Hi Dennis, thank you for sharing! We’re grateful to have had you in the program and proud of the progress you've made! Glad to hear that the program helped you avoid spine surgery. 🙏
This is spot on. It really confirms my personal experience. I was doing HIIT, Inferno Hot Pilates, Bikram Yoga, running, skating.. and I gradually figured out that anything that causes a sheer stress on the SI Joint (which is pretty much anything where the legs are crossed or in a forward lunge including running) is aggravating it. At first I tried to modify my movements. Eventually, I had to stop them completely. Sitting and Lying down were the only positions that did not hurt. It sucked for someone that thrived on exercise. After the back pain subsided with inactivity, I also developed sciatic nerve pain on one side which had major flare ups at odd times which did not necessarily coincide with exercise and was serious enough for me to take pain killers (which I never do unless its unbearable.) That also has eventually improved, but it's taken time and is still there lying dormant. Now, I swim and only do weights, and very moderate linear exercises where my legs do not cross or split. I am grateful for this video and I'll watch your others. I've already learned the hard way what you are teaching here. I was doing bridge before. And learned with the belt and this makes total sense when you understand the physics behind it. Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We're glad to hear that our video resonated with you, and that you've found relief through modifying your exercise routine. Keep up the fantastic work! 😊
I am tearing up typing this comment. I’ve lived in excruciating pain for some time. One dr saying it’s my hip joint, but x ray only shows mild degenerative issues for a 58 yr old female. I’ve tried PT, stretching, yoga, resting. No relief. I was recently considering plasma injections I’m feeling SO discouraged. It feels like my hip locks up! This exercise REALLY works! I’m grateful to have stumbled on your page! I feel 1,000,000,000 better after two sets of really resisting with an old belt! How many times can I do this daily to aid my pains? I just got a new job which requires me to walk up and down the streets of San Francisco which are steep! Do you have any tips for walking? I’ve grown SO slow to combat the pinching pains I feel THANK YOU for this video! I feel instant relief from the pinching! Even my husband noticed
I started doing the bridge exercise with strap only 4 days ago and i already have a reduction in pain and some ease in daily activities. I did do some ice massage on both SI joints the first 3 days. I also followed your advice on walking daily and using the SI belt. I now feel some hope that i can recover using your methods. Thank you 😊
I know deep squats are on the avoid list when SI pain is issue, which is me. I've finished CBT program and have significant relief and mostly so many more helpful tools that help me daily and with flare-ups and greater understanding about what's going on in my body and what helps and hurts. I'm still mastering later skills:). I'm wondering how to phase back into deep squats as they usually feel good to me and are useful in daily life for me but I don't want to aggravate and cause unbeknownst micro tears that cause pain later. Continued appreciation for all that CBT team do!!! TIA
Hi Tia, thank you so much for sharing your progress with us! It's fantastic to hear that you've experienced significant relief and are gaining helpful tools from the program for your daily life and flare-ups. It's a journey, and it's wonderful that you're still mastering those skills. Regarding your question about phasing back into deep squats, it's great that you're mindful of not causing any discomfort. Here's a helpful video that covers the next steps after stabilizing the SI joint and provides guidance on easing back into activities, including deep squats: ruclips.net/video/m5oOyvDVr9U/видео.htmlfeature=shared.

I get the most relief and resistance from reoccurring pain from walking and hiking. Too much extended sitting or lying in bed without intervening exercise causes the pain to reappear.
Excellent presenter and the content is absolutely on point. After two back surgeries and endless steroid injections for multiple back issues, I find these presentations the most effective education and solution of any other medical procedure I've had.
I tried it for the first time I’ve been in pain for a few days now and like you said it gives instant relief but it’s not a solution. We have to continue doing this on a regular basis and I get that but I want to thank you because these exercises that you post on here make all the difference in peoples lives that feel they have no place else to go after physical therapy and steroid injectionsin the mindset that we don’t want to go in for surgery for whatever reason it may be so this gives comfort and relief and keeps you moving so thank you thank you thank you
I initially was told by a few PT colleagues, at different times, that my right hip was tilted and rotated, but recent radiographs revealed B hip tilt and rotation and instability. (I fell down 5 slippery wet steps in ‘98) and have otherwise been in pretty good shape, however all along unwittingly reinforcing mm imbalances. Recently I tried SI belt which seemed to help a bit, but I needed THR AND 2 low back surgeries, 2 weeks apart. Now trying to adhere to post op precautions while attempting to treat neuropathies and SI instability and symptomatology. This was very helpful and I was guided here via another one of your videos. Thank you 🙏🏼 ❤😊
I'm BEYOND thankful for your existence!! I "hurt" my SI joints about a month ago (improper bend or twist, not entirely sure what I did), and I've been doing all the wrong stretches... I attempted doing the Bridge exercise, but at first it hurt too much to even lift my butt off the floor. So I waited for it to start feeling a bit better, and now I can do the bridge and it's helping me immensely!! I'm 53, and was so down thinking I'm done for with this back pain. Thank you thank you for your advice and your videos. 🙏🏼
I had SI joint pain that was Chronic for 2 months. I learned to put a cold pack on the area with a belt for 30 minutes on ....and 30 off...for as long as I had time for between work and time at home. After a week....I finally was relieved from 60 some days of extreme uncomfortable irritation . I haven't heard of icing it anywhere. Maybe this will help some one.
