKR to both knees eventually so I am trying to get in the best shape of my life. I have a personal trainer and have gone to a gym 4 days a week for an hour a day for the last year and a half. It has made quite a difference. Unfortunately I did something to my SI joint on the left side. It was starting to get depressing after a few days so I looked at this video and used the belt and ball "shotgun techniques". I did 2 sets 24 reps of pelvic tilts followed by 3 sets of 5 belt exercises and 3 sets of 5 ball exercises. I didnt hear a pop, but hours later I now realize.....the pain is totally gone! Thank you so much. Dr. Jo!
I’ve been seeing chiropractors for 20 years because of my right SI joint. I’m tired of being down for the count when my pelvis rotates. So glad that I found your video! I plan I watching it over and over and over and over again until these are a memorized into a daily routine.
I really like how you get into things fairly quickly... so many videos make you listen to a long explanation before they get into what you are supposed to do to elevate and that becomes irritating pretty quickly if you are already in pain LOL... these exercises are great and I feel immediate relief. Some I certainly will incorporate daily!!
Dr Jo there are two pub med studies with SI joint patients and they were able to resovle the issue within 5 weeks of solely focusing on glute exercises. I am doing this now. I have had si joint pain for 18 years. I didnt realise it was because my glutes are very weak and dont fire.
@@franciafigueroa4280 it took 14 months si joint healed, It took another 8 months to heal the torn ligament and scarring at base of spine, after 2 years of my program I am free of back pain for the first time in 25 years
@@katielarking wow congrats! what program?? did you find that taking it easy helped out ? i was in a car accident a year ago and im having more pain than ever now
What is this magic! Laying on your side, brining knee up in front of you and kicking back…that put me back in alignment! I could cry. These are fantastic!
The very one I couldn't do is pushing the SI joint while lifting legs, it's so inflamed that side just failed to lift. Tried the other moves with success but I know that pushing the SI while lifting is the one that will help me if I get to the point where I can do it.
Unbelievable. I am a 43yr independent contractor. I have been dealing with what I thought was a nagging hip flexor strain for the past 3 months, that would not go away or get better. Pain would drag around from my right SI joint, above my hip, and down to my thigh. Abdominal muscles hurt, hip joint hurt, etc. I just did your set of exercises once last evening, and once this morning. And i honestly am in shock. Muscles are still a bit sore(I'm sure because they've been aggravated for so long). But damn near all of pain is gone. TOTAL LIFESAVER!!! there were days when It was hard to walk, sleep, sit, lay down...and times when the muscles were spasming so bad, it felt like I had appendicitis. Thank god I found your video!
Are the stretches also useful for issues with hypermobility based SI issues or should we be avoiding the stretches to avoid making those hypermobility issues (in general and SI worse).
Thank you for this video. It really helped and the pain is gone. Too much working while sitting on the chair. What’s your opinion about working 4 hours standing (those desks that move up and down) and 4 hours siting. Thank you and sending hugs.
You're welcome. I like the sit to stand desks, but it's probably better to alternate a little more often, like one hour standing, one hour sitting (maybe that's what you meant).
You are honestly a life saver!!!! I am 27 and have had low back problems for 11 years. 3 bulging discs, I’ve had multiple injections and currently have SI joint pain. Still seeing my pain management doctor regularly but I’ve been been watching your videos for a couple of weeks and honestly this has made such a big difference! Thank you! 💙
@@AskDoctorJo my problem is coming again and again. When ever i sit on hard surface like a floor or time after a run , i m unable to walk because of pain due to which i cant even handle to stand with both legs properly plz help, and doc says all exray and mri are normal, though is in left hip joint
Hi Doctor Jo. I wanted to see maybe if you have a suggestion, this injury I’ve had has been sort of a puzzle. I fell on my SI joint skateboarding, this is was on February. Now it’s almost October and I still get this ache in this SI joint area, I think this ache is tightness. I’ve been through a chiropractor and 3 physical therapists and the one I’m seeing now has recommend that I do specific stretches. And the ones she having me do stretch all my right back side and after i do them I feel a lot of relief but if I miss one time doing these stretches then it goes back to being as worse as it was in the start. I just been doing them morning and night when I go to the pt. Also we’ve been doing excercises. The first thing that you do where I think you say that your SI joint might be out of place, my physical therapist has looked at me and said everything seems to feel fine. I’m so confused now. Also I’m doing a lot of laying and sitting at home, i think that’s not helping but I cannot lay on my back very long in bed. It feels like the muscles or tendons around the si joint where I fell even down to my butt are tight and I thought that if the stretches were helping alleviate the pain then we found out what was wrong and that’s great, but now my pt is saying maybe acupuncture or a orthopedist.
@@AskDoctorJo dr. I had si pain in from past 1 year , it travels sometimes it pains in right and sometimes on left leg , i changed several doctors but pain is still there , is it curable by your exercises or you can suggest something else , u look trustworthy that’s why i am asking you !
