I got a Serola hip belt and after a couple of years of constant pain and the occasional week of not being able to move, it's completely healed!!!!! It took three weeks of wearing it 24/7. Now I wear it when I'm doing any heavy work and my strengthening exercises. I was doing strengthening exercises and stretches but they weren't working until I had the belt. Now I can see the benefits of the strengthening because the belt reduced the swelling and my SI joint was able to heal. I can exercise everyday for 30 minutes, walk as much as I want, sit, stand, drive, whatever and NO PAIN. I'm in love with this belt.
@@mrsmustafa7964 I can't provide a link in the comments I guess, it just deletes my comment. I bought my belt from Amazon. They come in four different sizes so make sure to measure around the widest part of your hips for the proper measurement of you decide to get one! If you just search Serola hip belt you will find them online.
@NatsGhost thank you for that information! I've just figured out that my low back and hip feel better if I tie them together with a yoga strap. I wouldn't have thought to sleep in a belt or use it when trying to strengthen the surrounding muscles!
Looking over vids I watched in the past. Now 5 years of SI joint nightmare and I’ve tried everything. I literally mean everything! 2024 Clamshell exercises with a ban on my ankle made a breakthrough for me though. Doing so other stabilizing exercises also. FYI…. Never Stop moving. You’ll only become stiff and weak. Believe it or not other problems will develop also from not moving especially as you agree with this problem. I hope that this helps someone. ❤
FYI: To avoid most of the buzzing sound and go straight to “treatment,” click this 👉 7:15 BTW- There are no exercises for SI stability in this video. The main recommendation is to call for a PT or chiropractic appointment with someone who can do a Grade 5 Lumbopelvic mobilization or subscribe to his newsletter for tips. Somewhat of a bait and switch title, so I wanted to save you from having to endure the buzzing sound.
I think is excellent advice for a PT student. The main key is to not stretch, instead strengthen. Why? Glute mid, min, maximus, piriformis need to be strengthen to hold the pelvis in its place. Get an adjustment to the SI. Massage therapist in Canada can only do joint mobilization up to grade 4. Grade 5 is granted to chiropractors.
At 4:30 he talks about habits that cause problems.. how you stand, how you sleep, shaving legs, crossing legs when sitting, being pregnant, men sitting on a wallet... stretching ligaments in the pelvis causes problems, can cause wear and tear over time.
Actually, it is an information video about the general problem and it’s treatment. It does not claim to be a self-manipulation/exercise video. He directs you to the exercise video, dick
The good news is can get better and when it finally starts healing and the moments without pain become hours without pain, you will feel like a champion. I’ve had it really bad for over two years and could barely walk. Now I’m seeing improvements daily and it’s so exciting.
I've had pain in my lhs SJ for 15 yrs just recently the awful pain is in my rhs joint. Pain only stops when I sit. Agony when walking, standing even after seconds. Had injections , physio etc. Now on waiting list for sacroiliac joint fusion, should happen next few wks. Wish my pain hadn't lasted so long!
Great information... I have been suffering for 2 yrs with pain in my buttocks, and I have told 3 Chiropractors, 2 pain specialist (2 epidurals no relief), 2 surgeons advice for surgery for diagnosed bulging/herniated discs... this year everything got worse agonizing pain shoots down my leg from my buttocks to my ankle, numbness & tingling I have been on Medical since the beginning of November, my right hip is so high I freaked out when I noticed it, i have never complained about back pain... I have told everyone I don't have back pain... I found a chiropractor who has started Disc Decompression and found that my Sacrum is off... now I think we can get down to business.. I have shared with him these videos.. thank you!!!! I can't wait for relief...
This is excellent thank you! Happy to report that after close to 20 years of pain on and off I sought treatment (again) and found a great physio who is practicing all of these steps with me!
You have nailed every one of my symptoms and the advice to get a good physical therapist is GOLD! Thank you so much!! I wish I lived in your area but I'm so thankful you are sharing this information with people because it is hard to get a good diagnosis and subsequent treatment for this issue and that's a shame. Thank you!!! This is the first video I've watched but I'm on to scour your channel
SI and butt pain sure is stubborn, but I think you are very right that stretching does NOT help, and strengthening really is the solution. I've had left SI/butt pain for a year & recently realized that my diligent exercise routine is way too stretch-oriented with not enough strength. For the past 2 days, I've stopped the specific stretching & have been doing strength exerc.: clamshell, bridge, side leg lifts, front leg lifts, lying-prone leg lifts--and now I'm actually starting to feel better! I also like climbing stairs and I always take a 30-min afternoon walk. I have also worn an SI belt, which can really help; but it also after time can get irritating. I do think now that a rigorous strength routine will be the key. Many THANKS!
Kimberly Labor, Please let me know if one with this condition finds it difficult to walk too, as symptoms like pain while sitting and standing is confirmed but in my case I cannot walk for more than 5 minutes. even have a slipped disk and probably spinal stenosis because of it so confused if the pain on walking is because of the SI joint or some other reason. have it from the last 18 years or so. Will be obliged...
@@hennycfc9907 Turns out in fact I have a torn small internal hip ligament, but an A-OK hip joint. I may not have SIJ issue at all, since nothing presents on MRI. I may have a tight or strained sacrotuberous ligament: check that out; there are gentle massages for that. Nevertheless, it's still true that I find stretching to be Perilous and likely to make me worse, and strengthening exercises to be best. But each person is different, For Sure, so you have to experiment and find out which exercises hurt (= Stop doing them!!!) and which help (keep doing them gently). Long walks and stairs are still really helpful for me. All the best to you!!
I am a chiropractor in El Paso, Texas. (Del Norte Chiropractic). You can tell you enjoy your work. I just wanted to let you know I add a little slower contraction and slower retraction (about 3-4 seconds of adduction and abduction) of the band portion of this exercise and it has shown recordable muscle balance and strength as well as relief of the symptomatology. We have also incorporated the thigh master for the adduction and the bands for the abduction. I would have to agree and say without a doubt that working with the body mechanics are a must. many patient can have the miracle treatment but if they are not on board with changing their body mechanics it will not work. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise.
Del Norte Chiropractic I too added adduction and abduction strengthening to my workouts.. seems to also be a benefit with my Yoga.. the body mechanics are a must.. I know this now.. I am 54 and didn't realize even as active as I am how much I was out of shape (mechanically).
I was using a thigh master when my pain started. It definitely wasn’t the main cause because I have every bad habit he mentioned. Should I try it again?
Just stumbled upon SI Joint Pain. I was diagnosed with scoliosis 3 years ago and then recently had an MRI, I was having horrible lower back pain, and was told it was arthritis in my lower back causing inflammation and pain. After seeing this and the symptoms and the location of the pain and doing the sacral resets to actually FEEL relief for once I believe I was miss diagnosed for the arthritis. Time to back to the doctor for the 30th time lol
My pelvis has not been right for 47 years since I birthed large babies. I have had progress over the years if I kept my weight down, and did yoga several times a week. Now that I am in my late 60s, I am struggling to walk without low back and hip pain and sciatica. I had an MRI last week and my GP did tell me to stop the stretching to see if I was aggravating the joints. So now hopefully back to the pelvic PT specialist that I went to last year ...she helped me a lot!
Fantastic Video! Clear, precise and detailed information. I am a certified Yoga Instructor and Healer who has begun working with a male client who suffers from SI issues in the left hip/joint and am researching as much as possible to alleviate his issues. This has been SO helpful!
I know your comment was years ago but I hope you continued on this . If men get urinary issues many times it can be eliminated, but medical science does not help and adds to depression
I like a PT that finds out the source FIRST BEFORE further treatment, treats the source versus guessing thru PT that could cause further damage. Great video!
I've been having pain for a few weeks now and couldn't find a solution. You guys have given me new light on the situation and made more confident in relieving my pain. Thank You
That's a very nice explanation!! I have had 3 operations, one stabilizing the pelvic ring and 2x stabilisation of the si joints. I then had more than 10 years of pain in that area and my only option was a wheelchair and laying all day. I could stay active for a long period after that. Ofcause I had help from fysio etc. But now I am 57 and the pain and trouble is getting worse and worse. I am now a junkie using lots of oxy. I write all this to warn everyone who looks your video!!!!! People, listen to this man!!!! Do these exercises, watch and train habits. Don't become an oxycodon addict. PS I don't agree with the manoeuvres of the joints. With severe instability it's a race you can't win and do a lot of harm
I had a SI joint fusion on the right side. Now I walk with a limp , have severe pelvic pain, severe pain in hip, my pain was not this severe before the fusion. I'm stuck in pain management taking Oxycodone too 😫 but it does very little. I want a revision surgery but the surgeon that performed it won't do it and I can't find anyone else to either. Sending prayers to you 🙏❤
Best video I've watched about si pain. Felt like you were talking to me, everything you said is every symptom I have. think they had my lower back fused for no reason. It never solved my pain.