Can you please explain how you use the ice pack having the belt(explain what type of belt) on and if i get this right , ice pack for 30 minute without the belt. Anything else im missing??
@@lydiadavis7063 Get 2-3 opinions and try everything else first. Don’t buy into all the good reviews of a certain implant co online. I’m not saying who. Yes it was severe and debilitating for many yrs. Two fusions and periformis release. Very stressful. All I can offer. Do lots of your own legwork, listen to these videos incl trying exercises he gives plus tips. Also find a good physical therapist with lots of experience with this issue . Good luck.
I have discomfort on my right side of my hip, or upper glutes; it starts to become worse 30 seconds after I walk, creeps in, and goes away approximately 70% after two to three minutes. Sitting or bending causes pain. I started to have this issue after doing heavy deadlifts, heavy squats, heavy leg presses, and heavy leg extensions until failure. I appreciate you sharing these wonderful videos.
Hi Wangpua, 'm really sorry to hear about the discomfort you're going through. I want to share a video Dr. Ryan made about SI joint pain and exercises to avoid while working on stabilizing the SI joint: ruclips.net/video/VvfwP-XPakk/видео.html. I believe it could be really helpful for you. We also have a wealth of knowledge that we share on our channel about dealing with lower back pain during bending and sitting. Specifically, we have a lesson on sitting in the free 7-day trial of our program that I think could be useful for you. If you're interested, you can learn more about it here: www.corebalancetraining.com/program. I hope this helps!
I had Rehab Physical Therapy that though very helpful.....failed to TEACH me the WHY, of some of the exercises, and that the BELT shoould be weaned off, only when stable to do so....Therefore I never got off the belt. Never Stabilized and have had 12 years of weekly adjustments just to get through my life. My hips alignment effected my walking gait and foot, and upper Cervical. It is unfortunate that the most valuable information is left out . Incomplete information is a real issue. THANK YOU for the thoughtful explanation. Your PT guy who suffered, til your recommendations is an example of how within the PT world there are some major deficits in complete understanding and yes, knowledge of how the body works. It is often those that have suffered make the best medical and sports medicine teachers, the mother of invention. THANK YOU ! God Bless you Ryan.
Thank you so much for your detailed videos !! Explaining this problem in such detail. And also giving solutions and what movements to avoid. I've always had a feeling I should be avoiding certain stretches but wasn't sure. I wish more professionals would understand this problem and advise with the right solutions...
Absolutely the best explanation and advice on SI joint pain I’ve come across! Thank you. After focusing on glute strength and tight hip flexors and learning what triggers the pain - a diary can be useful because the pain is not always immediate- my SI problem has improved a lot. In my case cycling and swimming both seem to aggravate it … just took a while to work that out bc I thought they would help.
Hi there, thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We're so grateful for your kind words and so happy to hear that Dr. Ryan's explanation and advice on SI joint pain have been helpful to you!
I've been dealing with crippling SI joint pain on the left side for months. I've had some temporary reilief from a chiropractor only for it to get worse, and your video explained so much. I'm going to try this belt exercise and will report back soon
I said I would report back and just want to thank you for helping me to understand and fix my low back pain. I've been working on glute bridges for 3 weeks and started wearing an SI belt two weeks ago. I'm happy to say that I'm 95% pain free and enjoying life again!
@@ptrucello just repetitive weightlifting and no attention to stretching or mobility. I've since completely cured my back pain by focusing more on training glutes which I never did before. Glute bridges are the way 👍🏻
The absolute best explanations & 3-D pictures. For me, an engineer, I need to now the WHY's of my Butt pain. My GP Dr. & a phy therapist just assumed it was an L-4 pinched nerve & we just did standard, ALL U-tube available, stretches & exercises getting some benefits over 2 months. With rest & following Dr. CORE I am now healing!
finally someone who seems to understand my symptoms. Its been over 2 years, 2 MRI's and vague diagnosis each time by spine doctors. Question I have is I often hear and feel multiple pops and cracks throughout my lumbar area, like bubble wrap. All my pain is at SI area. Do the same soft tissue or ligament principles apply? Thank you!!!!