I have problems with my sacroiliac joints on both sides. The physiotherapist said that my left leg was growing longer. I put my hands on my PSIS points. My left side feels further behind. But the pain is on my right side. In this case, which leg should be straight and pushing towards the floor in the first exercise? My second question is for the movement in which we push while lying on our side. Am I pushing in the muscles at the point where the sacrum and pelvis meet? Or am I pushing the bone felt at the PSIS point? THANKS
Are these safe to do with a bulging or herniated lumbar disc? Not sure if I have a bulging disc or SI joint issue because two different physical therapists have told me two different things. So I want to find exercises good for both.
How can I tell if I’m suffering from Sacroiliitis or SI joint disfunction. It seems to be on both sides but my left is worse. Pain goes into my groin and legs. Do you offer virtual consultations?
Hi my right side SI joint dislocated. Having difficulty with forword bending, pain is radiating to my right knee and right roof of my foot close to the thumb having burning pain. DUE TO COVID 19 MY CHIROPRACTOR IS CLOSED. not sure what to do. And I am not sure if I have posterior or anterior rotation? Are those exercise is ok to do in my situation ?
Looks like great exercises. I can’t do any of them right now as I’m in too much pain. My muscles are all in guarding. My right joint is out after a fall. Can’t find relief to do anything even with ibuprofen. Any exercises I can do?
thanks very much. is there any chance you can let me know which side of the body to stretch depending on which side the SI joint is in pain? thanks. peace & love. thanks. thank you
You're welcome. Unfortunately, it's not about what side has pain, it's about which way that side is rotated (anteriorly or posteriorly), so I don't know since I can't evaluate you.
What if you don’t have anything out of place but just have confirmed inflammation in both SI joints? Will these exercises also work for that ? Thank you for your videos.
Hello I am suffering from sacroiliac joint pain from last week. Unable to sit or stand for more than 5-10 minutes. Should I I follow these exercise during this time or after getting relief from pain? How to get rid of pain?
Excellent for strengthening the joint. An easy to follow series of exercises. I started doing these following the self adjustment technique in the other video which clicked my joint back into place. Amazing results. These videos are fantastic
Hi Mam. I am having pain in SI joint.I am following your exercises. I am feeling relief from pain.Please advise whether hot massage or ice massage can be taken? Please specify.
Hi - Thank you Doctor Jo! My SI pain is diminishing and I have only been doing your exercises for a week. I was wondering where I could purchase a pillow/cushion like the one you have in your SI video. Many thanks - Heather
The one I’m using in this video is called the Womfy, but it’s no longer available. I have reviewed another pillow I really like from SleepOvation. Here's the video I made about it: ua-cam.com/video/v-Nq8qm7RQk/v-deo.html
Thank you I have been suffering from SI joint issues for 25 years or more! It flared up bad 4 weeks ago! It amazes me how doctors just don’t know what to do with this common issue. Orthopedic and pain management only want to give masking pain shots! This time I could actually feel the joint out! I do do some of the things you recommend already but I did learned something new! The donkey kick! LoL. Thanks for posting
can SIJ dysfunction slowly affect other areas over the years? since i started having symptoms 3 years ago my lower back now has issues and recently my upper back between my shoulder blade and spine has been very tense and over exerted as well as the muscles going up to my neck. all on the same right side as my SIJ dysfunction. are they all connected like a chain reaction?

The first thing that you do where I think you say that your SI joint might be out of place, my physical therapist has looked at me and said everything seems to feel fine. I’m so confused now. Also I’m doing a lot of laying and sitting at home, i think that’s not helping but I cannot lay on my back very long in bed.
It feels like the muscles or tendons around the si joint where I fell even down to my butt are tight and I thought that if the stretches were helping alleviate the pain then we found out what was wrong and that’s great, but now my pt is saying maybe acupuncture or a orthopedist.
I found exercises bouring but you made it interesting 😂😂❤❤ thank you dr. I am able to do exercises now
You're welcome.
@@AskDoctorJo dr. I had si pain in from past 1 year , it travels sometimes it pains in right and sometimes on left leg , i changed several doctors but pain is still there , is it curable by your exercises or you can suggest something else , u look trustworthy that’s why i am asking you !
Unfortunately, I don't know that answer since I can't evaluate you. Everyone is different.
@@AskDoctorJo thats fine dr . I am starting your exercise by tomorrow lets see what happens !
I miss my lab. Ty for this video. I suffer from this.
You're welcome 🐾
I have problems with my sacroiliac joints on both sides. The physiotherapist said that my left leg was growing longer. I put my hands on my PSIS points. My left side feels further behind. But the pain is on my right side. In this case, which leg should be straight and pushing towards the floor in the first exercise? My second question is
for the movement in which we push while lying on our side. Am I pushing in the muscles at the point where the sacrum and pelvis meet? Or am I pushing the bone felt at the PSIS point? THANKS
Great video. I’ll have my wife try it for her S I pain
Thanks. I hope they help.
Much Better. Thank you
You're welcome.
Are these safe to do with a bulging or herniated lumbar disc? Not sure if I have a bulging disc or SI joint issue because two different physical therapists have told me two different things. So I want to find exercises good for both.
As long as they don't increase your pain afterwards, they should be fine.