I’m so sorry Christy. I have not done this surgery but read about it last night. As bad as I’m in pain and have trouble with mobility this past year, I don’t think I would ever do surgery as I’ve had other surgeries and they never fix the problem. That being said, I have made it my mission to never do any other surgery if I can possibly avoid it as there is nearly always an alternative solution I have come to learn. I would have had my appendix and gallbladder out decades ago if I would have let them. I am just fine after doing gut healing. I hope you never find yourself under the knife again. Hope you find relief from your pain. 💕
Lots of great informations . And one of the best video . Can you make a newer version of this video with better quality and noise free. Since this one is over 7 years old thank you so much
I started a Chi kung routine called Ba Duan Jin (8 pieces of brocade) that has strengthened my back so that it doesn't give out anymore from my S.I. joint problem. I highly recommend the Chi kung routine I mentioned, they are soft simple exercises that promote all around good health, strength, flexibility and posture.
Your description fits me perfectly. I have been doing piriformis stretches to no avail. Thank you for both the strengthening exercises and the admonition about changing habits.
Exactly. I was doing piriformis stretches for about a year🥴 Then I finally figured out it was the SI joint. The strengthening exercises did nothing to heal the joint so I kept researching. I found the Serola hip belt, bought the right size, wore it 24/7 for three weeks and my SI joint is healed after years of pain. Now the strengthening exercises are actually working. Good luck!
Coupling SIJ dysfunction with spondylolisthesis Grade 2 is horrible. This video is great for my SIJ. I don’t strengthen and it shows bc I’ll go get my hip adjusted and it’s already out by the time I get home from the adjustment.
I just had and SI joint injection and it confirmed my SI Joint diagnosis. I had numbness in my leg the first day post procedure and by the third day, my vice gripping pain around the right groin, hip, and lateral thigh was gone. By the fifth day, I got up in the morning pain free for the first time in three months! I gained weight due to immobility and oral steroids. My anesthesiologist told me I am not 200% and have a lot more work to lose the weight to lessen the stress on my spine and SI joints, and restart and continue my physical therapy. Suffering through the agonizing pain and immobility for the last three months is something I do not want to repeat as much as possible. I am already on day 3 of my physical therapy exercise and I am now starting back on my peloton bike doing ROMs with very little resistance at all. I am determined to do everything to keep that pain under control. That pain devastated my personal and professional life and my doctor warned me that I might need 2-4 more injections. If I can continue to strengthen the muscles and ligaments around d the SI joints, I know I am doing the best so can to optimize my pre tentative treatment. Thank you for the explanation. I would not ever wish this excruciating debilitating pain on anyone even my enemies!
I can't tell you how much this video has helped me. I've been suffering with pain for 11 years. After doing some research based on my symptoms, I've realized sacroiliac joint dysfunction is most likely the cause. I also have disc herniations, which may play a role, but I don't think is the main cause of my pain. Unfortunately I live in NY and won't be able to visit your office. I will however be making an appointment to see if I can get a joint injection/block to help diagnose this issue (is this something you would recommend as I've learned this is tricky to diagnose) Just want to say thank you for this video and doing this for people. :)
Hi, really appreciative for your videos at this time. I am hypermobile and flexible and of larger, but historically fit build for a 5'9 woman. I realize now that many of the things i've been doing for last 2 yrs of suffering excruciating lower right back pain has been providing me temp relief but doing worse harm. Namely, as the pain got worse, a) I changed away from typical strengthening type exercise to more passive stretching exercise and, out of necessity due to hip pain on that side, stopped my mainstay trailrunning which probably did a great deal for my core stability; and b) I found one position that allowed me to sleep at night which was to lay on my stomach and pull my right knee up to my shoulder. To this day when i need immediate relief i splay that hip out when sitting, laying on my back , or laying on my stomach. I thought my lower back pain of last two years was sufficiently life altering and diminishing, but i didn't even know for pain. As of the last 2 months, my back pain is now accompanied by shooting pain down my right leg and a charliehorsed buttock and thigh which lasts for the first 1/4 and last 1/4 of my day and any time i sit or lay or stand for too long. Rolling over, or trying to get out of bed without inducing an electric shock is a mental minegame. Getting up from a chair or couch and taking first steps, and sadly even brushing my teeth or feeding my cat are some of the more painful and crushing to the spirit of a 46yo who 3 yrs ago was regularly running 10k. I have not yet seen relief, but i'm doing your exercises every morning and am going to start doing them throughout the day as well. Just hearing you acknowledge and describe so precisely the pain i'm feeling gives me some hope that i'm finally on the right path here with stability and strengthening and keeping moving.
Dude you kneed to stop sleeping on your stomach!! That’s a big no no!!!!!! Sleep straight with pillow below your knees or on your side with pillow between knees.
Where is the exercise back to normal video? I was hurt by a chiropractor in Estero Fl Kinexis, Dr. Dave. He has made a mess of me in one single session. Dropped hisfull weight into my right Sacrum area and now I have been having SI issues for 4 months!!! But How do I strengthen this area safely? I'm a 30yr pilates instructor I can not have this!! I do not want to make it worse so what do I do? I have inner thigh pain some days, I have actual SI joint pain Rgt side, and Sciatica pain now!! Help
I've been diagnosed with this today, this video is spot on. It was probably caused by my posture while sitting, over many years Iwould lean or slouch to my right hand side on our couch. My next step is physio and stretches to correct the harm I've done.
It was nice listening to you I am Physiotherapist from India and my area of interest is pelvic area which includes SI joint Dysfunction and coccyx pain.
The buzz is almost certainly from the power supply coming from the wall. a 50 or 60 Hz hum depending on which country you are in, and subsequent harmonics. One of the best way to deal with this is to have a power conditioner, but it can be dealt with in post as well using filters. :)
I've been struggling with this for yrs. I've had 7 babies...and I used to be a runner but was forced to give up my sport due to this pain. I'd love to solve it!
@Vanessa I began having serious problems at about age 28-30ish. Chiropractor helped. But then at about age 50-51 the pain became where it began limiting my athletic pursuits.
Great recommendations. I wish I could get you to treat my SI joint!! I have been in so much pain since my car accident two and half years ago. Great information thank you 🙏🏽
Had an injury on one side from a fall. Slipped on wet steps and skidded down them in the seated position on the left side. So my left side, SI and all the muscles, glutes, pain shooting doen leg, etc....always hurts. Though my chiropractor says it's almost always my right side that goes out and sometimes my L5. Injury happened in 2003 and I'm about to start PT for the third time. I'm not too hopeful. In the past I've had a lot of pain and discouragement. Strengthening the muscles just irritate my sciatic nerve more and create more pain. The muscles in the glute and lower back spasm and get in knots. So I absolutely have to stretch or there are going to be issues. Half the time my PTs don't make the time to massage all the muscles or treat the knots that occur. In my opinion, that is the trouble! I also think my psoas is involved and that being a difficult one to treat but hasn't been considered in past treatment. I need a permanent treatment. At this point I'd rather have surgery to fix rather than have to have my back pop back out after being put in by the chiropractor within 24 hours. It's worth surgery. Instead my doc talks about referring me to a pain clinic?????? I can't deal with temporary fixes and bandaids anymore. My muscles don't hold things in place.
If the SI joint is not stuck but highly mobile-clunking in and out of position, do you still recommend a grade 5 lumbar-pelvic mobilisation? The pain in si joint, groin, thigh and outside of knee is on left side but when I try and reset by lying down and pointing toe and squeezing buttock, it is the right side that clicks. I have been doing shoulder bridge and clams for some months now. Thank you
I tuned out the buzzing sound somehow. Became awsre6of it by reading the comments. Very interesting and informative. I think I may be on the way to some relief.
How do you know that what you're feeling is SI Joint pain and not something else? I get pain on both sides but it feels different; right side is like a tightness; left side feels raw/sore. If been told my SI joint is unstable.