Thank you so much for this information. I’m practicing my bridge pose & it definitely relieves my pain. Nothing else has really worked for me. Thank you! I’m going to take your Master class!
Wow, you've earned my subscription, and a big THANK YOU! I used to suffer from lower back pain, so I bought an inversion table. After using it for about a month, I experienced sharp pain immediately upon rolling back from inversion. Later, I developed even worse lower back pain, which I didn't realize was SI joint pain at the time. Despite continuing to use the inversion table, it didn't relieve my pain. After researching the area of pain, I suspected it was SI joint pain. I tried several exercises, including ones from your video, even with resistance bands, but the pain persisted. However, after watching your video and doing the exercises with a belt for 2-3 sets, I felt significant pain relief. I plan to continue these exercises with the belt in the coming days. Thank you so much.
This is the first description, that of essentially spraining the pelvis, that matches my symptoms... having sprained other parts of my body in the past I now recognize the sensation. Thanks for that.
SI joint pain "do's and Don'ts video was brilliant with fantastic models of human anatomy, during your talk in that RUclips upload. The comments on that video... 💫encourage me to see more from your channel (so I've come to this video straight after) "as so many people in comments said they have benefited from your explanations" (more so than other health, sources and appointments, they previously seen or experienced.) 🎉 thank you for your educational content. 🙏😊
Hi Ryan, Thank you so much for the explanation. I have been sitting on one of my feet all the time due to Raynards giving me cold toes. One piece of advice, if I may. The sound effect when a blue banner sweeps by can make a tired person insane. 😅 It sounds like you are blowing into the microphone. I don’t mean to be offensive just encouraging you to make it easier to listen.
Thank you for this! I am on week six of the program and loving it and have seen some of my symptoms improve a lot! What you said here makes total sense. Ive been dealing with SIJ pain on and off for over six years and I have gotten so many different opinions about it. Most recently the Chiro put me on the decompression table three times a week for 12 weeks. It was SO painful and now i know why! He said it usually doesn't hurt and that the pain should subside over time. It did, it got less painful but it was still always painful and this video helps me understand why.
Hi Taylor, thank you for sharing! We're so happy to hear that you're experiencing improvements in your symptoms through the program. Glad the video could provide some clarity for your situation! We're grateful to have you in the program and proud of you for the progress you've made! 🙏
Thank you so much. I think you have potentially solved my problem - one month into my sprain. Hopefully if I take this advice - only another 3 months of being careful. So much misinformation going around and shockingly - from a handful of highly qualified health care professionals.
I had SI joint pain, and after it was manoeuvre by professional, I had much more pain . After doing the exercises that you advised , the pain was reduces. Thanks
Great videos thank you....coming back from having been hit on my roadbike after back surgery and honing in on getting everything happy again....belt...huge help!
3. Quick questions! I have severe SI joint pain right now. Very weak and most in bed. 1. If this helps close the SI joint, is it a bad idea to do the opposite exercise (pressing in on a ball between the knees)? 2. If the SI Joint is inflamed and this exercise presses on it, should I expect this to cause pain? 3. I can't do bridge yet (too weak and unstable). Is there any benefit to doing this exercise without the bridge ie just knees up while lying?
Thank you for professionally in most descriptive way explained the S1 joint and what should be avoided in particular stop asking chiro do manipulation on your lower back
My SI joint first hurt while I was pregnant 20 years ago! And later it hurt in 2018 while I was running (had been running half and full marathons for about a decade) and then it grew worse . Now I’m no longer running but I hurt myself really badly this time. Sometimes I think it never does go away but now this time I am going to try out what you’re recommending.
Based on your description of SI Joint pain, I’m pretty certain I’ve been suffering from it. I just started your exercise suggestions but I’m hoping you can also tell me if heat or ice will help. Thanks for your advice!
Just finding your videos, and loving them! I haven’t gotten through them all, so this may be answered in another video, but how much does the glute med play into the SI joint, and how beneficial is it to train/strengthen?
Clear, superb! images top notch exactly right, i was on the path of your pro friend/stopped it (inverion machine) your presentation arrived to expalin the why - synchronicity (you tube algorythm) ? thank you!
