THANK YOU!! I could not figure out why i had discomfort in my right groin, my right glute, & my right low back. Everyday i do yoga ; and almost every workout has a lunge , or figure 4 or a pidgeon pose. I has no idea that i was slowly throwing my SI joint out of whack. It makes total sense!
I have been in crippling back pain for the last 5 months. Have been going to doctor, physical therapy, and chiropractor. Was told i have two bulged discs with sciatica, and arthritis in si joint. Dont know who to trust anymore, meds and physical therapy dont seem to help, and doctors and chiro dont seem to truly care. Been dealing with this off and on for close to a decade, this time is the worst possibly. This video is helpful because as explained how doing things one sided, or asymmetrically, can worsen symptoms. I did a few of the stretches and exercises you mentioned not to do last weekend, and it made the pain 100x worse the day after and its still horrible. I will be more mindful of the si joint and stability. Thanks for the knowledge and advice! And good luck to everyone else experiencing pain, the key is to figure out what helps, and what makes it worse!

My program has helped thousands of people get out of back pain for good! I have a very high number of students in my program to address Si Joint, sciatica, and so much more. If you are ever interested, feel free to check out my Free Masterclass here: www.corebalancetraining.com/masterclass as well as emailing my team for any questions you may have at program@corebalancetraining.com. The solution is out there, and you are not alone! There is absolutely hope for you.
I'm a neuropsychologist and athlete (cyclist plus weights) that have been doing everything that you explained not to do…and mostly those stretches have been recommended by my back doctors. What you explained makes so much sense from a bio-mechanical point that I am going into your program right now! I was in near-perfect shape almost two years ago when I injured my Iliolumbar ligament during a bad very heavy 435-plus pounds deadlift (my fault not the deal lift fault). I have been in crónico pain since 😢. I have read and tried everything and nothing seems to work. For years I talked about the neuropsychology of chronic pain, but being a patient now I can see how it can really mess with our mental health. Thanks for your videos!
Hi Angel, thank you for sharing your experience! We're glad to have you join our program. We absolutely understand that chronic pain can be mentally challenging, and we're here to support you on your journey to relief and recovery. You're not alone! 😊
Basically every "don't" that you described here contributed to really painful SI joint pain for me in the past. Thank goodness you're on this Earth 🌍 to teach me how to move healthy! Thank you Ryan for helping me and sooooo many others ❤️
There is so much confusion within the Physical Therapy world. My PT prescribed the exact exercise/stretch to supposedly help the one-sided low back SI hip pain!🤨
Thanks dr Ryan, I did CBT, I honestly loved it, I know you are genuine in everything you do, if I could afford it I would do it for a whole year but I have struggled to balance it all, still active in military, constantly busy, and every time my si joint flairs back up I am back to you because it describes so many of my issues, stress seems to be one of the biggest issues, seems to tighten my psoas/hip flexors etc., then add a few of those asymmetrical things and in a few weeks I’m back to si joints in terrible pain. If I ever get back to myself, I’m gonna send you a gift, PT’s Chiro’s done it all and no one has given me hope like you.
If you are wondering it is true - this guy is for real! I've been struggling with low back pain for over a year. His training has given me hope and relief just after 2 weeks. I look forward to continuing so that my back pain is a thing of the past! I am so grateful for the help and a change it has brought to my life.
I have had a discectomy and recently suffered debilitating back pain, only to find out that I have a reherniation in the same location. I didn’t want to jump into another surgery. I found your core balance training program and I’ve been doing it faithfully. I’ve become aware throughout the day that I am not engaging my core as I should. I have done a lot of physical therapy annd I am finally understanding my body. I also suffer SI joint pain and I feel like a lot of the exercises in the past that I have done exacerbated the problem. Thank you for your dedication!
Every "don't" that you have listed are movements that i have been told to do in yoga, PT, and for basically my whole experience with low back pain. Thus, you could imagine that I was a little bit angry and still in disbelief that maybe, just maybe, you could be right. But hey, I am going to try some of your suggestions and see if they work for me. Since I have lumbar stenosis, i've not really (and neither have my PT's) thought of addressing the SI directly until my acupuncturist did cupping therapy directly over the joint and relieved tension immediately. Thanks for the info mate!
Hi there, Thank you for your comment. I completely understand your frustration. I appreciate you giving my tips a try, and I truly hope you feel relief and enjoy my suggestions. If you want to dive in deeper, here is the link to my Free Masterclass : www.corebalancetraining.com/masterclass Thank you so much for watching! Best of luck to you.
Hey, did it work? I was also asked to do the figure four stretch and other things ... But didn't feel much pain while doing em but was in seriously bad pain as the day progressed. Did bridges help you buddy?
I'm finding your videos very helpful. I'm an LMT and retired high jumper. I used to train 3 to 4 hours a day. I was so strong that spinal and SI joint dysfunction wasn't even on my radar. My strength also offset my flexibility. Life after high jump lead me down the path to power yoga and low impact exercise to manage all the aches and pain that flooded my body. Fast forward 20 years, now I have joint instability in my SI joint and lumbar spine. I've recognized that that I've much less strength and my glutes don't fire properly and that my illiacus is super tight. I've been embracing ways to battle the gluteal amnesia, release the illiopsoas and build strength beyond that to reintroduce those "other" exercises.
I was a hardcore athlete as well over the years. I was so convinced that I was keeping myself strong and protecting myself by being so active. Now having to accept that I've caused all these painful issues is a tough pill to swallow. Learning to relax helps. Be kind to yourself.
May I ask, how do you release did you release your iliopsoas? I know and have read many ways but so far because I have got lots of muscular issues. I haven’t been able to do that very well. Also releasing the ilium will help. I also have ql issues big time. It’s been quite the learning experience.
This guy is honestly much smarter compared all the gurus i've seen on youtube. These are exactly the exercises I have learn't to avoid over years regardless of what physios were telling me. The glute bridge exercises unfortunately aggrvated my pain so I have to avoid them. I have personally learnt to avoid things that cause me pain and this in turns has worked in my favour to keep me out of trauma in comaprison to exercising and streching
As a PTA who has struggle for years with SIJ pain doing all the things such as this, I'm so grateful for your succinct information! Keep it up please 🙏 You know as I do the "pain management" aspects of Healthcare never try to get to the root cause of these issues for people and treat only the sx. Ty!!
These videos are incredibly helpful! Thank you. I complained to my doctor about hip pain (because I thought I felt it in my ileac crest). She had an x-ray done, diagnosed me with anterior spondy and disc degeneration, and sent me to a PT who had me doing strengthening exercises but also stretches. After the first session I told the PT I could tell that the stretches made the pain worse. She told me just to warm up first...so I quit going. This, this is exactly what I need. Thank you!
This video is very helpful. It's not only a good reminder of how to keep the pelvis balanced when we sit, stand and move, it also help me diagnose where my pain is coming from. In addition, it showed me what exercises I am doing that aggravate the problem.