I tried doing strengthening and stability exercises for my SI joint issue and it made my iliac crest hurt soooo much ..when I do IT band stretches in standing using the wall..it makes me wanna cry from the pain at the lateral side of my hip. Also my psoas feel so painful. I have to keep stretching it out. Also...to add to this message.... my piriformis is super tight and I only get relief doing pigeon pose stretches. This is the worst thing I've had ever. How in the world will I ever get rid of this?
I have degenerative scoliosis. I was also recently diagnosed with si. My doctor recommended that I follow your utube exercise program for one week to confirm her suspected diagnosis. Meaning, if at the end of the week my condition has improved then continue pt. Otherwise, she is concerned that I may have a ruptured disk. My question is how many times per day can I do the three exercises? I don't want to over do it and possibly cause more issues. In addition, I received a new hip a year ago. Thank you!!!
I started wearing a waist trainer belt around my hip/buttock area. Couldn't do almost anything for a whole month and once i started wearing the belt the pain reduced 50%. Within a few days of wearing it 24/7 i have slight pain and aching still but wow i can do so much more. I don't need any painkillers not even panadol. This belt has saved me in more ways than one.
I took a fall landing on my right posterior SI joint area 3 years ago. It's been getting horribly worse not interfering with my hip shifting from one side to the other with pain in the femurs. I have had discomfort in the pubic symphysis along with trying to keep my back straight when walking. There has been so many other related pain issues since this pelvic shift it's been unbearable. The latest that came up is with my right knee. My femur seems to be offline due to the pelvic shift. My life has been hell. All of my hobbies such as diving, skiing, camping has has come to a sudden halt. I have lived with severe aching pain since the fall. I went to a therapist and the exercises were obviously the wrong ones for SI Joint pain. The night after those exercises were unbearable. I am willing to travel to any therapist who understands SI joint
this is a life saving. Thank you for making me understand clearly of what is going on with me. so it's the SPD relaxing hormone which has caused all the problem for me. I shall see out for a PT soon
If you have heaviness, you’ll know what that is. It is a heaviness in your legs. I can’t even lift my legs due to the heaviness caused by si joint problems.
I have severe Syphosis of the pubis, finding out that is what it was after having it for 30 years. Affects my ability to do most jobs. No doctor or PT seems to have an answer. Was told they believe it happened when I was about to give birth and couldn't, had to have C -sections. My womb was not opening, like it was welded. But they indicated I had the reactin problem. They say now there is to much arthritis to do surgery. I have resorted to getting SI injections in the past but no longer receive those. I am at my wits end. My whole life has been affected because if this and I am so frustrated NO doctor told me about this until it was to late and had to go through so many doctors and exrays. I live in Canada. Do you have any suggestions for me? Remember though, I have arthritis there now. Please help if you can? I am desperate. I am 58. Just want my life back finally. Thank you
I'm so sorry I hope you can find Help. I had to have C- sections Also, I have 4 children. One of the especially said that my pelvic doesn't open properly only on 1 side. But I don't know why or how he determined that. About 10 years ago I became permanently Disabled can barely walk, sit or stand😢 the pain never goes away. I'm going for injections on Monday. And then I plan on getting the s. I joint belt to help support. And maybe some type of physical therapy. I have heard though there is some type of surgery regarding this. But I haven't totally looked into it. I wish you all the best and hope that you can find comfort and healing
@@1truthse3ker thank you. I hope you find relief as well. If you can find a specialist that will consider you for surgery ( if that is what is needed) then you should find someone sooner than later. My dumb doctor let me go for tears and now they can't do surgery because it has become a more rare seriousness. To much arthritis to operate now.
Thank you for this! Wondering if you ever have clients who get numbness in the groin area after about 30 minutes of wearing the belt. I've noticed this even with low amounts of tension and am trying to figure out how to mitigate. Thanks for your consideration!
In addition to si joint pain problems, mine is the worst muscle spasms and sciatic pains on right leg all day constantly. The moment I get out of stomach resting and hanging on bedside position. Can't sit sleep or stand. Red light therapy was the only pain away I get temporarily relief.
Hi, I've been suffering SI joint pain for 3 years now but nobody seems to be able to diagnose it properly. I am currently seeing a womens' health physio who refuses to believe that the ligaments could be damaged - she says ligaments are too strong! As such she's been manipulating my hips and getting me to do hip strengthening exercises to help my sticky left hip. I am at my wits end with pain and frustration so I will be looking for a private (not NHS, who I am currently under) physio to see if they can give me any help. How do I tell my current physio that she's not looking at the real problem?? I wish our NHS physios had more of this kind of knowledge and would open their minds to the possibility that the patient may actually know where the pain is coming from. I also asked her if the ultimate damage could have been caused by negative G force. I was taking a gliding lesson when I lost speed so the instructor took over and threw us into a nosedive that I wasn't expecting. It was that night that I stood up from the sofa and was locked. The nightmare had begun! Sorry, I've rattled on here but nobody really seems to understand. It has also caused fibromyalgia which just adds to the problems!
A good sports massage therapist can also help with si joint pain... Most of us are trained to know this stuff as well.. so if you can't find a PT ask your local massage therapists🖤
@@NansGlobalKitchen try looking into and calling massage places as well as spas and see if any of their therapists can do sports massage and focus on your issues
good day you say no need to stretch, stabilize,I have not seen any improvement, I have been stabilizing for over 3 months,by the way I have AS for along time,how to fix it thank you .
How do I access the free report? I have been suffering with left si joint problems, after 2 herniated discs and none on bone hip and knee joints... Walking with 2 canes for 2 years...
I have ME/fibromyalgia and have severe pelvic pain. Most of the time I’m lying down in bed or on settee. It is very painful to sit and really impacts my life as I can only sit upright for 1/4 hour at most without pain...after that I’m trying to find some way of easing it. Have now watched video that you recommend for stabilising joint.
I think that the reason most people have right SI pain is that most people are right handed, but what do people have in their right hand? A person standing with chalk, cigarette, drink or whatever in their right hand puts more weight on their right leg and even slightly leans to the right as they stand there with whatever in their right hand. Try it, pretend you are doing any of the above and check out your stance when you do so. I have just recently been diagnosed with SI joint dysfunction and I am desperate to ease the pain which is why I came across your videos...THANK YOU for the exercising.
My MRI report is..... Deficient left lamina of S5 with Dural ectasia. N also urine problem, 8-10 time urination. Left side buttock pain,lower abdomen pain,bladder not empty,etc Please help
Really enjoyed this video! I have long term SI joint issues diagnosed and treated by an osteopath. Stabilization exercises and manual therapy have helped tremendously. My SI still gets aggravated by forward bending movements. You hit the nail on the head regarding how women shave their legs! Any suggestions for other positions for shaving legs that might not aggravate the SI. That is one issue that has completely got me stumped. (BTW - I stopped doing my own pedicures a long time ago!)
Any advise for severe snapping hip syndrome with IT band pain, SI pain and severe trochanter. Pain in trochanter because of severe trochanter bursitis my hip is size of grapefruit.
Hi Chad. Great video. Is there any chance you can recommend a physio therapist in Auckland, New Zealand? I am about to ring around to see if I can find, but I was hoping on the off chance you might know someone. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thanks again
Hi im having si joint pain from past 4 5 months and i havent stoped deadlifting the exercises in other videos are helping me and i have stoped lowerbody workout from past 3 weeks i am a powerlifter i just need to know for how long should i keep away from deadlifts bcoz heavy deadlifts give me si joint pain on my right side thanx
The real culprit behind arthritis is inflammation and the root cause of inflammation is largely a diet high in carbohydrates. The first primary step to take in reducing inflammation in a big way is to go a low carbohydrate "ketogenic" diet. High carb consumption are the root cause of most autoimmune and degenerative diseases including heart disease and diabetes. Carbs cause inflammation at the cellular level and when foods containing carbs and fats are heated, this is called "glycation" which leads to oxidation, which leads to inflammation. Also, if one is consuming high amounts of omega 6 fatty acids found in "vegetable" oils and many nuts and seeds, this is also causing a lot of inflammation. Another big deal is vitamin K2. Without proper amounts, we cannot metabolize calcium. This is why so many have osteoarthritis, kidney stones, cataracts, calcium in the heart, and calculus (tarar) build up in the teeth. When I began to take a Full Spectrum K2, the tarter stopped and a band keratopathy in my right eye began to improve! I had suffered with terrible arthritis and degenerative disease in my spine and hips until I went of a very low carb diet while implementing more omega 3 fatty oils found in salmon and cod liver/krill oils. Make sure you get the proper amounts of the fat soluble vitamins A, E D and K.