Hi Roger, thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad to hear that the video provided the clarity and explanation you were looking for. It’s great to know that it came at just the right time for you. Thank you for watching! 🙌
Based on the level of extreme pain I had out of the blue, I thought it must be stuck or dislocated or impinged. The SI belt and an large icepack helped more than anything else. Six weeks of excruciating pain. Now on to The Bridge :)
I'm 72 and fell 2 months ago. I have been in pain in the right SI joint. My Doc said I jammed it. I was offered physical therapy, but said no - I can't drive 95 miles there and back. I also have 3 bad heart valves and extremely irregular heart beat. I am trying some mild stretching and it no longer feels like I am being stabbed every time I move.
You said that your friend feels like his SI joint is moving... I took my next clicking all the time 😅 and my sciatica nurse hurts all the way to my toes.. also, bridge exercise hurts right now, I would really appreciate ig you direct me to what to watch next from your video. Please ❤
Love the content! Question: I was diagnosed by my osteopath with a hypermobile L5 Vertebral body which caused muscular imbalance and it seriously started to effect my SI joint to the point I could barely sit. Now Im in the recovery phase and as a Pilates Instructor I do a lot of bridge and side planking too to stabilize the SI joint. I wonder though how to address the L5 hypermobility as thats the was deemed to be the cause why my SI joint got to where it is now. Any suggestions or thoughts would be welcome 🙏 Thank you 🙏
I had moderate SI joint pain in my right side. This was in combination with facet joint pain that had come on as my spine was getting weak. Stupid of me to let my sound get weak as I had 4 years of surgeries and PT to overcome lots of debilitating pain several years ago. This time around the pain had been hard to fix and I was spending more time in bed each day (bad idea obviously but I couldn't find an alternative). So for my SI joint I thought I would try a chiropractor. He was a very good physio last time I had back pain so I thought I would try it out. Terrible mistake. Especially given my extra weak spine after a couple of weeks with a lot of time in bed. While adjusting my right side it looks like he has sprained my LEFT SI joint. It was agony the day after and I can't even walk now due to the pain. I have to use crutches. It's been 2 weeks of bed rest now and everything is falling to bits. I am trying to be out of bed as much as possible bug just standing is tiring and a painful right now. I have signed up for the course even though the questionnaire said it might not be suitable yet. Any tips for getting back from a very low level to some simple activity? Bridging is out of the question right now!
У меня такая-же ситуация. Остеопат искривил мои Сакроилиико,. Он вы дёрнул с большой силои обе стороны и они вышли из нормальное положение. Я мучусъ ужасными болями уже 10 месяцев, больно и трудно ходить. Спасаюсь поясом но знаю что НАДА с начяла поставить на место все кости Сакроилиико а потом носить 3 недели пояс чтобы связки поправлялись на свои места. А так как в етои стране где я живу нету специалистов по Сакроилиико я в безвыходнои ситуации. Хожу с искривленым Сакроилиико. Жизнь моя превратилась в адски кошмар с ежидневными мучительными болями благодаря тому Остеопат которыи меня искалечил своими погаными руками. Да накажет его Бог за все моими страданиями. Хотя ето мне уже и не поможет. Я благадарю етому физиотерапевта из видео что он так много важное информацию даёт нам страдающим етим недугом о котором даже врачи не все знают. Я лично была на консультации процедур у 3 Остеопат в, которые говорили что смогут мне помочь и к сожалению я только свои денги потратила и больше мне навряд ли так как они танули мои связки изо всех сил во все стороны. Потом была на консультации у 3 орторедов которые дали мне таблетки обезбаливащие и на етом все закончилось. Даже не дали проити компьютерную томографию посмотреть что происходит со связками есть ли разрыв. Похоже что они сами бояться узнать правду что не повредил тот Остеопат своими руками. Из етих видео многое узнала что можно и что нельзя делать. Я тоже пробовала растягивать мышцы, но получилось что я растягивала свои связки, так как мышцы очень слабые и ешще больше боли добавилось. Спасибо автору видео. Даи Бог ему здоровья.
My lower back was aching in the Sacrum area, so I went for a swim to see if it would loosen off. When I walked up the steps to leave the pool, my back went into a spasm , could not walk, or even hold myself upright . Agony........similar to the hanging upside down story.
If I join the program will I have access to have questions answered? This all makes sense to me but there is so much content out there I want to make sure I’m on the right track. Thanks!

@coreBalance i have chronic sacrollitis,bulge on L4&L5. symptoms lower back pain, pain inside both butts, and both legs pain. Does this sacrollitis mean SI joint issue? Should I be doing this exercise?