Your explanation of this makes so much more sense on so many levels. I have been continuously hurting myself with the standard advice, which was literally everything I was doing, the 5 things I shouldn't. I have healed from several intense injuries over my life. I have had to seek my own treatments and diagnosis after trusting my instincts that the doctors were wrong. I healed from them all and became stronger then ever, by seeking the truth and not just listening to the highest doctorate. Your advice is the first that feels natural and has been working. Thank you so much for seeking the truth Ryan!!!!! I feel most of the mainstream advice is orientated to make you a mainstream customer.
Ive been going to the chiropractor regularly for the past 10 years.. in 2019 i started getting a lot of hip clicking that wasn't painful yet.. my chiropractor didn't know what i was trying to describe to him.. last year i woke up with a severe pain all the way down my right leg toes.. an MRI and a bunch of x-rays later I still haven't gotten any official doctor diagnosis.. You're describing what I'm feeling the best.. as I do daily yoga and stretches for the past year and not much have helped for this specific clicking and It almost feels like unstable hip.. thank you so much for sharing your knowledge ❤ now i have some hope
Same pain am going through stretching makes it worse so I stopped doing any stretching and giving proper rest to my body and observed I have very less pain and it's healing day by day
Very helpful. My doc and PT don't explain all these issues. They just give me exercises for my hip arthritis, but one of them is the bridge so I want to learn more about doing it correctly.
M supposed to begin PT today for my SI joint pain. I just saw a spine specialist. Had xrays and a MRI that showed nothing relating to my pain. I pointed directly to my left SI joint and told this MD that it hurts. "Right There" He just agreed it was called the SI Joints. I have already been doing the bridge with a band for several wks already. The type of work I do requires alot of bending. I realize I deep squat to try to avoid bending. This is probably contributing to my pain alot. Your videos have been the most helpful yet. I've had this problem for YEARS. And have searched for answers high and low. I've passed a vid to friends to point them in your direction.
I found out SI Joint doesn’t show up on X-ray’s or MRI. I just happened to watch a video on I think it was called Bob and Brad but don’t quote me on that. I know where I was hurting for a lot of years and happened upon this video and knew what was wrong with me.
Since my left psoas always causes problems and my left sciatica, I have been doing all the exercises that you declare to be wrong here for weeks. And I can confirm it. Because now I've also had severe pain in my sacroiliac joint and inflammation for some time. Thank you for this video!
Hi Mike, glad to hear the video has been helpful! That's good body awareness. It's an important skill to know how to listen to your body and understand what is working and what is causing more discomfort. Thank you for watching!
Thankyou Very helpful..I'm just starting to realise why my SI joint pain keeps flaring up. I'm doing things to annoy it Always the clicking and popping which all the therapists kept saying " oh its nothing so long as it doesn't hurt " I'm realising after 5 years there are a lot of professionals who should learn a bit more ! Thankyou great info
I absolutely loved this. My physio said the other day it was my back, but like your video said I know where to pinpoint the si in my hip. I go to the gym and do AB's, Butts & Thighs 2 days a week , I also find it difficult to tighten my "core" because of two big scars I have. My physio gave me a massage it all the next day
This guy knows his stuff. Many of the exercises people recommend for back pain make things worse way worse . Listening to experts and Doctors created problems for me. Muscle relaxers and massage would leave me crippled. The thing that made a difference for me was the quote “it’s not stiff, it’s weak” Finally after years of chronic pain things are getting better. - don’t stretch a muscle unless you work it first. -as you fix one sore area another will appear. Seems to be caused from years of imbalance in my case. When I feel a soft tissue pain I look for the muscle , sometimes it’s not the muscle that is sore but the fascia , in that case I just work on every muscle attached to that fascia. I learned a lot about internal hip rotation and hip adductor tears - good times. Anyway my advice is work your glutes, the psoas and hip adductors. When your knees begin to hurt ( the imbalances) you’ll want to work your calves , with both straight and bent knees. Also I learned even though I was putting my hands flat on the floor I was not stretching my hamstrings. It seems I have to bend at the waist, push my hands in front of me whilst sucking in my gut , lifting my pelvic floor. The guy said I was only stretching the tendon . Anyway that made a HUGE difference. Years of squats and not being able to get a deep stretch until I learned that a few months ago. Whew ! Oh , and the pelvic thrusts, I don’t recommend them in public but I do recommend them.
Hi there, Sean! Thank you so much for watching this video and for your feedback. I hope you are feeling relief! Great comment, and thank you for letting us know what is working best for you.
I so agree with you. I have been working with PT and it doesn’t help, in fact, it has made it hurt more. I go no where and my life is so limited. I pray this helps. How are you finding the muscle? How did you find someone to help you?
There is a great vibration plate video, 12 years old, that also recommends the ski position, tucking under the pelvis, pulling up belly button towards the spine, clenching butt muscles. Do all that on a vibration plate. I also make lateral movements, leg shifts. I made clear progress in a just a week. It’s not over yet, but it helped a lot. The big advantage of that is that the patient’s weight or other issues are not of concern with that exercice, vibration, which is rare. I find exercices often do not take into account that one person may weigh double compared to another, which multiplies effort in the presence of sarcopenia. I am happy that your condition is improving and thank you for having taken the time to share the exercice that worked for you ! It gives me hope. I’ve lost 56 kg in the past but long term excessive work (PC) 18/7 made me put on 35 kg which I am now fasting off, keto, replacing fat with muscle. Love my vibration plate…. and I wish you continued success !
I am a 100% disabled veteran. I had to have 3 bones removed from my left foot, and my tibial tendon shortened. This caused my gait to change, and since that operation (about 3 years ago), my right SI joint is very painful. I am following along with your videos to try and fix this issue. I've been to doctors, chiropractors, nurse practitioners. I tried acupuncture and physical therapy. So far, nothing has worked, and it has just gotten worse. I ordered a Trochanteric belt and am going to try using it while I walk and sleep.
3 mins in and i have a huge correction. Been dealing with AS and SIJ pain for 20+ years. In my case, i also have a suuuuper tight and weak posterior chain. The “butterfly” stretch on the things to stop doing has brought about the most pain relief lately that ive had in years… again could just be me. Was surprised to find something sooo helpful at the top of the harmful list
Thank you so much, my eyes were tearing as you described exactly what I was going through for a year and half and I couldn’t figure out that whole time what was happening in my right lower back and the glutes. My dr did mentioned about the SI joint pain buti didn’t pay much attention then. Thank you so much❤❤❤ I will follow your advice, stop doing all those yoga poses and strengthen my glutes and core
Thank you so much. I have been in so much pain for so long and searching TH-cam videos for an answer. I wasn't even sure which joint was causing this pain, let alone why. Twenty years ago, I had intense sciatica and had surgery on L4 and L5, so I knew this wasn't sciatica. I don't feel that popping was the right way to go, so held up and kept searching. I have severe rheumatoid arthritis so I have a lot of joint issues since I was dx'd before biologics. I can't do most of what you describe here but can certainly not do all those things that cause problems and pain. I can also start getting my whole body in better alignment. I just subscribed and just wanted to say thanks!
I’ve been battling SI joint pain for over 15 years. Watching this video showed that one of the exercises suggested to me was one of the 5 you said not to do. There are so many Drs who have no idea what to do. I am SO glad I found this video!!!
