So excited about your programs! I have been dealing with lower back/right hip-sciatica problems for a while. Just found out I have spondylolisthesis -L4 over L5. Instead of swimming in the pool, I'm walking in the pool and I'm feeling more stable already. I'm very active and a preschool teacher. How am I going to work with the kids without messing myself up. Thanks for everything!
Thank you for your honesty and for managing our expectations, Dr. Peebles. We all want a quick fix. I'm a year and a half into my SI joint healing journey. I appreciate hearing that it takes time and patience.
I am 3 years into my Si Joint pain. 2 rounds of injections no relief. Very hard to get past this. It's easy to push to hard too fast and have setbacks.
So glad to have just now discovered you. I’ve had a twisted sacrum since I was 19. Going through pregnancy wrecked my core and glutes leading to more hip instability and pain. I’m two years post partum and still struggling (I’m literally hobbling today which is why I’m researching on TH-cam for relief). Hoping this is the answer, because chasing after a toddler like this is not fun 😂🥴
I was told by a PT and a chiropractor that yoga is not good for me with hyper-mobility. They see more injuries with people doing yoga that are hyper-flexible and suggest Pilates to me as the perfect balance of strength and stretching. But like you said probably has to do with the type of yoga. I feel better with Pilates.
Oh my god, I actually feel like it was yoga that’s done this and now I read your comment. It’s killed me. I’m so upset and don’t see any light at the end of the tunnel
I’m one week into your program. My issue started about 3 weeks ago. I’ve had it before about 15 years ago but didn’t know what it was. The pain eventually went away. Not sure how. This time my pain is in my low back like you’ve explained and also in my right hip area at the top of my thigh. Hurts to walk. I get up and start limping but eventually can walk without a limp but it still hurts. I have noticed that when I’m on the floor stretching, I will bring my left leg to my chest and stretch out my right leg to the ground. That’s when I hear and feel a pop. I thought it was a ligament or something getting caught and then releasing like a rubber band. Never thought it could be a joint popping.
Thanks for sharing this. I’ve had a constant pain in 3 out of 10. I was using the belt but I don’t feel i need it all the time. Can I start doing hip extensions despite the pain I have or should I give it more time to heal? I’m afraid it might increase my pain level. Thanks!
Hi Aura, thank you for sharing your feedback. Dr. Ryan shares visual demonstrations with photos in this video: th-cam.com/video/iZ4Fb2O0Vm4/w-d-xo.html. I hope this helps you visualize the use of the SI belt better! 😊
Dr R - I recently did cervical x-rays and besides cervical degeneration, it shoed C3-C4 2 to 3 mm ventrical subluxation. I have been sent to PT. Can this be fixed through PT and what movements should I avoid doing?
Thanks very much for this stream. Please be aware that in your dedicated video on SI belt placement, you say to put the belt BELOW the ASIS. 22:00 here you say it should be if anything slightly ABOVE the ASIS. I went by the initial video and then tried this approach and my initial feeling is that across or slightly above the ASIS is better.
Michael, GREAT catch! While putting the SI belt below the ASIS should biomechanically stabilize the joint, I've found that placing it this low puts too much friction on the muscles/tendons that attach to the ASIS, causing discomfort. My best recommendation is that the bottom edge of the belt be in line with the ASIS (across the PSIS in the back). Hopefully that clarifies things, and thanks for bringing this up!
I have tried using the belt around my thighs while doing the bridge for SI joint pain ( it works), but it ends up hurting my knees. Maybe kneecap tracking? When I squeeze something between my knees (pressing inward instead of outward) while doing the bridge, it helps my knee pain, but maybe this is aggravating my SI joint? Feeling a bit caught "between a rock and a hard place."
Hi Tina, thank you for sharing! The reason the bridge may be causing knee pain is because the bridge stretches one of the major hip flexors that attaches into your knee as well. If it's too much, you can move your feet a little further way from the buttocks and that will take off some of the tension. That stretch is a good thing, but you have to listen to your body and adjust the intensity of the movements to suit your body's needs. 😊
Hi Kvein, thank you for your comment! Dr. Ryan covers this topic in more detail in the SI Joint Belt video. You can watch it here: th-cam.com/video/iZ4Fb2O0Vm4/w-d-xo.html. I hope this is helpful!
Hi Jill, thank you for your comment! It sounds like you're referring to the Bird Dog, the movement we call the Front Anchors Challenge in the program, and yes, this movement can cause irritation for some individuals if there is an existing SI joint instability. For this reason, Dr. Ryan recommends performing kickbacks with or without additional weight after the SI joint has been stabilized. We hope this helps and thank you for tuning into the livestream!
Hi Karina, thank you so much for your comment! The SI belt should fit comfortably, offering support and stability to the SI joint without feeling too tight. It should allow for free movement without causing any discomfort or restricting circulation. It's important to find the right balance where the belt provides support without feeling overly constrictive. You can try different levels of tightness to see what works best for you during different activities and movements. Hope this is helpful!
Hi there, thank you so much for your comment! Dr. Ryan addresses this topic in detail in the following video: th-cam.com/video/YwRmTlYD7qI/w-d-xo.html. I hope you find it helpful!
I think my si problems started with my first pregnancy, then settled down a bit on their own. Now as I'm trying for a second pregnancy I sadly made the mistake of aggressively trying to mobilize my lower back after TRE session seemed to indicate a lot of tightness there and caused my si joints to start clicking which they hadn't before, thinking I was making progress. I'm not in much pain during the day, but sleep is a big struggle with recommended sleeping positions being uncomfortable in other ways. I can see now where I went wrong and what i need to do, but I'm wondering, do I need to stop trying to conceive, and if so, how long? Is a pregnancy the worst thing that could happen to a woman with a current si flareup? I'm 41 so timing matters. I'm also wondering when I can reintroduce TRE which was really helping me with PTSD.
Is it normal to feel a boney lump on the side you SI joint hurts? My physio said it's normal and nothing to worry about? It's where my pain is and the clicking
Hi Erebus, thank you for sharing! It's possible that what you're feeling could be a trigger point, which is essentially a knot in the muscles and fairly normal. Hope this helps!
@@CoreBalance thank you! I find a lot of the things that have helped from your videos and even mentioned you to him and showed what I learnt off watching your stuff he said all is great and I should definitely try some of your exercises! Thank you! 🖤