I've got stenosis everywhere, you never know what's going to flare up in my lower back, so I have to tailor my stretching depending upon which nerve is being dry-humped. I got radiculopathy all the way down I've got neurogenic claudication in my feet, all from an injury I sustained on a Coast guard cutter off the coast of Nova Scotia in 1976. I'm willing to try anything new
Do you offer in classes for both hypertonic pelvic floor dysfunction as well as SI joint pain. Severe. 24/7. I used to dance and clearly overstretched. Now, I’m screwed. Scoliosis as well. 😢😢😢 Drs offer Gabapentin and steroids, which I refuse. I can’t find pt who work on both.
Aaah, this makes sense. All the YT exercises only made mine worse, they are usually presented as a quick fix too which as explained here is an impossible concept. The body is a machine, if it stops working properly then the cause has to be identified before what is required to fix it can be worked out.
My SI joint pain starts with a sharp constant pain in my right SI joint that also mimics sciatica as it shoots down my right leg , acute pain in my lcl (or at least I think it’s the lcl) and my right ankle, on the outer side of it. Nothing I’ve tried works and I’m on a lot of painkillers because of it. Any recommendations? Thank you for the video
My Dr wants me to have physical therapy and then surgery to fix the si joint . Im 75. When I was 55 I had a major spinal fusion which was from the L5 to the S1 vertebrae. I had no troubles until this year when the si joint must have gone out of whack or whatever. Now I'm in so much pain I cry every day. I am incapable of doing much at all in the house. My hobbies sit and mock me. I hate waking up. What's the point?
I’ve been dealing with left si joint pain on and off for a few years. I’m curious if fracturing your ilium could be a contributor to this? I’m in my early 20s and fractured mine right one in hs about 7-8 years ago playing soccer. Didn’t require any surgery though just pt for 3 months.
This program is amazing. This guy is no snake oil salesman, his program helped me avoid spine surgery 👍

Me too.
For me as well
Thanks for the explanation, I did not know that it was so bad to be upside down for si joint pain

Definitely be careful doing the Bridge. It helped my SI joint but I strained my neck really bad.
I had neck problems while doing the bridge….. But found out I was slightly over arching ….. now I have no problems…hope this helps….good luck
@Gellowseeker I believe you're right I was definitely over doing it.
Can you do this standing or sitting down. It’s really hard for me to lay flat

Isn't that quite bad for the kidneys? I remember a that motobike riders have a belt to prevent this area from cooling down.
What do you think of SI joint fusion where they use 2 screws to stabilize n give support to the area?

Get 2-3 opinions and try everything else first. Don’t buy into all the good reviews of a certain implant co online. I’m not saying who. Yes it was severe and debilitating for many yrs.

Hi Wangpua, 'm really sorry to hear about the discomfort you're going through. I want to share a video Dr. Ryan made about SI joint pain and exercises to avoid while working on stabilizing the SI joint: ruclips.net/video/VvfwP-XPakk/видео.html. I believe it could be really helpful for you.
We also have a wealth of knowledge that we share on our channel about dealing with lower back pain during bending and sitting. Specifically, we have a lesson on sitting in the free 7-day trial of our program that I think could be useful for you. If you're interested, you can learn more about it here: www.corebalancetraining.com/program. I hope this helps!
I had Rehab Physical Therapy that though very helpful.....failed to TEACH me the WHY, of some of the exercises, and that the BELT shoould be weaned off, only when stable to do so....Therefore I never got off the belt. Never Stabilized and have had 12 years of weekly adjustments just to get through my life. My hips alignment effected my walking gait and foot, and upper Cervical. It is unfortunate that the most valuable information is left out . Incomplete information is a real issue. THANK YOU for the thoughtful explanation. Your PT guy who suffered, til your recommendations is an example of how within the PT world there are some major deficits in complete understanding and yes, knowledge of how the body works. It is often those that have suffered make the best medical and sports medicine teachers, the mother of invention. THANK YOU ! God Bless you Ryan.
Just did this exercise and pain gone for now. Thanks
Thank you so much for your detailed videos !! Explaining this problem in such detail. And also giving solutions and what movements to avoid. I've always had a feeling I should be avoiding certain stretches but wasn't sure. I wish more professionals would understand this problem and advise with the right solutions...
Absolutely the best explanation and advice on SI joint pain I’ve come across! Thank you.
After focusing on glute strength and tight hip flexors and learning what triggers the pain - a diary can be useful because the pain is not always immediate- my SI problem has improved a lot. In my case cycling and swimming both seem to aggravate it … just took a while to work that out bc I thought they would help.