Thanks doc...spot on...I have suffered this for almost 5 yrs doctors could not diagnose...but your videos jave helped me self diagnose just 2 days watching your videos...God bless
You would have been better off seeing a physiotherapist. The more specific about preceding or any causative activities a sufferer can be, and possibly identifying the names of painful muscles (anatomy illustrations), the more precise and faster they can help.
I’ve had a spinal fusion and now SI joint issue so I learned any type of lunge movement, even stagnant causes trouble. I don’t teach yoga anymore because of it. I get a lot of popping, esp on my right. I get back, pelvic and glute pain. The other day I sat crossed legged on my mat and I’m stiff so I don’t do it often. But it really helped my pain. I can’t do any of those pigeon poses either. No deep squats either. My SI issue appeared after l4-5 fusion but only after a ridiculous twisting chiropractic adjustment. I do some isometric pushing out exercises to strengthen my SI. Laying down with one knee bent and pushing that knee into my hand. It helps too. Surprised how much. I used to teach yoga and Pilates and train so I know the anatomy. This is so correct!
Hi David, Thank you so much for your comment. My program teaches you the most effective way to do the bridge as well as plenty of other moves that we perform over a 3 month course in healing back pain for good. Check out the 7 Day Free Trial here: www.corebalancetraining.com/offers/2fR8V4Ev/checkout
I'm so sorry to hear that, Jacqueline. Glad to hear the video was helpful in helping you understand why you might experience a pop with asymmetrical exercises. 😊
I’ve been so confused over the years and doing all the things you say not to do and inching my way toward realizing asymmetrical posture and movement was a problem. Your pointing out the anatomy so clearly and showing the exercises that are wrong so clearly is very helpful!
Great video. I developed SI joints pain after lumbar surgery. Then I was sent to a pain clinic for SI joints pain. The injections were every 60 days until insurance companies decided that 60 days is better. The injections last about 20 days and then the pain is back. I am certainly going to start doing the bridge.
For 7 years i have been told by doctors/ pysical therapists/ chiropractors that my problems are back& hip pretty much gave up untill recently doing youtube research & tried si vids& immediately it popped& gave instant relief unfortunately it wont stay fixed will keep working with these videos thanks
Sir you are my hero. I was born with lower lumbar scoliosis, not severe but one leg is about 1 1/2 inches shorter than the other. I've been in pain at least most of my adult life and I'm 65. I've been in and out of PT for years. This last stint in PT has been 3 months. I have days still when I can't get out of bed. Along the way I've developed spinal stenosis and some arthritis in my spine. I know the the exercises I've been doing are making this. I'm not going back anymore. I will follow your advice. I'm also going to get a shoe lift and a brace to wear when I do activities that are especially stressful on that si joint. Thank you. Thank you.👍👍
Hi, Doreen! Thank you so much for watching this video. I really hope that you are feeling some relief. Here is a video that I created talking about SI Joint Pain Things TO DO: th-cam.com/users/live0G2D0ZW1OUc?feature=share I hope you find it encouraging and thank you so much for your comment!
I love this info. I’ve had extreme SI joint pain for 11 months now. Steroid injections every 3 months so far and prescription NSAID. I think I’ve been stretching too much and walking. No more walking in the neighborhood. I’m down to a wheelchair for any length of steps like going shopping. Walking is the worst!
Thank you so much your videos have helped me start on my journey to getting over my SI joint pain. I really appreciate the time you take to explain the reasoning behind the pain and show videos of the specific types of exercise to avoid. I had lost hope after trying everything for 3 months but now I am finally seeing improvement in my chronic pain
Thanks for this video! I've seen so many videos that tell the viewers to do a lot of the exercises shown here...No wonder my SI pain isn't getting much better....
It's just that Americans buy into things like "yoga" and then we injured ourselves you know. Like I was doing deep squats thinking it was helping me but I injured my SI joint really bad. Believing I'm on the mend, learning a lot. Just keep learning and teaching others the good exercises we need. I wonder if folks from India or yoga countries have healthy older people, check that out. Or are they crippled? We don't want to be like that.
Your teaching has validated my attempts over the past few months. Your explanations are very clear, providing a theoretical foundation for my assumptions. Thank you!
Having just spent the last 3 days unable to get out of bed and in so much pain again from this joint popping and feeling out of place this information is so helpful. All I did was sneeze! I think I damaged my right joint during labour with my second child as it's been bad since then. Bridges are on the plan from now on!
I'm a massage therapist, and this issue is a daily see, either motor vehicle accident, athlete, hip replacement, or daily life... Thanks so much for the corrections. I will be watching and looking into your teachings...
Thank you so much for sharing this video. I was wondering what I should avoid as I was in deep pain and have started doing your 3step stretches which really gave me some pain relief and I continue them. Started watching your video from past two days and this popped when I’m wondering about which exercises to avoid. Thank you so much :)
Yours is one of the best videos I have seen as I search for home therapy to relieve SI pain in my SI joint, hamstrings and knees. You teach what NOT to do (habits I have had for a long time) that I will practice every day until it becomes natural. I learned the best positions to strengthen my SI joint and core while not doing positions and stretches that will do harm. I will follow you. Thanks!
Wow some of these exercises I was given by a physiotherapist, no wonder it hasn't been helping! The pain has been unbearable for Two years now, it happened just by standing up off a sofa. The consultants I've seen have said that as it now crunches if I lay down on my left side, the back on my hip has started crunching that it's normal. Really don't know what to believe any more after this video
Thank you so much for this information. I have been dealing with sacroiliac pain for over 8 months. Your explanations make sense. I've been doing some wrong stretches for a long time. I will work on changing my stretching exercises.
I find all of the things you said not to do, to actually be very helpful if done in moderation and in concert with bilateral work, with an eye on restoring balance by breaking asymmetric dysfunction and staying active and focused in the stretch. My glutes used to be really tight, and I had considerable sciatica. If i try to stretch both sides or do any work when I'm out of balace, it just reinforces the pattern and pushes my si further into its current painful configuration.
OH MY GOODNESS! Thank you thank you SO much for this. I've been in pain for two weeks now (including feeling as though hot water is being poured all along my inner and outer leg, if i sleep on the opposite side), having felt a ping or pop somewhere low in my back, simply straightening up from picking up a tiny stone from my floor. Gradually, I've begun to suspect it's my SI but I wasn't sure. Until now! For YEARS I've had popping when I do the reclined bicycle exercise, on one side as I lower my leg, and I had no idea why. Now I know, and it makes perfect sense. Thank you again; I can begin my journey to recovery, knowing at least from where it starts!
I drive all day and have developed flexing exercises for in my vehicle while remaining symmetrical and have vastly improved my si. Lits of glute flexes and pressing my legs outward against the car door and center dash area symmetrically feeling muscles activate and strengthen that i haven't felt in years. P.s. my si started after a fall as a security guard job where i walked all day...i took the driver job to telax and reset my muscle groups just figuring it would help ans then to rebuild them symmetrically and started experimenting with flexes in the car and developed multiple flexes that have given me steong glutes and thigh hip lower back muscles again. This video confirmed i was doing similar things with symmetry and giving the si a break lol. You taught me much more though so thank you!