@@DanScottChannel thank you for this information. What is your field called? The information is mostly over my head. I can possibly copy it and research everything but I am asking if my hmo Kaiser Permanente might have someone with your knowledge?. What is your field called? Thanks
I have a particularly bad problem I have been fused from my L23 -Sl this is occurred over a 35-year period the last one was 5 months ago and now with chronic SI dysfunction hypermobility years of treatment including sclerotherapy the innervation injections my sacrum and my ilium are locking up and it's the most excruciating pain I've ever had in my life and the only thing that relieves it is the chiropractor by using a drop table to get my sacrum to move again but he even said I do need specialty Care no one really talks about fused people and what they can do but now I can honestly say this last surgery was a failure because I'm in worse pain now than I was before my surgery and I'm seeing a pain management specialist again tomorrow and I will discuss with him about a physical therapist or a physiotherapist that does this grade 5 hands on treatment but other than that it's such a mixed bag and I have tried literally everything I wear a belt all the time I have to but I have no stability now and it's just the pain is like a stabbing pain in the middle of my back or my left side. Any suggestions I live in Reno nevada?
Did you have SI joint stabilization surgery for some type of fusion with metal? LinQ Allograft is less invasive (2 inch incision orthoscopic). It's what my spine doctor wants me to do.
My aha moment, was when he mentioned pregnant women, carrying a toddler on one hip. I’m part of the small percentage of people with worse SI joint pain, on my left side. Being right handed, meant I carried my toddlers on my left side. My purse is carried on my left side, for the same reason.
You say shaving for us women, but got news for you! We also all have to wash our feet, and it’s hard to do without same bending as shaving. In fact it’s worse because we have to reach all around our feet, further than bottom of calf to shave! I’ve really noticed this since my ancient 20yo SI problem reactivated badly a few months go, hasn’t really let up yet.
I am in IRELAND Im going to a chiropractor he keeps cracking my lower back and sends me off but the pain is still there its from Tennis , I asked him should I do any exercise for it and he says just play away your tennis but its very stiff the next day after tennis ...
What do U suggest for Si joint erosion? I have some erosion on my left hip. I also had an accident on a city bus a few years ago. I was thrown hard on to the bus floor on my left hip. So I now have serious hip pain & almost bone on bone. I may have to have hip surgery. A few years ago I also fractured my L4 in my back. It was after my bus accident, but when I was thrown to the floor of the bus. What is a good idea to do for my Si joint pelvic erosion & horrific pain? I have been told I have AS by Ruhemotolgist, but another 1 said she wasn't sure it was As. She thinks it just might b degenerative osteoarthritis. How can I know if the bus accident started all this damage? What can I do to stop the Si joint erosion & maybe avoid robotic left hip surgery? My 1 rheumatologist thinks I should start Consentyx. The doctor who thinks I have AS. I am thinking I should try Si joint injections, with an Xray guide & dye 1st then the NCF shots. I worry because I just got over Malt Lymphoma recently. I have heard that shot can increase a risk for Lymphoma. I wish to try it for a few months & see if the erosion stops. I do not favor Si joint surgery. I have heard it isn't that successful. Anyhow hope U have some ideas for me. I do live in Santa Monica, Ca. I am in my 70ty's & am overweight due to not moving much due to my pain. I also understand with AS people have fatigue & lose weight.neither has happened to me so I am thinking my Si erosion may NOT b AS!. Any thoughts or suggestions for doctors to address this in Santa Monica, Ca or nearby areas where I live. getting around is difficult. I have no family & little funds... Any suggestions I can research would b appreciated. Thanks.
I have SI joint pain (which perhaps more prominent on my left side) while I simultaneously have a jumpers knee on my left side. This often causes me to shift my weight towards my right knee. How can I now cure hip imbalance that follows without irritating my knee?
I am so glad to find these videos! I'm excited to try the exercises in the other video to help with some sort of relief! I hope my local PT can help me out as much as just your videos have. Thanks so much for posting this and the other video as well.
If leaning over one leg when shaving is one habit that causes the problem, does that mean doing some yoga poses where you lean over one leg is bad for the SI joint as well?
i've popped my si joint out posteriorly doing 1 leg leaning over in yoga.. be careful! I wish I could see the other comments here.. looking for all the support i can get!
I have SI joint pain. It's taken me a few years to figure out. I did yoga for 10 years and was very good at it. In my recent research into SI joint pain I learned that certain yoga poses, as you suggest, should be avoided. Wish I knew that earlier... I always thought stretching was what was needed but it's stabilizing!
I have a buldging disc in my l5-s1 with a little pertrusion on my left side... I've done 3 ESIs, months of PT, 3 trigger point injections, 3 prolotherapy injections, 3 platelet rich plasma injections, deep tissue massages, and chiropratic and PT together. I've seen 4 back specialists, 2 chiro, and 2 PTs. No one can fix me. It hurts when I breathe, When I swallow, pretty much everything hurts my lower right back side in my hip... Chiros have seen my right hip is displaced and my right leg is longer... Is this a possibility?
@@tanjalunden3070 I'm left-handed. My pain is on the right side. Maybe it's because I keep my wallet in my right rear pocket, but I have no idea how true this is for most people. Mystery
I've now been to 2 physios, both said they were familiar with grade 5 lumbo pelvic manipulation, but in reality they weren't. One simply pulled my leg (figuratively and actually), the other refused to do one (after saying she could). Of course both charge more for their initial assessment (dr, sport dr, chiro, etc all said it's my si joint.... I don't need another assessment). Do I need to make a road trip? This is getting old.
Can you recommend a good chiropractor in the palm beach area or close...everything you said is about me, especially the part about sitting on my wallet (I’m a truck driver). Or I will come by your office if needs be. I’m suffering daily for almost a year. Please help.
I got a Serola hip belt and after a couple of years of constant pain and the occasional week of not being able to move, it's completely healed!!!!! It took three weeks of wearing it 24/7. Now I wear it when I'm doing any heavy work and my strengthening exercises. I was doing strengthening exercises and stretches but they weren't working until I had the belt. Now I can see the benefits of the strengthening because the belt reduced the swelling and my SI joint was able to heal. I can exercise everyday for 30 minutes, walk as much as I want, sit, stand, drive, whatever and NO PAIN. I'm in love with this belt.
Can u share the belt pic
@@mrsmustafa7964 I can't provide a link in the comments I guess, it just deletes my comment. I bought my belt from Amazon. They come in four different sizes so make sure to measure around the widest part of your hips for the proper measurement of you decide to get one! If you just search Serola hip belt you will find them online.
@NatsGhost thank you for that information! I've just figured out that my low back and hip feel better if I tie them together with a yoga strap. I wouldn't have thought to sleep in a belt or use it when trying to strengthen the surrounding muscles!
I bought the belt but it was making my back go into spasms
Im ordering one. Thanks for the tip. Hope it helps
Been doing massage therapy for 16 years I am 53 and I am dying from pain at times. This makes so much sense 👏🏿
Looking over vids I watched in the past. Now 5 years of SI joint nightmare and I’ve tried everything. I literally mean everything! 2024 Clamshell exercises with a ban on my ankle made a breakthrough for me though. Doing so other stabilizing exercises also.
FYI…. Never Stop moving. You’ll only become stiff and weak. Believe it or not other problems will develop also from not moving especially as you agree with this problem.
I hope that this helps someone. ❤
Thank you- needed to hear this. Injections are not the answer!
FYI: To avoid most of the buzzing sound and go straight to “treatment,” click this 👉 7:15
BTW- There are no exercises for SI stability in this video. The main recommendation is to call for a PT or chiropractic appointment with someone who can do a Grade 5 Lumbopelvic mobilization or subscribe to his newsletter for tips. Somewhat of a bait and switch title, so I wanted to save you from having to endure the buzzing sound.
THANK YOU! You deserve a cape (just like Freddie)
Thank you
I think is excellent advice for a PT student. The main key is to not stretch, instead strengthen.
Why? Glute mid, min, maximus, piriformis need to be strengthen to hold the pelvis in its place.
Get an adjustment to the SI.
Massage therapist in Canada can only do joint mobilization up to grade 4. Grade 5 is granted to chiropractors.
At 4:30 he talks about habits that cause problems.. how you stand, how you sleep, shaving legs, crossing legs when sitting, being pregnant, men sitting on a wallet... stretching ligaments in the pelvis causes problems, can cause wear and tear over time.