Hi there, thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We're so grateful for your kind words and so happy to hear that Dr. Ryan's explanation and advice on SI joint pain have been helpful to you!
I've been dealing with crippling SI joint pain on the left side for months. I've had some temporary reilief from a chiropractor only for it to get worse, and your video explained so much. I'm going to try this belt exercise and will report back soon
I said I would report back and just want to thank you for helping me to understand and fix my low back pain.
I've been working on glute bridges for 3 weeks and started wearing an SI belt two weeks ago. I'm happy to say that I'm 95% pain free and enjoying life again!
@@NewspaperHistorywas your si joint pain from an injury or due to activities that aggravated it?
@@ptrucello just repetitive weightlifting and no attention to stretching or mobility. I've since completely cured my back pain by focusing more on training glutes which I never did before. Glute bridges are the way 👍🏻
So helpful. Stability is key. Love the ankle analogy
It’s instant improvement! I’m crying for joy! Thank you SO SO MUCH! I’ve been in constant pain for years.
Amazing video. Perfect explanation. Answered all my questions.
The absolute best explanations & 3-D pictures. For me, an engineer, I need to now the WHY's of my Butt pain. My GP Dr. & a phy therapist just assumed it was an L-4 pinched nerve & we just did standard, ALL U-tube available, stretches & exercises getting some benefits over 2 months. With rest & following Dr. CORE I am now healing!
finally someone who seems to understand my symptoms. Its been over 2 years, 2 MRI's and vague diagnosis each time by spine doctors. Question I have is I often hear and feel multiple pops and cracks throughout my lumbar area, like bubble wrap. All my pain is at SI area. Do the same soft tissue or ligament principles apply? Thank you!!!!
Thank you so much for this information. I’m practicing my bridge pose & it definitely relieves my pain. Nothing else has really worked for me. Thank you! I’m going to take your Master class!
This makes so much sense to me.
Tried your bridge exercise, 3 reps, and really felt relief. 😂. Thanks
best chanel on youtube for such issues ❤
Wow, you've earned my subscription, and a big THANK YOU! I used to suffer from lower back pain, so I bought an inversion table. After using it for about a month, I experienced sharp pain immediately upon rolling back from inversion. Later, I developed even worse lower back pain, which I didn't realize was SI joint pain at the time. Despite continuing to use the inversion table, it didn't relieve my pain. After researching the area of pain, I suspected it was SI joint pain. I tried several exercises, including ones from your video, even with resistance bands, but the pain persisted. However, after watching your video and doing the exercises with a belt for 2-3 sets, I felt significant pain relief. I plan to continue these exercises with the belt in the coming days. Thank you so much.
This is the first description, that of essentially spraining the pelvis, that matches my symptoms... having sprained other parts of my body in the past I now recognize the sensation. Thanks for that.
Thanks, I got immediate relief indeed!
SI joint pain "do's and Don'ts video
was brilliant with fantastic models of human anatomy,
during your talk in that RUclips upload.
The comments on that video...
💫encourage me to see more from your channel
(so I've come to this video straight after)
"as so many people in comments said they have benefited from your explanations"
(more so than other health, sources and appointments, they previously seen or experienced.)
🎉 thank you for your educational content.
🙏😊
Great explanation, thanks you very much ❤
Hi Ryan,
Thank you so much for the explanation. I have been sitting on one of my feet all the time due to Raynards giving me cold toes.
One piece of advice, if I may. The sound effect when a blue banner sweeps by can make a tired person insane. 😅 It sounds like you are blowing into the microphone. I don’t mean to be offensive just encouraging you to make it easier to listen.
I gotta watch more of your videos. Thank you so much
I will embark on a journey alongside these videos soon.... I'll report my experience... thank you for your work guys.
Thank you for this! I am on week six of the program and loving it and have seen some of my symptoms improve a lot! What you said here makes total sense. Ive been dealing with SIJ pain on and off for over six years and I have gotten so many different opinions about it. Most recently the Chiro put me on the decompression table three times a week for 12 weeks. It was SO painful and now i know why! He said it usually doesn't hurt and that the pain should subside over time. It did, it got less painful but it was still always painful and this video helps me understand why.
Hi Taylor, thank you for sharing! We're so happy to hear that you're experiencing improvements in your symptoms through the program. Glad the video could provide some clarity for your situation! We're grateful to have you in the program and proud of you for the progress you've made! 🙏
WoW! thank you very much for sharing you wonderful expertise!! Truly appreciated... and needed... thank you
Oh my, after watching this video, it helps so much. Thank you for your helpful knowledge. I have happily subscribed.