I'm definitely subscribing and considering your master class. I've had low back and SI Joint pain for 35 years. I know my posture is horrible, my core is weak and my hips tilt so forward i can't sleep on my back. I sit with my legs crossed or on the ground criss cross all the time! I have been my own worst enemy and all my doctors and physical therapist focus on none of these things. Very disappointing. I've been seeking help for so so long and none of it has worked. Definitely going to try these things out.
This is an amazingly helpful video. I am in severe one-sided SI joint plain right now. Exactly due to overdoing all the wrong things pointed out in this video. I had no idea. Thank you for the valuable lesson.
It was such a helpful and informative video. There’s a lot of different stretches recommended for people with back pain, and this video helped me understand that for my specific back pain, SI joint pain, I need to stop doing a lot of the stretches I had been doing thinking it would help me.
This is the best video on this topic - i did almost everything of the "don'ts" assuming it will reduce the lower back pain...the more pain the more i have been stretching. Thanks for the great advices!
thank you for the video! i recently went to a chiropractor to get relief and find out what causes my lower back pain and disables me from moving. I found out this joint is involved and then came across your video. This information is really helpful. I hope I won't have to keep relying on pricey adjustments after trying these stabilizing exercises. 😊
Been waiting for a diagnosis and PT referral for far too long- and doing all the wrong stretches in the meantime. I feel like this is the answer, starting today!
I just viewed your video and you told me not to do everything Ihave been doing according to so many other PT's on TH-cam. Your recommendations seem to make a lot more sense. I do suffer from si joint pain lately because of being overweight, 70 years ago and also bouncing on a tractor. I also have pelvic pain for 51/2 years. I do many of the stretches and strength exercises you say not to do to relieve my pelvic pain. I have a Lousy core. Thank you.
Very informative and I have such greater insight into my on again and off again jolting popping inside my pelvis and back when I walk and after STRETCHING!
This video was great. I’m currently in therapy for SI pain. I’ve been doing yoga for years and started having lower back pain about 5 months ago. Now I’m working on strengthening my glutes. I will be watching your channel for more exercises to balance out my body. Thank you for this really helpful information😊
Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your experience with us! We're so happy to hear that you found the video helpful for your SI joint pain. It's fantastic that you're already taking steps to address it. Wishing you all the best on your path to healing! 😊
This was sooo helpful! I’ve lately been in so much pain and now I know it’s SI related. No one else has mentioned SI. Please continue to make these videos. Also, can you do a video on the best position to sleep in? We sleep for hours and I know that’s one of the things I’ve done wrong to cause this pain. Thank you!
I have been watching video after video regarding the pain I was having. I can stop looking now as you explained exactly where and what I was feeling in my lower back. I also realize that I was doing the wrong stretching routine. Thank you.
I found you on Facebook and watched this video and turns out I was doing all the wrong stretches! I'm excited to find your channel and try some new advice for my SI joint pain.
Very helpful! The symptoms you describe are exactly like the ones I have experienced over the years, becoming intense recently. I have had various treatments but nothing has worked and I suspect no one has come up with a diagnosis. I will take these recommendations and hopefully find relief. Thank you!
This video was extremely helpful in showing me what NOT to do…I was literally screaming in pain when getting up…thank you, the pain already stopped just NOT doing tjose certain things.
This had been So helpful thank you. I've had a flare up in my si joint and I dm doing asymmetrical things all the time ! Gonna try this out and see if it helps. Thank you for the video
Excellent info! I've has SI joint pain for 25 years and have worked with many specialists but few have ever mentioned what Not to do. I love yoga and didn't realize many positions were making things worse. Thank you!
Very helpful. I have been in pain for the last 2 weeks and wasn’t sure what stretching to do. Some of those I was doing was bad for me. Thank you so much. ❤
Im suffering from a chronic back pain since 15 y.o when I decided to squat for the first time and it was the last time as well. I paid thousands of dollars to fix my back pain during this whole 5 years but nothing was done correctly, I can say that the back pain decreased by 30%, but it still exist 24/7,I’m not able to do many sports that I love to do, I’m always careful with it… I have an SI Joint inflammation, Flat lumbar back, Herniated disk, I need something to deal with it, because it causes me seasonal depression when I see myself still young and my health is already gone
Al Farouk are you aware that we have a program? It is very effective for people in your situation, and you can try it for free. I recommend watching this first www.corebalancetraining.com/masterclass
Thank you! I learned I have been doing yoga poses that were making my pain worse. Now I know. I have hypermobility all over my body, and my si joint are chronically loose. Painful pops all the time. I have been taking Diclofenac for a year. It helps but is ruining digestion.
Glad to hear that you found the video helpful! If you're looking for an alternative approach to addressing any concerns related to your SI joint and lower back, please let us know. We'd love to help!
Thaaaank you! I‘ve been adviced to do yoga, but I noticed that it was not helping me at all, now it makes sense, I was doing many exercises that you mentioned it shouldn’t been done
Ryan you are my go to guy for relearning how to get my body back into balance and alleviate a whole lot of stress and pain. I am a competitive waterskier and pushing 65,now that I’ve joined your program l have a tremendous sense of hope and realization that l can repair past stresses on my body and continue my passion for many years ahead, so thank from my heart & soul for your passion of helping others become well and still enjoy a quality of life God bless!!😊
Thank you so much for this video, the problematic with the joints is so well explained, I did not hear this before. Since my accident, nobody told me where is the origin of my pain and low mobility, bad posture. Now since a few weeks, I do myself some exercises. I did not get any explanation from the physiotherapist before but the pain is exactly there in the joints, which are now after a few years very stiff and painful, leading to an overall bad body posture😅. I still hope to improve.
Please let me know if you found this video helpful, so we know if I should keep producing more!
Where in california are you located? Or are classes only online?
Yes!
Yes about si joint
Yes, very helpful, please make more like this. Thank you!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
THANK YOU!! I could not figure out why i had discomfort in my right groin, my right glute, & my right low back. Everyday i do yoga ; and almost every workout has a lunge , or figure 4 or a pidgeon pose. I has no idea that i was slowly throwing my SI joint out of whack. It makes total sense!
Thank you so much for sharing! It's great to hear that the video helped you connect the dots about your discomfort. We're glad to have been of help! 😊
Me too…. Oh my gosh it has hurt for years, where my life is so small right now, I am hoping this will help.
Same here! 3 Dr and 2 PT professionals and they want to do fusion surgery. There has to be another option
I have been in crippling back pain for the last 5 months. Have been going to doctor, physical therapy, and chiropractor. Was told i have two bulged discs with sciatica, and arthritis in si joint. Dont know who to trust anymore, meds and physical therapy dont seem to help, and doctors and chiro dont seem to truly care. Been dealing with this off and on for close to a decade, this time is the worst possibly. This video is helpful because as explained how doing things one sided, or asymmetrically, can worsen symptoms. I did a few of the stretches and exercises you mentioned not to do last weekend, and it made the pain 100x worse the day after and its still horrible. I will be more mindful of the si joint and stability. Thanks for the knowledge and advice! And good luck to everyone else experiencing pain, the key is to figure out what helps, and what makes it worse!

Would treatment/ exercises be different for arthritis in SI joint?