Actually, it is an information video about the general problem and it’s treatment. It does not claim to be a self-manipulation/exercise video. He directs you to the exercise video, dick
The good news is can get better and when it finally starts healing and the moments without pain become hours without pain, you will feel like a champion. I’ve had it really bad for over two years and could barely walk. Now I’m seeing improvements daily and it’s so exciting.
Giving me hope! Thank u
How are you today?
@@RacquelleBella I went to a soft tissue guy in So Cal and I got better in two visits. Good luck.
I've had pain in my lhs SJ for 15 yrs just recently the awful pain is in my rhs joint. Pain only stops when I sit. Agony when walking, standing even after seconds. Had injections , physio etc. Now on waiting list for sacroiliac joint fusion, should happen next few wks. Wish my pain hadn't lasted so long!
Great information... I have been suffering for 2 yrs with pain in my buttocks, and I have told 3 Chiropractors, 2 pain specialist (2 epidurals no relief), 2 surgeons advice for surgery for diagnosed bulging/herniated discs... this year everything got worse agonizing pain shoots down my leg from my buttocks to my ankle, numbness & tingling I have been on Medical since the beginning of November, my right hip is so high I freaked out when I noticed it, i have never complained about back pain... I have told everyone I don't have back pain... I found a chiropractor who has started Disc Decompression and found that my Sacrum is off... now I think we can get down to business.. I have shared with him these videos.. thank you!!!! I can't wait for relief...
This is excellent thank you! Happy to report that after close to 20 years of pain on and off I sought treatment (again) and found a great physio who is practicing all of these steps with me!
mrseastofmain just curious , how are you feeling these days? Did the PT helped?
Great video and explanation. Shame about the buzzing sound. I nearly skipped past, but your temperament kept me watching.Thanks.
You have nailed every one of my symptoms and the advice to get a good physical therapist is GOLD! Thank you so much!! I wish I lived in your area but I'm so thankful you are sharing this information with people because it is hard to get a good diagnosis and subsequent treatment for this issue and that's a shame. Thank you!!! This is the first video I've watched but I'm on to scour your channel
SI and butt pain sure is stubborn, but I think you are very right that stretching does NOT help, and strengthening really is the solution. I've had left SI/butt pain for a year & recently realized that my diligent exercise routine is way too stretch-oriented with not enough strength. For the past 2 days, I've stopped the specific stretching & have been doing strength exerc.: clamshell, bridge, side leg lifts, front leg lifts, lying-prone leg lifts--and now I'm actually starting to feel better! I also like climbing stairs and I always take a 30-min afternoon walk. I have also worn an SI belt, which can really help; but it also after time can get irritating. I do think now that a rigorous strength routine will be the key. Many THANKS!
Kimberly Labor i
Kimberly Labor, Please let me know if one with this condition finds it difficult to walk too, as symptoms like pain while sitting and standing is confirmed but in my case I cannot walk for more than 5 minutes. even have a slipped disk and probably spinal stenosis because of it so confused if the pain on walking is because of the SI joint or some other reason. have it from the last 18 years or so. Will be obliged...
do you still have si joint pain? Did you find anything else that helped?
@@hennycfc9907 Turns out in fact I have a torn small internal hip ligament, but an A-OK hip joint. I may not have SIJ issue at all, since nothing presents on MRI. I may have a tight or strained sacrotuberous ligament: check that out; there are gentle massages for that. Nevertheless, it's still true that I find stretching to be Perilous and likely to make me worse, and strengthening exercises to be best. But each person is different, For Sure, so you have to experiment and find out which exercises hurt (= Stop doing them!!!) and which help (keep doing them gently). Long walks and stairs are still really helpful for me. All the best to you!!
Kimberly Labor thanks for replying. Ive been dealing with si joint pain for over 4 years now. Hopefully this will help. Wish you the best as well!
I am a chiropractor in El Paso, Texas. (Del Norte Chiropractic). You can tell you enjoy your work. I just wanted to let you know I add a little slower contraction and slower retraction (about 3-4 seconds of adduction and abduction) of the band portion of this exercise and it has shown recordable muscle balance and strength as well as relief of the symptomatology. We have also incorporated the thigh master for the adduction and the bands for the abduction. I would have to agree and say without a doubt that working with the body mechanics are a must. many patient can have the miracle treatment but if they are not on board with changing their body mechanics it will not work. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise.
Del Norte Chiropractic I too added adduction and abduction strengthening to my workouts.. seems to also be a benefit with my Yoga.. the body mechanics are a must.. I know this now.. I am 54 and didn't realize even as active as I am how much I was out of shape (mechanically).
I was using a thigh master when my pain started. It definitely wasn’t the main cause because I have every bad habit he mentioned. Should I try it again?
U ppl dont know pain
@@unhingedunicorn423 how stupid. We people don't know your pain by that silly post. Not very helpful are you
Im from el paso and i was so disappointed about the chiropractor i went for this today. I need an expert on SI please. You still around?
Just stumbled upon SI Joint Pain. I was diagnosed with scoliosis 3 years ago and then recently had an MRI, I was having horrible lower back pain, and was told it was arthritis in my lower back causing inflammation and pain. After seeing this and the symptoms and the location of the pain and doing the sacral resets to actually FEEL relief for once I believe I was miss diagnosed for the arthritis. Time to back to the doctor for the 30th time lol
My pelvis has not been right for 47 years since I birthed large babies.
I have had progress over the years if I kept my weight down, and did yoga several times a week.
Now that I am in my late 60s, I am struggling to walk without low back and hip pain and sciatica.
I had an MRI last week and my GP did tell me to stop the stretching to see if I was aggravating the joints.
So now hopefully back to the pelvic PT specialist that I went to last year ...she helped me a lot!
Fantastic Video! Clear, precise and detailed information. I am a certified Yoga Instructor and Healer who has begun working with a male client who suffers from SI issues in the left hip/joint and am researching as much as possible to alleviate his issues. This has been SO helpful!
I know your comment was years ago but I hope you continued on this .
If men get urinary issues many times it can be eliminated, but medical science does not help and adds to depression
@@john24gold1 thank you for your response, and although I have long stopped working for that client, your video is one that I often refer to.
Hi I have the same I am female I saceoilitis issue please help
I like a PT that finds out the source FIRST BEFORE further treatment, treats the source versus guessing thru PT that could cause further damage. Great video!
I've been having pain for a few weeks now and couldn't find a solution. You guys have given me new light on the situation and made more confident in relieving my pain. Thank You
same!
Did this helped you ??
@@gouravsingh8976 I have this same pain 😭
That's a very nice explanation!! I have had 3 operations, one stabilizing the pelvic ring and 2x stabilisation of the si joints. I then had more than 10 years of pain in that area and my only option was a wheelchair and laying all day. I could stay active for a long period after that. Ofcause I had help from fysio etc. But now I am 57 and the pain and trouble is getting worse and worse. I am now a junkie using lots of oxy. I write all this to warn everyone who looks your video!!!!! People, listen to this man!!!! Do these exercises, watch and train habits. Don't become an oxycodon addict.
PS I don't agree with the manoeuvres of the joints. With severe instability it's a race you can't win and do a lot of harm
I had a SI joint fusion on the right side. Now I walk with a limp , have severe pelvic pain, severe pain in hip, my pain was not this severe before the fusion. I'm stuck in pain management taking Oxycodone too 😫 but it does very little. I want a revision surgery but the surgeon that performed it won't do it and I can't find anyone else to either. Sending prayers to you 🙏❤
@@jennifercarter3028 Really sorry for your suffering. How are you doing now?
Thank you for sharing this and thinking of others!
How do you know if you have a problem with the SI joint and not the Stenosis?
Best video I've watched about si pain. Felt like you were talking to me, everything you said is every symptom I have. think they had my lower back fused for no reason. It never solved my pain.
I’m so sorry Christy. I have not done this surgery but read about it last night. As bad as I’m in pain and have trouble with mobility this past year, I don’t think I would ever do surgery as I’ve had other surgeries and they never fix the problem. That being said, I have made it my mission to never do any other surgery if I can possibly avoid it as there is nearly always an alternative solution I have come to learn. I would have had my appendix and gallbladder out decades ago if I would have let them. I am just fine after doing gut healing. I hope you never find yourself under the knife again. Hope you find relief from your pain. 💕
Lots of great informations . And one of the best video . Can you make a newer version of this video with better quality and noise free. Since this one is over 7 years old thank you so much
I started a Chi kung routine called Ba Duan Jin (8 pieces of brocade) that has strengthened my back so that it doesn't give out anymore from my S.I. joint problem. I highly recommend the Chi kung routine I mentioned, they are soft simple exercises that promote all around good health, strength, flexibility and posture.