Thank you so much. I think you have potentially solved my problem - one month into my sprain. Hopefully if I take this advice - only another 3 months of being careful. So much misinformation going around and shockingly - from a handful of highly qualified health care professionals.
I had SI joint pain, and after it was manoeuvre by professional, I had much more pain . After doing the exercises that you advised , the pain was reduces. Thanks
So happy to discover your video - very helpful
Great exercise especially with a belt! What a difference that makes!
I'm having really nasty SI pain right now. The story of the guy doing the stretch made me wince!!!! 😣
Wow, I’ve finally found the SI joint Bible!
Great videos thank you....coming back from having been hit on my roadbike after back surgery and honing in on getting everything happy again....belt...huge help!
😢 thank you SO much, I indeed have huge relief 😮💨
i am 70 had to give up golf been to chiro for over year and still had pain. It is chronic now so will be trying bridge
3. Quick questions! I have severe SI joint pain right now. Very weak and most in bed.
1. If this helps close the SI joint, is it a bad idea to do the opposite exercise (pressing in on a ball between the knees)?
2. If the SI Joint is inflamed and this exercise presses on it, should I expect this to cause pain?
3. I can't do bridge yet (too weak and unstable). Is there any benefit to doing this exercise without the bridge ie just knees up while lying?
I love your video content and how you explain every one of these problems. I am a CPM Pilatates Teacher I would love to work with you.
Very intelligent approach. Thank you
Thank you for professionally in most descriptive way explained the S1 joint and what should be avoided in particular stop asking chiro do manipulation on your lower back
My SI joint first hurt while I was pregnant 20 years ago! And later it hurt in 2018 while I was running (had been running half and full marathons for about a decade) and then it grew worse . Now I’m no longer running but I hurt myself really badly this time. Sometimes I think it never does go away but now this time I am going to try out what you’re recommending.
Did you mention you have a program that can be purchased??
Based on your description of SI Joint pain, I’m pretty certain I’ve been suffering from it. I just started your exercise suggestions but I’m hoping you can also tell me if heat or ice will help. Thanks for your advice!
Great info!! Would you recommend running knowing the si joint Is compromised but not too painful?
Finally I understand what I have
My favorite version of the bridge
This man is the real deal.
Thanks for your videos very useful will share. 😊
Just finding your videos, and loving them! I haven’t gotten through them all, so this may be answered in another video, but how much does the glute med play into the SI joint, and how beneficial is it to train/strengthen?
Clear, superb! images top notch exactly right, i was on the path of your pro friend/stopped it (inverion machine) your presentation arrived to expalin the why - synchronicity (you tube algorythm) ? thank you!
Hi Roger, thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad to hear that the video provided the clarity and explanation you were looking for. It’s great to know that it came at just the right time for you. Thank you for watching! 🙌
Great info!
Thank you so much for the tip, Isabella! Your generosity and support are much appreciated. 💙
Based on the level of extreme pain I had out of the blue, I thought it must be stuck or dislocated or impinged. The SI belt and an large icepack helped more than anything else. Six weeks of excruciating pain. Now on to The Bridge :)
Great video!
Incredible useful info 👌
Makes sense! 👍
I'm 72 and fell 2 months ago. I have been in pain in the right SI joint. My Doc said I jammed it. I was offered physical therapy, but said no - I can't drive 95 miles there and back. I also have 3 bad heart valves and extremely irregular heart beat. I am trying some mild stretching and it no longer feels like I am being stabbed every time I move.
Thank you sir ❤❤
Thank u if im in pain its better to wait the do them.. Right?
You said that your friend feels like his SI joint is moving... I took my next clicking all the time 😅 and my sciatica nurse hurts all the way to my toes.. also, bridge exercise hurts right now, I would really appreciate ig you direct me to what to watch next from your video. Please ❤
Love the content!
Question: I was diagnosed by my osteopath with a hypermobile L5 Vertebral body which caused muscular imbalance and it seriously started to effect my SI joint to the point I could barely sit. Now Im in the recovery phase and as a Pilates Instructor I do a lot of bridge and side planking too to stabilize the SI joint. I wonder though how to address the L5 hypermobility as thats the was deemed to be the cause why my SI joint got to where it is now. Any suggestions or thoughts would be welcome 🙏
Thank you 🙏
Interesting. But who it feels good and relief the pain when i stretch and mobilize ?
God bless you
I had moderate SI joint pain in my right side. This was in combination with facet joint pain that had come on as my spine was getting weak. Stupid of me to let my sound get weak as I had 4 years of surgeries and PT to overcome lots of debilitating pain several years ago.