I'm a neuropsychologist and athlete (cyclist plus weights) that have been doing everything that you explained not to do…and mostly those stretches have been recommended by my back doctors. What you explained makes so much sense from a bio-mechanical point that I am going into your program right now! I was in near-perfect shape almost two years ago when I injured my Iliolumbar ligament during a bad very heavy 435-plus pounds deadlift (my fault not the deal lift fault). I have been in crónico pain since 😢. I have read and tried everything and nothing seems to work. For years I talked about the neuropsychology of chronic pain, but being a patient now I can see how it can really mess with our mental health. Thanks for your videos!
Hi Angel, thank you for sharing your experience! We're glad to have you join our program. We absolutely understand that chronic pain can be mentally challenging, and we're here to support you on your journey to relief and recovery. You're not alone! 😊
Basically every "don't" that you described here contributed to really painful SI joint pain for me in the past. Thank goodness you're on this Earth 🌍 to teach me how to move healthy! Thank you Ryan for helping me and sooooo many others ❤️
Glad to find this. Thank you so much. My issues exactly. What I was doing was making it worse. I'll try this , new to me, routine.
Same here🤣. When I watched this video, I couldn't believe how wrong I'd been getting it.
Ditto! I've been doing a lot of figure 4 stretches and dead bugs.
There is so much confusion within the Physical Therapy world. My PT prescribed the exact exercise/stretch to supposedly help the one-sided low back SI hip pain!🤨
This is good! You explain clearly what many don’t on what Not to do & what to do. I like that!! Thank you!!
Thanks dr Ryan, I did CBT, I honestly loved it, I know you are genuine in everything you do, if I could afford it I would do it for a whole year but I have struggled to balance it all, still active in military, constantly busy, and every time my si joint flairs back up I am back to you because it describes so many of my issues, stress seems to be one of the biggest issues, seems to tighten my psoas/hip flexors etc., then add a few of those asymmetrical things and in a few weeks I’m back to si joints in terrible pain. If I ever get back to myself, I’m gonna send you a gift, PT’s Chiro’s done it all and no one has given me hope like you.
Report all your issues with your primary - document document document.
If you are wondering it is true - this guy is for real! I've been struggling with low back pain for over a year. His training has given me hope and relief just after 2 weeks. I look forward to continuing so that my back pain is a thing of the past! I am so grateful for the help and a change it has brought to my life.
Thank you so much Angela... That means a lot. I am grateful to have you in the program, and proud of you for the progress that you've made! 🙏
I have had a discectomy and recently suffered debilitating back pain, only to find out that I have a reherniation in the same location. I didn’t want to jump into another surgery. I found your core balance training program and I’ve been doing it faithfully. I’ve become aware throughout the day that I am not engaging my core as I should. I have done a lot of physical therapy annd I am finally understanding my body. I also suffer SI joint pain and I feel like a lot of the exercises in the past that I have done exacerbated the problem. Thank you for your dedication!
Every "don't" that you have listed are movements that i have been told to do in yoga, PT, and for basically my whole experience with low back pain. Thus, you could imagine that I was a little bit angry and still in disbelief that maybe, just maybe, you could be right. But hey, I am going to try some of your suggestions and see if they work for me. Since I have lumbar stenosis, i've not really (and neither have my PT's) thought of addressing the SI directly until my acupuncturist did cupping therapy directly over the joint and relieved tension immediately. Thanks for the info mate!
Hi there,
Thank you for your comment. I completely understand your frustration. I appreciate you giving my tips a try, and I truly hope you feel relief and enjoy my suggestions. If you want to dive in deeper, here is the link to my Free Masterclass : www.corebalancetraining.com/masterclass
Thank you so much for watching! Best of luck to you.
This quite funny 😊
You will surely get better
Hey, did it work? I was also asked to do the figure four stretch and other things ... But didn't feel much pain while doing em but was in seriously bad pain as the day progressed. Did bridges help you buddy?
I'm finding your videos very helpful.
I'm an LMT and retired high jumper. I used to train 3 to 4 hours a day. I was so strong that spinal and SI joint dysfunction wasn't even on my radar. My strength also offset my flexibility. Life after high jump lead me down the path to power yoga and low impact exercise to manage all the aches and pain that flooded my body. Fast forward 20 years, now I have joint instability in my SI joint and lumbar spine. I've recognized that that I've much less strength and my glutes don't fire properly and that my illiacus is super tight. I've been embracing ways to battle the gluteal amnesia, release the illiopsoas and build strength beyond that to reintroduce those "other" exercises.
Do you contribute yoga and low inpact excercise to your instability?
I was a hardcore athlete as well over the years. I was so convinced that I was keeping myself strong and protecting myself by being so active. Now having to accept that I've caused all these painful issues is a tough pill to swallow. Learning to relax helps. Be kind to yourself.
May I ask, how do you release did you release your iliopsoas? I know and have read many ways but so far because I have got lots of muscular issues. I haven’t been able to do that very well. Also releasing the ilium will help. I also have ql issues big time. It’s been quite the learning experience.
This guy is honestly much smarter compared all the gurus i've seen on youtube. These are exactly the exercises I have learn't to avoid over years regardless of what physios were telling me. The glute bridge exercises unfortunately aggrvated my pain so I have to avoid them.
I have personally learnt to avoid things that cause me pain and this in turns has worked in my favour to keep me out of trauma in comaprison to exercising and streching
As a PTA who has struggle for years with SIJ pain doing all the things such as this, I'm so grateful for your succinct information! Keep it up please 🙏 You know as I do the "pain management" aspects of Healthcare never try to get to the root cause of these issues for people and treat only the sx. Ty!!
Hi there,
Thank you so much for your feedback. It is an honor to be able to help people and provide content. Thank you for your very kind comment!
These videos are incredibly helpful! Thank you. I complained to my doctor about hip pain (because I thought I felt it in my ileac crest). She had an x-ray done, diagnosed me with anterior spondy and disc degeneration, and sent me to a PT who had me doing strengthening exercises but also stretches. After the first session I told the PT I could tell that the stretches made the pain worse. She told me just to warm up first...so I quit going. This, this is exactly what I need. Thank you!
This video is very helpful. It's not only a good reminder of how to keep the pelvis balanced when we sit, stand and move, it also help me diagnose where my pain is coming from. In addition, it showed me what exercises I am doing that aggravate the problem.
I'm so glad to hear that! Glad it's been so helpful for you and thank you for sharing! 😊
Your explanation of this makes so much more sense on so many levels. I have been continuously hurting myself with the standard advice, which was literally everything I was doing, the 5 things I shouldn't.
I have healed from several intense injuries over my life. I have had to seek my own treatments and diagnosis after trusting my instincts that the doctors were wrong. I healed from them all and became stronger then ever, by seeking the truth and not just listening to the highest doctorate. Your advice is the first that feels natural and has been working. Thank you so much for seeking the truth Ryan!!!!!
I feel most of the mainstream advice is orientated to make you a mainstream customer.
Ive been going to the chiropractor regularly for the past 10 years.. in 2019 i started getting a lot of hip clicking that wasn't painful yet.. my chiropractor didn't know what i was trying to describe to him.. last year i woke up with a severe pain all the way down my right leg toes.. an MRI and a bunch of x-rays later I still haven't gotten any official doctor diagnosis.. You're describing what I'm feeling the best.. as I do daily yoga and stretches for the past year and not much have helped for this specific clicking and It almost feels like unstable hip.. thank you so much for sharing your knowledge ❤ now i have some hope
Omg, I have suffer SI joint pain 30 years. I will start to do this right away. I really hope I will get rid of the pain. 🙏
How’d it go?