Your description fits me perfectly. I have been doing piriformis stretches to no avail. Thank you for both the strengthening exercises and the admonition about changing habits.
Exactly. I was doing piriformis stretches for about a year🥴 Then I finally figured out it was the SI joint. The strengthening exercises did nothing to heal the joint so I kept researching. I found the Serola hip belt, bought the right size, wore it 24/7 for three weeks and my SI joint is healed after years of pain. Now the strengthening exercises are actually working. Good luck!
Coupling SIJ dysfunction with spondylolisthesis Grade 2 is horrible. This video is great for my SIJ. I don’t strengthen and it shows bc I’ll go get my hip adjusted and it’s already out by the time I get home from the adjustment.
I just had and SI joint injection and it confirmed my SI Joint diagnosis. I had numbness in my leg the first day post procedure and by the third day, my vice gripping pain around the right groin, hip, and lateral thigh was gone. By the fifth day, I got up in the morning pain free for the first time in three months! I gained weight due to immobility and oral steroids. My anesthesiologist told me I am not 200% and have a lot more work to lose the weight to lessen the stress on my spine and SI joints, and restart and continue my physical therapy. Suffering through the agonizing pain and immobility for the last three months is something I do not want to repeat as much as possible. I am already on day 3 of my physical therapy exercise and I am now starting back on my peloton bike doing ROMs with very little resistance at all. I am determined to do everything to keep that pain under control. That pain devastated my personal and professional life and my doctor warned me that I might need 2-4 more injections. If I can continue to strengthen the muscles and ligaments around d the SI joints, I know I am doing the best so can to optimize my pre tentative treatment. Thank you for the explanation. I would not ever wish this excruciating debilitating pain on anyone even my enemies!
I can't tell you how much this video has helped me. I've been suffering with pain for 11 years. After doing some research based on my symptoms, I've realized sacroiliac joint dysfunction is most likely the cause. I also have disc herniations, which may play a role, but I don't think is the main cause of my pain. Unfortunately I live in NY and won't be able to visit your office. I will however be making an appointment to see if I can get a joint injection/block to help diagnose this issue (is this something you would recommend as I've learned this is tricky to diagnose) Just want to say thank you for this video and doing this for people. :)
Hi, really appreciative for your videos at this time. I am hypermobile and flexible and of larger, but historically fit build for a 5'9 woman. I realize now that many of the things i've been doing for last 2 yrs of suffering excruciating lower right back pain has been providing me temp relief but doing worse harm. Namely, as the pain got worse,
a) I changed away from typical strengthening type exercise to more passive stretching exercise and, out of necessity due to hip pain on that side, stopped my mainstay trailrunning which probably did a great deal for my core stability; and
b) I found one position that allowed me to sleep at night which was to lay on my stomach and pull my right knee up to my shoulder.
To this day when i need immediate relief i splay that hip out when sitting, laying on my back , or laying on my stomach. I thought my lower back pain of last two years was sufficiently life altering and diminishing, but i didn't even know for pain. As of the last 2 months, my back pain is now accompanied by shooting pain down my right leg and a charliehorsed buttock and thigh which lasts for the first 1/4 and last 1/4 of my day and any time i sit or lay or stand for too long. Rolling over, or trying to get out of bed without inducing an electric shock is a mental minegame. Getting up from a chair or couch and taking first steps, and sadly even brushing my teeth or feeding my cat are some of the more painful and crushing to the spirit of a 46yo who 3 yrs ago was regularly running 10k.
I have not yet seen relief, but i'm doing your exercises every morning and am going to start doing them throughout the day as well. Just hearing you acknowledge and describe so precisely the pain i'm feeling gives me some hope that i'm finally on the right path here with stability and strengthening and keeping moving.
pls let us know if the exercises help you :-)
I have the same symptoms. Are you getting better?
Dude you kneed to stop sleeping on your stomach!! That’s a big no no!!!!!! Sleep straight with pillow below your knees or on your side with pillow between knees.
Where is the exercise back to normal video? I was hurt by a chiropractor in Estero Fl Kinexis, Dr. Dave. He has made a mess of me in one single session. Dropped hisfull weight into my right Sacrum area and now I have been having SI issues for 4 months!!! But How do I strengthen this area safely? I'm a 30yr pilates instructor I can not have this!! I do not want to make it worse so what do I do? I have inner thigh pain some days, I have actual SI joint pain Rgt side, and Sciatica pain now!! Help
I've been diagnosed with this today, this video is spot on. It was probably caused by my posture while sitting, over many years Iwould lean or slouch to my right hand side on our couch. My next step is physio and stretches to correct the harm I've done.
Aidan Murphy have you improved with physical therapy?
It was nice listening to you I am Physiotherapist from India and my area of interest is pelvic area which includes SI joint Dysfunction and coccyx pain.
I believe I have SI joint pain however its on both sides. I can't tell which side hurts more. Thank you for the video.
That’s me too
Hi can you please adjust the volume in your videos. There is a Constant buzzing going on.
I Love your channel it is so helpful....
The buzz is almost certainly from the power supply coming from the wall. a 50 or 60 Hz hum depending on which country you are in, and subsequent harmonics. One of the best way to deal with this is to have a power conditioner, but it can be dealt with in post as well using filters. :)
I've been struggling with this for yrs. I've had 7 babies...and I used to be a runner but was forced to give up my sport due to this pain. I'd love to solve it!
@Vanessa I began having serious problems at about age 28-30ish. Chiropractor helped. But then at about age 50-51 the pain became where it began limiting my athletic pursuits.
Great recommendations. I wish I could get you to treat my SI joint!! I have been in so much pain since my car accident two and half years ago. Great information thank you 🙏🏽
Had an injury on one side from a fall. Slipped on wet steps and skidded down them in the seated position on the left side. So my left side, SI and all the muscles, glutes, pain shooting doen leg, etc....always hurts. Though my chiropractor says it's almost always my right side that goes out and sometimes my L5. Injury happened in 2003 and I'm about to start PT for the third time. I'm not too hopeful. In the past I've had a lot of pain and discouragement. Strengthening the muscles just irritate my sciatic nerve more and create more pain. The muscles in the glute and lower back spasm and get in knots. So I absolutely have to stretch or there are going to be issues. Half the time my PTs don't make the time to massage all the muscles or treat the knots that occur. In my opinion, that is the trouble! I also think my psoas is involved and that being a difficult one to treat but hasn't been considered in past treatment. I need a permanent treatment. At this point I'd rather have surgery to fix rather than have to have my back pop back out after being put in by the chiropractor within 24 hours. It's worth surgery. Instead my doc talks about referring me to a pain clinic?????? I can't deal with temporary fixes and bandaids anymore. My muscles don't hold things in place.
Update?
Buzzing sound is causing issues as I’m hard of hearing and my hearing aids amplify the buzzing.
If the SI joint is not stuck but highly mobile-clunking in and out of position, do you still recommend a grade 5 lumbar-pelvic mobilisation? The pain in si joint, groin, thigh and outside of knee is on left side but when I try and reset by lying down and pointing toe and squeezing buttock, it is the right side that clicks. I have been doing shoulder bridge and clams for some months now. Thank you
What are the strengthening exercises?
Yes, hard surfaces reduce pain and strengthening over stretching -- right on in my experience! However, the sacrum is not the tailbone.
Yeah the tailbone was throwing me off too.
What are the exercises for stabilizing or strengthening the pelvic region area.
.
From INDIA
Thanks, but what ARE the stretching exercises
What ARE the strength exercises
I have an amazing chiropractor
Please send link to the free report.
I tuned out the buzzing sound somehow. Became awsre6of it by reading the comments.
Very interesting and informative.
I think I may be on the way to some relief.
I found our recently I suffer from this. I'm going to be trying your top 3 exercises for SI. I have a question. Best position to sleep?
Thank you! I wondered why I'm told not to stretch!!
How do you know that what you're feeling is SI Joint pain and not something else? I get pain on both sides but it feels different; right side is like a tightness; left side feels raw/sore. If been told my SI joint is unstable.
Squats help me I do sumo squats specifically for strength
I tried doing strengthening and stability exercises for my SI joint issue and it made my iliac crest hurt soooo much ..when I do IT band stretches in standing using the wall..it makes me wanna cry from the pain at the lateral side of my hip. Also my psoas feel so painful. I have to keep stretching it out. Also...to add to this message.... my piriformis is super tight and I only get relief doing pigeon pose stretches. This is the worst thing I've had ever. How in the world will I ever get rid of this?