Fantastic video. Love the program.
Love this video. It's seriously answering all my questions. I'm in CBT now, in mod 5, and so grateful for this program. Thank you so much Dr. Ryan!

Thank you SO MUCH for explaining everything so well ❤️
What about Stemcell therapy can fix and best solution?
what if i have leg length discrepancy and scoliosis ? i can't stand symmetrically even if i want to. what should I do in that case
Thanks for sharing this. I’ve had a constant pain in 3 out of 10. I was using the belt but I don’t feel i need it all the time. Can I start doing hip extensions despite the pain I have or should I give it more time to heal? I’m afraid it might increase my pain level. Thanks!
Love this so much. How much of the bridges do we do??
what about going down and up stairs ?
I wish you would show a visual with the SI belt on a whole person with muscles and skin etc. Hard for me to visualize .

Yes! I noticed this too since I had watched the other video, and this new placement he says in this stream feels like it’s working great

Thank you for sharing, @kpdavis9. Please see my other response to Michael, and I'm glad to hear it's working for you!
What is my problem is hypo mobility of the left SI?
I have tried using the belt around my thighs while doing the bridge for SI joint pain ( it works), but it ends up hurting my knees. Maybe kneecap tracking? When I squeeze something between my knees (pressing inward instead of outward) while doing the bridge, it helps my knee pain, but maybe this is aggravating my SI joint?

That stretch is a good thing, but you have to listen to your body and adjust the intensity of the movements to suit your body's needs. 😊
I have this same situation with the bridge hurting my knee.
I have a much better understanding of placement now, but how tight should the belt be? And how can we determine it’s at the appropriate tightness?

Can kick backs on all 4’s without added weight cause SI irritation?

On day 4 of your CBT, when I do bridge, I feel sciatic discomfort..think I have S I issue...shall I continue?
Wondering what you figured out about this - I can't do a bridge without feeling sciatic discomfort
Wondering how tight the SI belt should be?
Hi Karina, thank you so much for your comment! The SI belt should fit comfortably, offering support and stability to the SI joint without feeling too tight.

Thoughts on sitting on a yoga ball for work? I feel like it’s the only thing my si joint can tolerate
Look into kneeling chairs they are great for passive hip flexor extension and SI stabilization while working

Id love an update of where you're at - I'm 42 and also actively trying to conceive - I'm wondering if I'm setting myself up for severe chronic pain ?
@reneemenard9379 sure, any specific aspect you're interested in before I launch into a tale about my recovery?
Is it normal to feel a boney lump on the side you SI joint hurts? My physio said it's normal and nothing to worry about? It's where my pain is and the clicking