Any luck?
Had it 20 years,no doc or therapeut is doing that.
Happy to do this exercises and have fun on life
Same pain am going through stretching makes it worse so I stopped doing any stretching and giving proper rest to my body and observed I have very less pain and it's healing day by day
Very helpful. My doc and PT don't explain all these issues. They just give me exercises for my hip arthritis, but one of them is the bridge so I want to learn more about doing it correctly.
Loved it. Ive been doing those excercises you said not to and have suffered.
M supposed to begin PT today for my SI joint pain. I just saw a spine specialist. Had xrays and a MRI that showed nothing relating to my pain. I pointed directly to my left SI joint and told this MD that it hurts. "Right There" He just agreed it was called the SI Joints. I have already been doing the bridge with a band for several wks already. The type of work I do requires alot of bending. I realize I deep squat to try to avoid bending. This is probably contributing to my pain alot. Your videos have been the most helpful yet. I've had this problem for YEARS. And have searched for answers high and low. I've passed a vid to friends to point them in your direction.
I found out SI Joint doesn’t show up on X-ray’s or MRI. I just happened to watch a video on I think it was called Bob and Brad but don’t quote me on that. I know where I was hurting for a lot of years and happened upon this video and knew what was wrong with me.
Since my left psoas always causes problems and my left sciatica, I have been doing all the exercises that you declare to be wrong here for weeks. And I can confirm it. Because now I've also had severe pain in my sacroiliac joint and inflammation for some time. Thank you for this video!
Hi Mike, glad to hear the video has been helpful! That's good body awareness. It's an important skill to know how to listen to your body and understand what is working and what is causing more discomfort. Thank you for watching!
Wow so basically stop doing everything i thought was good for me 😭 wtf 😂lol i feel like I'm learning in circles in life. At least I'm good at bridges.
Wow, great info, I was told by Physical therapists to do a few stretches you mentioned. I now see why it was aggravated, thank you🤗
Cindy , i noticed this as well … Dr Ryan has told me so much more than I was taught at my physical therapist clinic.
Thankyou
Very helpful..I'm just starting to realise why my SI joint pain keeps flaring up.
I'm doing things to annoy it
Always the clicking and popping which all the therapists kept saying " oh its nothing so long as it doesn't hurt "
I'm realising after 5 years there are a lot of professionals who should learn a bit more !
Thankyou great info
I absolutely loved this. My physio said the other day it was my back, but like your video said I know where to pinpoint the si in my hip. I go to the gym and do AB's, Butts & Thighs 2 days a week , I also find it difficult to tighten my "core" because of two big scars I have. My physio gave me a massage it all the next day
You’ve been studying this for the last 20 years? When did you begin? Age 8? And…. Yes… you’ve been incredibly helpful. Thanks😊
This guy knows his stuff.
Many of the exercises people recommend for back pain make things worse way worse . Listening to experts and Doctors created problems for me. Muscle relaxers and massage would leave me crippled.
The thing that made a difference for me was the quote “it’s not stiff, it’s weak”
Finally after years of chronic pain things are getting better.
- don’t stretch a muscle unless you work it first.
-as you fix one sore area another will appear. Seems to be caused from years of imbalance in my case.
When I feel a soft tissue pain I look for the muscle , sometimes it’s not the muscle that is sore but the fascia , in that case I just work on every muscle attached to that fascia. I learned a lot about internal hip rotation and hip adductor tears - good times.
Anyway my advice is work your glutes, the psoas and hip adductors. When your knees begin to hurt ( the imbalances) you’ll want to work your calves , with both straight and bent knees. Also I learned even though I was putting my hands flat on the floor I was not stretching my hamstrings. It seems I have to bend at the waist, push my hands in front of me whilst sucking in my gut , lifting my pelvic floor. The guy said I was only stretching the tendon . Anyway that made a HUGE difference. Years of squats and not being able to get a deep stretch until I learned that a few months ago. Whew !
Oh , and the pelvic thrusts, I don’t recommend them in public but I do recommend them.
Tks
Hi there, Sean!
Thank you so much for watching this video and for your feedback. I hope you are feeling relief! Great comment, and thank you for letting us know what is working best for you.
I so agree with you. I have been working with PT and it doesn’t help, in fact, it has made it hurt more. I go no where and my life is so limited. I pray this helps. How are you finding the muscle? How did you find someone to help you?
There is a great vibration plate video, 12 years old, that also recommends the ski position, tucking under the pelvis, pulling up belly button towards the spine, clenching butt muscles. Do all that on a vibration plate. I also make lateral movements, leg shifts.
I made clear progress in a just a week. It’s not over yet, but it helped a lot.
The big advantage of that is that the patient’s weight or other issues are not of concern with that exercice, vibration, which is rare. I find exercices often do not take into account that one person may weigh double compared to another, which multiplies effort in the presence of sarcopenia.
I am happy that your condition is improving and thank you for having taken the time to share the exercice that worked for you ! It gives me hope. I’ve lost 56 kg in the past but long term excessive work (PC) 18/7 made me put on 35 kg which I am now fasting off, keto, replacing fat with muscle. Love my vibration plate…. and I wish you continued success !
I am a 100% disabled veteran. I had to have 3 bones removed from my left foot, and my tibial tendon shortened. This caused my gait to change, and since that operation (about 3 years ago), my right SI joint is very painful. I am following along with your videos to try and fix this issue. I've been to doctors, chiropractors, nurse practitioners. I tried acupuncture and physical therapy. So far, nothing has worked, and it has just gotten worse. I ordered a Trochanteric belt and am going to try using it while I walk and sleep.
3 mins in and i have a huge correction. Been dealing with AS and SIJ pain for 20+ years. In my case, i also have a suuuuper tight and weak posterior chain. The “butterfly” stretch on the things to stop doing has brought about the most pain relief lately that ive had in years… again could just be me. Was surprised to find something sooo helpful at the top of the harmful list
I agree with the rest tho. Wish i woulda discovered strengthening my posterior chain earlier tho. Hip thrusters are great!
Thank you so much, my eyes were tearing as you described exactly what I was going through for a year and half and I couldn’t figure out that whole time what was happening in my right lower back and the glutes. My dr did mentioned about the SI joint pain buti didn’t pay much attention then. Thank you so much❤❤❤
I will follow your advice, stop doing all those yoga poses and strengthen my glutes and core
Thank you so much. I have been in so much pain for so long and searching TH-cam videos for an answer. I wasn't even sure which joint was causing this pain, let alone why. Twenty years ago, I had intense sciatica and had surgery on L4 and L5, so I knew this wasn't sciatica. I don't feel that popping was the right way to go, so held up and kept searching. I have severe rheumatoid arthritis so I have a lot of joint issues since I was dx'd before biologics. I can't do most of what you describe here but can certainly not do all those things that cause problems and pain. I can also start getting my whole body in better alignment. I just subscribed and just wanted to say thanks!