Raquel Pupo i have the same problems! How are u feeling now? :/
I’m in the same boat! Makes you think what’s the point?
I have degenerative scoliosis. I was also recently diagnosed with si. My doctor recommended that I follow your utube exercise program for one week to confirm her suspected diagnosis. Meaning, if at the end of the week my condition has improved then continue pt. Otherwise, she is concerned that I may have a ruptured disk. My question is how many times per day can I do the three exercises? I don't want to over do it and possibly cause more issues. In addition, I received a new hip a year ago. Thank you!!!
great summary thanks!
Just want to let you know that the free 30 second self test link in the description isn’t working - for me, at least.
I started wearing a waist trainer belt around my hip/buttock area. Couldn't do almost anything for a whole month and once i started wearing the belt the pain reduced 50%. Within a few days of wearing it 24/7 i have slight pain and aching still but wow i can do so much more. I don't need any painkillers not even panadol. This belt has saved me in more ways than one.
Which belt name please
I'm guessing a "grade 5 lumbopelvic adjustment" is not an option with a 2-level lumbar fusion at L4-L5-S1. Or am I mistaken?
I took a fall landing on my right posterior SI joint area 3 years ago. It's been getting horribly worse not interfering with my hip shifting from one side to the other with pain in the femurs. I have had discomfort in the pubic symphysis along with trying to keep my back straight when walking. There has been so many other related pain issues since this pelvic shift it's been unbearable. The latest that came up is with my right knee. My femur seems to be offline due to the pelvic shift. My life has been hell. All of my hobbies such as diving, skiing, camping has has come to a sudden halt. I have lived with severe aching pain since the fall. I went to a therapist and the exercises were obviously the wrong ones for SI Joint pain. The night after those exercises were unbearable. I am willing to travel to any therapist who understands SI joint
i am going to Dr. Mulder (Rotterdam) this week for Prolotherapie, PRP or Ozoninjection.
this is a life saving. Thank you for making me understand clearly of what is going on with me. so it's the SPD relaxing hormone which has caused all the problem for me. I shall see out for a PT soon
What are the best go to exersises for SI joint Pain?
Thank you for your very insightful video. You identified my issue down to a T. The buzzing though ..... I look forward to more of your videos.
Can SIJD cause snapping in hip or IT band pain plus severe trochanter bursitis.
Is it normal for a 24 yr old female to have SI joint pain at that age?
what are the exercises ? strehgthening and stretching? please advise.Thnx
Suffering from "heaviness"? What's that symptom? 00:55
Pretty sure he's referring to obesity
If you have heaviness, you’ll know what that is. It is a heaviness in your legs. I can’t even lift my legs due to the heaviness caused by si joint problems.
Legs feel like bricks!
how about side sleeping? thanks
I have severe Syphosis of the pubis, finding out that is what it was after having it for 30 years. Affects my ability to do most jobs. No doctor or PT seems to have an answer. Was told they believe it happened when I was about to give birth and couldn't, had to have C -sections. My womb was not opening, like it was welded. But they indicated I had the reactin problem. They say now there is to much arthritis to do surgery. I have resorted to getting SI injections in the past but no longer receive those. I am at my wits end. My whole life has been affected because if this and I am so frustrated NO doctor told me about this until it was to late and had to go through so many doctors and exrays. I live in Canada. Do you have any suggestions for me? Remember though, I have arthritis there now. Please help if you can? I am desperate. I am 58. Just want my life back finally. Thank you
I'm so sorry I hope you can find Help. I had to have C- sections Also, I have 4 children. One of the especially said that my pelvic doesn't open properly only on 1 side. But I don't know why or how he determined that. About 10 years ago I became permanently Disabled can barely walk, sit or stand😢 the pain never goes away. I'm going for injections on Monday. And then I plan on getting the s. I joint belt to help support.
And maybe some type of physical therapy. I have heard though there is some type of surgery regarding this. But I haven't totally looked into it. I wish you all the best and hope that you can find comfort and healing
@@1truthse3ker thank you. I hope you find relief as well. If you can find a specialist that will consider you for surgery ( if that is what is needed) then you should find someone sooner than later. My dumb doctor let me go for tears and now they can't do surgery because it has become a more rare seriousness. To much arthritis to operate now.
Thank you for this! Wondering if you ever have clients who get numbness in the groin area after about 30 minutes of wearing the belt. I've noticed this even with low amounts of tension and am trying to figure out how to mitigate. Thanks for your consideration!
In addition to si joint pain problems, mine is the worst muscle spasms and sciatic pains on right leg all day constantly. The moment I get out of stomach resting and hanging on bedside position. Can't sit sleep or stand. Red light therapy was the only pain away I get temporarily relief.
Anything for Chronic knees??Senior Thanks
Hi, I've been suffering SI joint pain for 3 years now but nobody seems to be able to diagnose it properly. I am currently seeing a womens' health physio who refuses to believe that the ligaments could be damaged - she says ligaments are too strong! As such she's been manipulating my hips and getting me to do hip strengthening exercises to help my sticky left hip. I am at my wits end with pain and frustration so I will be looking for a private (not NHS, who I am currently under) physio to see if they can give me any help. How do I tell my current physio that she's not looking at the real problem?? I wish our NHS physios had more of this kind of knowledge and would open their minds to the possibility that the patient may actually know where the pain is coming from. I also asked her if the ultimate damage could have been caused by negative G force. I was taking a gliding lesson when I lost speed so the instructor took over and threw us into a nosedive that I wasn't expecting. It was that night that I stood up from the sofa and was locked. The nightmare had begun! Sorry, I've rattled on here but nobody really seems to understand. It has also caused fibromyalgia which just adds to the problems!
hi jane, find yourself a chiropractor, they know how to settle and realign the bones and can tell if there is ligament damage by your range of motion.
maybe lack of magnesium or to much aluminum in the body!!!!
Bump OP problem. Look for Gonstead chiropractor.
I have hope now. stretch was good but for just 1 day. amazing. thank you!
A good sports massage therapist can also help with si joint pain... Most of us are trained to know this stuff as well.. so if you can't find a PT ask your local massage therapists🖤
I wish If I can find a good massage therapist who knows about this in my area!😪 I am suffering daily!
@@NansGlobalKitchen well I sincerely hope you can find someone soon who can help with your pain 🙏
@@NansGlobalKitchen try looking into and calling massage places as well as spas and see if any of their therapists can do sports massage and focus on your issues
@@DWhitney34436 Oh my thankyou so much! I did not expect anyone to reply so quickly! Thanks again God bless❤🙏
good day you say no need to stretch, stabilize,I have not seen any improvement, I have been stabilizing for over 3 months,by the way I have AS for along time,how to fix it thank you .
How do I access the free report? I have been suffering with left si joint problems, after 2 herniated discs and none on bone hip and knee joints... Walking with 2 canes for 2 years...
I have ME/fibromyalgia and have severe pelvic pain. Most of the time I’m lying down in bed or on settee. It is very painful to sit and really impacts my life as I can only sit upright for 1/4 hour at most without pain...after that I’m trying to find some way of easing it. Have now watched video that you recommend for stabilising joint.
I am suffering from left side pelvic and si joint i get pain everyday how can i cure it plz
tirupati naidu me too
Watch the entire video.
I think that the reason most people have right SI pain is that most people are right handed, but what do people have in their right hand? A person standing with chalk, cigarette, drink or whatever in their right hand puts more weight on their right leg and even slightly leans to the right as they stand there with whatever in their right hand. Try it, pretend you are doing any of the above and check out your stance when you do so. I have just recently been diagnosed with SI joint dysfunction and I am desperate to ease the pain which is why I came across your videos...THANK YOU for the exercising.
Does si joint dysfunction cause tailbone pain too?
My MRI report is.....
Deficient left lamina of S5 with Dural ectasia.
N also urine problem, 8-10 time urination.
Left side buttock pain,lower abdomen pain,bladder not empty,etc
Please help
I feel disbalance and sitting on one side driving my automatic car. How I can even it up? Thanks
A chiropractor can help
Really enjoyed this video! I have long term SI joint issues diagnosed and treated by an osteopath. Stabilization exercises and manual therapy have helped tremendously. My SI still gets aggravated by forward bending movements. You hit the nail on the head regarding how women shave their legs! Any suggestions for other positions for shaving legs that might not aggravate the SI. That is one issue that has completely got me stumped. (BTW - I stopped doing my own pedicures a long time ago!)
picksoverpeas how are the stabilization exercises going?