@@AskDoctorJo Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
How can I tell if I’m suffering from Sacroiliitis or SI joint disfunction. It seems to be on both sides but my left is worse. Pain goes into my groin and legs. Do you offer virtual consultations?
Hi my right side SI joint dislocated. Having difficulty with forword bending, pain is radiating to my right knee and right roof of my foot close to the thumb having burning pain. DUE TO COVID 19 MY CHIROPRACTOR IS CLOSED.
not sure what to do. And I am not sure if I have posterior or anterior rotation?
Are those exercise is ok to do in my situation ?
Looks like great exercises. I can’t do any of them right now as I’m in too much pain. My muscles are all in guarding. My right joint is out after a fall. Can’t find relief to do anything even with ibuprofen. Any exercises I can do?
Tnx, you're just brilliant.
You're welcome, and thanks :-)
Very nice n excellent Dr
......from .Dr Mahesh pareek ( india

I’m not sure which side. The right side is the uncomfortable side. So should i press the right side into the floor or the left side?
Thank you for this 🙏
You're welcome.
Oml this could help me keep my job, no joke. 😮🤩
I hope it helps!
How to know if I have hip joint problem.what are the signs and symptoms.. also Clicking of hip joint while rotation ,what tha happens
Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
Are these exercises also effective for reduced space in SI joint???
Can a leg length discrepancy (e.g. 8-10 mm) cause a pelvic rotation or ilium subluxation?
thanks very much. is there any chance you can let me know which side of the body to stretch depending on which side the SI joint is in pain? thanks. peace & love. thanks. thank you
You're welcome. Unfortunately, it's not about what side has pain, it's about which way that side is rotated (anteriorly or posteriorly), so I don't know since I can't evaluate you.
What if you don’t have anything out of place but just have confirmed inflammation in both SI joints? Will these exercises also work for that ? Thank you for your videos.
You're welcome. They might help.
Hi have just found you love your channel 👍
Thanks!
Weeks of pain eliminated with the "shot gun" move 👍🏽
Glad it helped!
Dr. Jo.....which muscles cause the SI joint to become tight? I have been trying to correct my posterior pelvic tilt for about 2 years. PLEASE HELP~!
Hello I am suffering from sacroiliac joint pain from last week. Unable to sit or stand for more than 5-10 minutes.
Should I I follow these exercise during this time or after getting relief from pain? How to get rid of pain?
Hey Lata. Did u try these exercises? Got any relief. M in the same condition 😢
Excellent for strengthening the joint. An easy to follow series of exercises. I started doing these following the self adjustment technique in the other video which clicked my joint back into place. Amazing results. These videos are fantastic
Thanks.
Self adjustment video? Need. To. Find! :)
Wil this prevent them from going out of aligment?
Hi Mam. I am having pain in SI joint.I am following your exercises. I am feeling relief from pain.Please advise whether hot massage or ice massage can be taken? Please specify.
In general, heat is used before stretches and exercises to help loosen/warm the area up, and then cold afterwards to help reduce pain and swelling.
@@AskDoctorJo Thanks for the advise.Please suggest whether I can do squats or not?
You're welcome. I don't know since I can't evaluate you.
Hi - Thank you Doctor Jo! My SI pain is diminishing and I have only been doing your exercises for a week. I was wondering where I could purchase a pillow/cushion like the one you have in your SI video. Many thanks - Heather
The one I’m using in this video is called the Womfy, but it’s no longer available. I have reviewed another pillow I really like from SleepOvation. Here's the video I made about it: ua-cam.com/video/v-Nq8qm7RQk/v-deo.html
@@AskDoctorJo Thank you so much for the link :).
Is si joint a muscle issue? Can it be a cause of stenosis?
Your dog's cape! Where did you get it? Thanks for your continued help and work!
I get most of their outfits from Amazon.com 😎
How to find out what side is rotated

Thank you! These exercises have really helped my SI pain.
You're welcome!
WOW! This one video has provided me the most knowledge and relief from my back pain than anything else I’ve watched and tried. Thank you 😊 🙏🏼
You're welcome!
How do i know i am pressing on the exact SI joint spot while lifting my leg up? Can u be so kind to explain further? Thanks
It's the area that is dimpled in. It might also be tender to the touch.
My SI joint is at again 😒...ur videos DrJo✨️ r lifeeeeee thank u so muchhhhh
You're welcome! I hope you heal quickly.
Thank you I have been suffering from SI joint issues for 25 years or more! It flared up bad 4 weeks ago! It amazes me how doctors just don’t know what to do with this common issue. Orthopedic and pain management only want to give masking pain shots! This time I could actually feel the joint out! I do do some of the things you recommend already but I did learned something new! The donkey kick! LoL. Thanks for posting
You're welcome.
The post rotation is what bothers me in my left quad. What can I do to help with it? Thank you
These Videos save people's Life bruh. 👍👌💪
can SIJ dysfunction slowly affect other areas over the years? since i started having symptoms 3 years ago my lower back now has issues and recently my upper back between my shoulder blade and spine has been very tense and over exerted as well as the muscles going up to my neck. all on the same right side as my SIJ dysfunction. are they all connected like a chain reaction?