I’ve been battling SI joint pain for over 15 years. Watching this video showed that one of the exercises suggested to me was one of the 5 you said not to do. There are so many Drs who have no idea what to do. I am SO glad I found this video!!!
Hi Suzanne, thank you for your comment! We're so happy to hear that our video has been so helpful for you. Thank you for being here! 💙
Thanks doc...spot on...I have suffered this for almost 5 yrs doctors could not diagnose...but your videos jave helped me self diagnose just 2 days watching your videos...God bless
You would have been better off seeing a physiotherapist. The more specific about preceding or any causative activities a sufferer can be, and possibly identifying the names of painful muscles (anatomy illustrations), the more precise and faster they can help.
I’ve had a spinal fusion and now SI joint issue so I learned any type of lunge movement, even stagnant causes trouble. I don’t teach yoga anymore because of it. I get a lot of popping, esp on my right. I get back, pelvic and glute pain. The other day I sat crossed legged on my mat and I’m stiff so I don’t do it often. But it really helped my pain. I can’t do any of those pigeon poses either. No deep squats either.
My SI issue appeared after l4-5 fusion but only after a ridiculous twisting chiropractic adjustment. I do some isometric pushing out exercises to strengthen my SI. Laying down with one knee bent and pushing that knee into my hand. It helps too. Surprised how much. I used to teach yoga and Pilates and train so I know the anatomy. This is so correct!
I am constantly struggling with whether to stretch more or just leave it be.
This information helped me.
I have to learn the bridge exercises!!
Hi David,
Thank you so much for your comment.
My program teaches you the most effective way to do the bridge as well as plenty of other moves that we perform over a 3 month course in healing back pain for good.
Check out the 7 Day Free Trial here:

OMG, finally someone that tells me why I would hear a pop with asymmetrical exercises. My S I joint has been hurting so much!
I'm so sorry to hear that, Jacqueline. Glad to hear the video was helpful in helping you understand why you might experience a pop with asymmetrical exercises. 😊
I’ve been so confused over the years and doing all the things you say not to do and inching my way toward realizing asymmetrical posture and movement was a problem. Your pointing out the anatomy so clearly and showing the exercises that are wrong so clearly is very helpful!
Great video. I developed SI joints pain after lumbar surgery. Then I was sent to a pain clinic for SI joints pain. The injections were every 60 days until insurance companies decided that 60 days is better. The injections last about 20 days and then the pain is back. I am certainly going to start doing the bridge.
For 7 years i have been told by doctors/ pysical therapists/ chiropractors that my problems are back& hip pretty much gave up untill recently doing youtube research & tried si vids& immediately it popped& gave instant relief unfortunately it wont stay fixed will keep working with these videos thanks
This makes sense to me. I've been stretching and stretching and not realizing why things are not getting better. Thanks
LOVE the skeleton demos, showing exactly where things are happening. This is great material, don't stop.
Much appreciated, Tom. I will keep going... thank you for the support and encouragement!
You are the best. I remain grateful for all you have taught me, and continue to teach through your online presence.
Thank you so much Rebecca. You are in my thoughts often. I'm proud and grateful to have you in the CBT community and for your support 🙏
Hi do u have a website please for help with this pain like one on one please
New injury. I know now totally understand how this happened to me. Thank you
Sir you are my hero. I was born with lower lumbar scoliosis, not severe but one leg is about 1 1/2 inches shorter than the other. I've been in pain at least most of my adult life and I'm 65. I've been in and out of PT for years. This last stint in PT has been 3 months. I have days still when I can't get out of bed. Along the way I've developed spinal stenosis and some arthritis in my spine. I know the the exercises I've been doing are making this. I'm not going back anymore. I will follow your advice. I'm also going to get a shoe lift and a brace to wear when I do activities that are especially stressful on that si joint. Thank you. Thank you.👍👍
Hi, Doreen!
Thank you so much for watching this video. I really hope that you are feeling some relief. Here is a video that I created talking about SI Joint Pain Things TO DO:
th-cam.com/users/live0G2D0ZW1OUc?feature=share
I hope you find it encouraging and thank you so much for your comment!
Ugh Sorry you have to seal with that i hope you get some kind of relief
I love this info. I’ve had extreme SI joint pain for 11 months now. Steroid injections every 3 months so far and prescription NSAID. I think I’ve been stretching too much and walking. No more walking in the neighborhood. I’m down to a wheelchair for any length of steps like going shopping. Walking is the worst!
This is the best description I’ve ever seen for SI joint issues! Thank you for the info!
Thank you for sharing and for tuning in!
So true
you are amazing, thank you this has helped me so much 2 weeks into implementing things i found on your channel and im feeling drastic pain relief.
Thank you so much your videos have helped me start on my journey to getting over my SI joint pain. I really appreciate the time you take to explain the reasoning behind the pain and show videos of the specific types of exercise to avoid. I had lost hope after trying everything for 3 months but now I am finally seeing improvement in my chronic pain
Thanks for this video! I've seen so many videos that tell the viewers to do a lot of the exercises shown here...No wonder my SI pain isn't getting much better....
OMG 😢 I do all these bad stretch’s. I’m my own worst enemy
Me too
Same here
Yep welcome to the club
It's just that Americans buy into things like "yoga" and then we injured ourselves you know.
Like I was doing deep squats thinking it was helping me but I injured my SI joint really bad. Believing I'm on the mend, learning a lot. Just keep learning and teaching others the good exercises we need.
I wonder if folks from India or yoga countries have healthy older people, check that out. Or are they crippled? We don't want to be like that.
Your teaching has validated my attempts over the past few months. Your explanations are very clear, providing a theoretical foundation for my assumptions. Thank you!
Having just spent the last 3 days unable to get out of bed and in so much pain again from this joint popping and feeling out of place this information is so helpful. All I did was sneeze! I think I damaged my right joint during labour with my second child as it's been bad since then. Bridges are on the plan from now on!
Excellent video. It’s great to listen to a professional that has experienced the very things he’s explaining.
Super helpful, and thank you.
I'm a massage therapist, and this issue is a daily see, either motor vehicle accident, athlete, hip replacement, or daily life...
Thanks so much for the corrections.
I will be watching and looking into your teachings...
Thank you for sharing and for being here! 😊
Went to back doctors today for help with SI
Pain. Hell!!!. Hope to learn even more here. Heat seems to help more than ice at this point.
Literally did all of these don'ts as a routine to try to fix my si joint...
Thank you so much for sharing this video. I was wondering what I should avoid as I was in deep pain and have started doing your 3step stretches which really gave me some pain relief and I continue them. Started watching your video from past two days and this popped when I’m wondering about which exercises to avoid. Thank you so much :)
Yours is one of the best videos I have seen as I search for home therapy to relieve SI pain in my SI joint, hamstrings and knees. You teach what NOT to do (habits I have had for a long time) that I will practice every day until it becomes natural. I learned the best positions to strengthen my SI joint and core while not doing positions and stretches that will do harm. I will follow you. Thanks!