Any advise for severe snapping hip syndrome with IT band pain, SI pain and severe trochanter. Pain in trochanter because of severe trochanter bursitis my hip is size of grapefruit.
Hi, can you recommend therapists in Ireland? Thanks
Hi Chad. Great video. Is there any chance you can recommend a physio therapist in Auckland, New Zealand? I am about to ring around to see if I can find, but I was hoping on the off chance you might know someone. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thanks again
Hi im having si joint pain from past 4 5 months and i havent stoped deadlifting the exercises in other videos are helping me and i have stoped lowerbody workout from past 3 weeks i am a powerlifter i just need to know for how long should i keep away from deadlifts bcoz heavy deadlifts give me si joint pain on my right side thanx
so, I shouldn't stretch at all?
I've been diagnosed with degenerative arthritis in my SI joint. My question is will these exercises help repair the damage or delay it? Thank you!
The real culprit behind arthritis is inflammation and the root cause of inflammation is largely a diet high in carbohydrates. The first primary step to take in reducing inflammation in a big way is to go a low carbohydrate "ketogenic" diet. High carb consumption are the root cause of most autoimmune and degenerative diseases including heart disease and diabetes.
Carbs cause inflammation at the cellular level and when foods containing carbs and fats are heated, this is called "glycation" which leads to oxidation, which leads to inflammation. Also, if one is consuming high amounts of omega 6 fatty acids found in "vegetable" oils and many nuts and seeds, this is also causing a lot of inflammation.
Another big deal is vitamin K2. Without proper amounts, we cannot metabolize calcium. This is why so many have osteoarthritis, kidney stones, cataracts, calcium in the heart, and calculus (tarar) build up in the teeth. When I began to take a Full Spectrum K2, the tarter stopped and a band keratopathy in my right eye began to improve!
I had suffered with terrible arthritis and degenerative disease in my spine and hips until I went of a very low carb diet while implementing more omega 3 fatty oils found in salmon and cod liver/krill oils. Make sure you get the proper amounts of the fat soluble vitamins A, E D and K.
@@DanScottChannel thank you for this information. What is your field called? The information is mostly over my head. I can possibly copy it and research everything but I am asking if my hmo Kaiser Permanente might have someone with your knowledge?. What is your field called? Thanks
There's only help in slowing down the process & temporary relief.. No cure.
I have a particularly bad problem I have been fused from my L23 -Sl this is occurred over a 35-year period the last one was 5 months ago and now with chronic SI dysfunction hypermobility years of treatment including sclerotherapy the innervation injections my sacrum and my ilium are locking up and it's the most excruciating pain I've ever had in my life and the only thing that relieves it is the chiropractor by using a drop table to get my sacrum to move again but he even said I do need specialty Care no one really talks about fused people and what they can do but now I can honestly say this last surgery was a failure because I'm in worse pain now than I was before my surgery and I'm seeing a pain management specialist again tomorrow and I will discuss with him about a physical therapist or a physiotherapist that does this grade 5 hands on treatment but other than that it's such a mixed bag and I have tried literally everything I wear a belt all the time I have to but I have no stability now and it's just the pain is like a stabbing pain in the middle of my back or my left side. Any suggestions I live in Reno nevada?
Did you have SI joint stabilization surgery for some type of fusion with metal?
LinQ Allograft is less invasive (2 inch incision orthoscopic). It's what my spine doctor wants me to do.
Did you ever find relief?
My aha moment, was when he mentioned pregnant women, carrying a toddler on one hip. I’m part of the small percentage of people with worse SI joint pain, on my left side. Being right handed, meant I carried my toddlers on my left side. My purse is carried on my left side, for the same reason.
You say shaving for us women, but got news for you! We also all have to wash our feet, and it’s hard to do without same bending as shaving. In fact it’s worse because we have to reach all around our feet, further than bottom of calf to shave! I’ve really noticed this since my ancient 20yo SI problem reactivated badly a few months go, hasn’t really let up yet.
I am in IRELAND Im going to a chiropractor he keeps cracking my lower back and sends me off but the pain is still there its from Tennis , I asked him should I do any exercise for it and he says just play away your tennis but its very stiff the next day after tennis ...
What do U suggest for Si joint erosion? I have some erosion on my left hip.
I also had an accident on a city bus a few years ago. I was thrown hard on to the bus floor on my left hip.
So I now have serious hip pain & almost bone on bone. I may have to have hip surgery.
A few years ago I also fractured my L4 in my back.
It was after my bus accident, but when I was thrown to the floor of the bus.
What is a good idea to do for my Si joint pelvic erosion & horrific pain?
I have been told I have AS by Ruhemotolgist, but another 1 said she wasn't sure it was As. She thinks it just might b degenerative osteoarthritis.
How can I know if the bus accident started all this damage?
What can I do to stop the Si joint erosion & maybe avoid robotic left hip surgery?
My 1 rheumatologist thinks I should start Consentyx. The doctor who thinks I have AS.
I am thinking I should try Si joint injections, with an Xray guide & dye 1st then the NCF shots. I worry because I just got over Malt Lymphoma recently.
I have heard that shot can increase a risk for Lymphoma.
I wish to try it for a few months & see if the erosion stops.
I do not favor Si joint surgery. I have heard it isn't that successful.
Anyhow hope U have some ideas for me. I do live in Santa Monica, Ca. I am in my 70ty's & am overweight due to not moving much due to my pain.
I also understand with AS people have fatigue & lose weight.neither has happened to me so I am thinking my Si erosion may NOT b AS!.
Any thoughts or suggestions for doctors to address this in Santa Monica, Ca or nearby areas where I live. getting around is difficult. I have no family & little funds...
Any suggestions I can research would b appreciated. Thanks.
I have SI joint pain (which perhaps more prominent on my left side) while I simultaneously have a jumpers knee on my left side. This often causes me to shift my weight towards my right knee. How can I now cure hip imbalance that follows without irritating my knee?
Do I have to exercise the muscles on my left side? If so, by what method?
I am so glad to find these videos! I'm excited to try the exercises in the other video to help with some sort of relief! I hope my local PT can help me out as much as just your videos have. Thanks so much for posting this and the other video as well.
worlds best mic
The first exercise causes me pain on the right side. Is that normal?
If leaning over one leg when shaving is one habit that causes the problem, does that mean doing some yoga poses where you lean over one leg is bad for the SI joint as well?
i've popped my si joint out posteriorly doing 1 leg leaning over in yoga.. be careful! I wish I could see the other comments here.. looking for all the support i can get!
I have SI joint pain. It's taken me a few years to figure out. I did yoga for 10 years and was very good at it. In my recent research into SI joint pain I learned that certain yoga poses, as you suggest, should be avoided. Wish I knew that earlier... I always thought stretching was what was needed but it's stabilizing!
I wish the sound quality wasn't so bad
I have a buldging disc in my l5-s1 with a little pertrusion on my left side... I've done 3 ESIs, months of PT, 3 trigger point injections, 3 prolotherapy injections, 3 platelet rich plasma injections, deep tissue massages, and chiropratic and PT together. I've seen 4 back specialists, 2 chiro, and 2 PTs. No one can fix me. It hurts when I breathe, When I swallow, pretty much everything hurts my lower right back side in my hip... Chiros have seen my right hip is displaced and my right leg is longer... Is this a possibility?
would the 70% of the right side be related to driving?
Thecheckmate777 I don’t think so, I don’t drive. I’m guessing it has to do with most people being right handed.
@@tanjalunden3070 I'm left-handed. My pain is on the right side. Maybe it's because I keep my wallet in my right rear pocket, but I have no idea how true this is for most people. Mystery
Redwhite&blue Aaah... the wallet in the back pocket is a classic ”cause” (or trigger) for sciatic pain, and similar. Put it somewhere else :)
I've now been to 2 physios, both said they were familiar with grade 5 lumbo pelvic manipulation, but in reality they weren't. One simply pulled my leg (figuratively and actually), the other refused to do one (after saying she could). Of course both charge more for their initial assessment (dr, sport dr, chiro, etc all said it's my si joint.... I don't need another assessment). Do I need to make a road trip? This is getting old.
What is that noise on background?
Can you recommend a good chiropractor in the palm beach area or close...everything you said is about me, especially the part about sitting on my wallet (I’m a truck driver). Or I will come by your office if needs be. I’m suffering daily for almost a year. Please help.
This was so helpful. This is what is wrong with me.