Great work. I’m diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis, I have extreme pain in every joint in my body
Ankylosis spondylitis
Wow some of these exercises I was given by a physiotherapist, no wonder it hasn't been helping! The pain has been unbearable for Two years now, it happened just by standing up off a sofa. The consultants I've seen have said that as it now crunches if I lay down on my left side, the back on my hip has started crunching that it's normal. Really don't know what to believe any more after this video
Thank you so much for this information. I have been dealing with sacroiliac pain for over 8 months. Your explanations make sense. I've been doing some wrong stretches for a long time. I will work on changing my stretching exercises.
This is exactly what I was telling the therapist in Vancouver. Thank you for sharing your knowledge !
Seems like your intuition was right! You’re very welcome 👍
I find all of the things you said not to do, to actually be very helpful if done in moderation and in concert with bilateral work, with an eye on restoring balance by breaking asymmetric dysfunction and staying active and focused in the stretch. My glutes used to be really tight, and I had considerable sciatica. If i try to stretch both sides or do any work when I'm out of balace, it just reinforces the pattern and pushes my si further into its current painful configuration.
Thank you for sharing your perspective! It's great that you've found what works best for you. Finding the right balance is key!
OH MY GOODNESS! Thank you thank you SO much for this. I've been in pain for two weeks now (including feeling as though hot water is being poured all along my inner and outer leg, if i sleep on the opposite side), having felt a ping or pop somewhere low in my back, simply straightening up from picking up a tiny stone from my floor. Gradually, I've begun to suspect it's my SI but I wasn't sure. Until now! For YEARS I've had popping when I do the reclined bicycle exercise, on one side as I lower my leg, and I had no idea why. Now I know, and it makes perfect sense. Thank you again; I can begin my journey to recovery, knowing at least from where it starts!
Alice, I'm so happy to hear that this video helped you. You've got to understand the problem in order to solve it. Thanks for the comment!
Same here. 3 weeks in pain but months with the pops!!!
I drive all day and have developed flexing exercises for in my vehicle while remaining symmetrical and have vastly improved my si. Lits of glute flexes and pressing my legs outward against the car door and center dash area symmetrically feeling muscles activate and strengthen that i haven't felt in years. P.s. my si started after a fall as a security guard job where i walked all day...i took the driver job to telax and reset my muscle groups just figuring it would help ans then to rebuild them symmetrically and started experimenting with flexes in the car and developed multiple flexes that have given me steong glutes and thigh hip lower back muscles again. This video confirmed i was doing similar things with symmetry and giving the si a break lol. You taught me much more though so thank you!
Thank you for watching, Anthony! I am so glad I was able to teach you something new. Thank you for being here.
I'm definitely subscribing and considering your master class. I've had low back and SI Joint pain for 35 years. I know my posture is horrible, my core is weak and my hips tilt so forward i can't sleep on my back. I sit with my legs crossed or on the ground criss cross all the time! I have been my own worst enemy and all my doctors and physical therapist focus on none of these things. Very disappointing. I've been seeking help for so so long and none of it has worked. Definitely going to try these things out.
Thanks for the info. I just got Injections in my SI joints. I'm going to be doing those bridges.
This is an amazingly helpful video. I am in severe one-sided SI joint plain right now. Exactly due to overdoing all the wrong things pointed out in this video. I had no idea. Thank you for the valuable lesson.
It was such a helpful and informative video. There’s a lot of different stretches recommended for people with back pain, and this video helped me understand that for my specific back pain, SI joint pain, I need to stop doing a lot of the stretches I had been doing thinking it would help me.
This is the best video on this topic - i did almost everything of the "don'ts" assuming it will reduce the lower back pain...the more pain the more i have been stretching. Thanks for the great advices!
Thank you so much for sharing! Glad you found it helpful! 😊
Brilliant! 1st time found you today. Will give it a go. Sufferring with SI joint pain for 3 months… seeing chiropractor but not getting much better
thank you for the video! i recently went to a chiropractor to get relief and find out what causes my lower back pain and disables me from moving. I found out this joint is involved and then came across your video. This information is really helpful. I hope I won't have to keep relying on pricey adjustments after trying these stabilizing exercises. 😊
Been waiting for a diagnosis and PT referral for far too long- and doing all the wrong stretches in the meantime. I feel like this is the answer, starting today!
I just viewed your video and you told me not to do everything Ihave been doing according to so many other PT's on TH-cam. Your recommendations seem to make a lot more sense. I do suffer from si joint pain lately because of being overweight, 70 years ago and also bouncing on a tractor. I also have pelvic pain for 51/2 years. I do many of the stretches and strength exercises you say not to do to relieve my pelvic pain. I have a Lousy core. Thank you.
Very informative and I have such greater insight into my on again and off again jolting popping inside my pelvis and back when I walk and after STRETCHING!
This video was great. I’m currently in therapy for SI pain. I’ve been doing yoga for years and started having lower back pain about 5 months ago. Now I’m working on strengthening my glutes. I will be watching your channel for more exercises to balance out my body. Thank you for this really helpful information😊

Thank you intro was slow but it delivered complete info. I have has SI for two decades.
This was sooo helpful! I’ve lately been in so much pain and now I know it’s SI related. No one else has mentioned SI. Please continue to make these videos. Also, can you do a video on the best position to sleep in? We sleep for hours and I know that’s one of the things I’ve done wrong to cause this pain. Thank you!
I have been watching video after video regarding the pain I was having. I can stop looking now as you explained exactly where and what I was feeling in my lower back. I also realize that I was doing the wrong stretching routine. Thank you.
I found you on Facebook and watched this video and turns out I was doing all the wrong stretches! I'm excited to find your channel and try some new advice for my SI joint pain.
That's wonderful to hear! We're so glad you found us on Facebook and that the video was helpful. Welcome to our channel! 😊
Very helpful! The symptoms you describe are exactly like the ones I have experienced over the years, becoming intense recently. I have had various treatments but nothing has worked and I suspect no one has come up with a diagnosis. I will take these recommendations and hopefully find relief. Thank you!
Yes . Finally something that connects to my issue
This video was extremely helpful in showing me what NOT to do…I was literally screaming in pain when getting up…thank you, the pain already stopped just NOT doing tjose certain things.

Core Balance Training is an excellent program! Thank you, Dr. Peebles!
Im suffering from a chronic back pain since 15 y.o when I decided to squat for the first time and it was the last time as well. I paid thousands of dollars to fix my back pain during this whole 5 years but nothing was done correctly, I can say that the back pain decreased by 30%, but it still exist 24/7,I’m not able to do many sports that I love to do, I’m always careful with it… I have an SI Joint inflammation, Flat lumbar back, Herniated disk, I need something to deal with it, because it causes me seasonal depression when I see myself still young and my health is already gone

Thank you! I learned I have been doing yoga poses that were making my pain worse. Now I know. I have hypermobility all over my body, and my si joint are chronically loose. Painful pops all the time. I have been taking Diclofenac for a year. It helps but is ruining digestion.

Thank you so much for this video, the problematic with the joints is so well explained, I did not hear this before.
Since my accident, nobody told me where is the origin of my pain and low mobility, bad posture. Now since a few weeks, I do myself some exercises. I did not get any explanation from the physiotherapist before but the pain is exactly there in the joints, which are now after a few years very stiff and painful, leading to an overall bad body posture😅. I still hope to improve.