This time around the pain had been hard to fix and I was spending more time in bed each day (bad idea obviously but I couldn't find an alternative).
So for my SI joint I thought I would try a chiropractor. He was a very good physio last time I had back pain so I thought I would try it out.
Terrible mistake. Especially given my extra weak spine after a couple of weeks with a lot of time in bed.
While adjusting my right side it looks like he has sprained my LEFT SI joint. It was agony the day after and I can't even walk now due to the pain. I have to use crutches. It's been 2 weeks of bed rest now and everything is falling to bits.
I am trying to be out of bed as much as possible bug just standing is tiring and a painful right now.
I have signed up for the course even though the questionnaire said it might not be suitable yet.
Any tips for getting back from a very low level to some simple activity?
Bridging is out of the question right now!
У меня такая-же ситуация. Остеопат искривил мои Сакроилиико,. Он вы дёрнул с большой силои обе стороны и они вышли из нормальное положение. Я мучусъ ужасными болями уже 10 месяцев, больно и трудно ходить. Спасаюсь поясом но знаю что НАДА с начяла поставить на место все кости Сакроилиико а потом носить 3 недели пояс чтобы связки поправлялись на свои места. А так как в етои стране где я живу нету специалистов по Сакроилиико я в безвыходнои ситуации. Хожу с искривленым Сакроилиико. Жизнь моя превратилась в адски кошмар с ежидневными мучительными болями благодаря тому Остеопат которыи меня искалечил своими погаными руками. Да накажет его Бог за все моими страданиями. Хотя ето мне уже и не поможет. Я благадарю етому физиотерапевта из видео что он так много важное информацию даёт нам страдающим етим недугом о котором даже врачи не все знают. Я лично была на консультации процедур у 3 Остеопат в, которые говорили что смогут мне помочь и к сожалению я только свои денги потратила и больше мне навряд ли так как они танули мои связки изо всех сил во все стороны. Потом была на консультации у 3 орторедов которые дали мне таблетки обезбаливащие и на етом все закончилось. Даже не дали проити компьютерную томографию посмотреть что происходит со связками есть ли разрыв. Похоже что они сами бояться узнать правду что не повредил тот Остеопат своими руками. Из етих видео многое узнала что можно и что нельзя делать. Я тоже пробовала растягивать мышцы, но получилось что я растягивала свои связки, так как мышцы очень слабые и ешще больше боли добавилось. Спасибо автору видео. Даи Бог ему здоровья.
How many times can I safely do this per day to see improvement?
My lower back was aching in the Sacrum area, so I went for a swim to see if it would loosen off. When I walked up the steps to leave the pool, my back went into a spasm , could not walk, or even hold myself upright . Agony........similar to the hanging upside down story.
I had an adjustment by my Osteopath and did give me immediate relief. 🤷♂️
Can we get the free trial without providing a credit card number?
If I join the program will I have access to have questions answered? This all makes sense to me but there is so much content out there I want to make sure I’m on the right track. Thanks!
What do you think about SI surgery with Ifuse implant system? Thank you
What about AS & PSA both of which cause chronic inflammation in the si joint also.
Can I find out more about getting a membership?

Can you do this sitting or standing. It’s very hard for me to lay flat
@coreBalance i have chronic sacrollitis,bulge on L4&L5. symptoms lower back pain, pain inside both butts, and both legs pain. Does this sacrollitis mean SI joint issue? Should I be doing this exercise?
I've got stenosis everywhere, you never know what's going to flare up in my lower back, so I have to tailor my stretching depending upon which nerve is being dry-humped. I got radiculopathy all the way down I've got neurogenic claudication in my feet, all from an injury I sustained on a Coast guard cutter off the coast of Nova Scotia in 1976. I'm willing to try anything new
I also have a QL spasm and I can't do bridge,as my QL hurts. What can I do instead of bridge?
@coreBalance is SI joint pain different from Sacrollitis?
Hello, my doctor recommended swimming for my sacroiliac pain and piriformis. Do you think it will help?
How many sets of these a day? Or just one morning and night?
Do you offer in classes for both hypertonic pelvic floor dysfunction as well as SI joint pain. Severe. 24/7. I used to dance and clearly overstretched. Now, I’m screwed. Scoliosis as well. 😢😢😢 Drs offer Gabapentin and steroids, which I refuse. I can’t find pt who work on both.
Aaah, this makes sense. All the YT exercises only made mine worse, they are usually presented as a quick fix too which as explained here is an impossible concept. The body is a machine, if it stops working properly then the cause has to be identified before what is required to fix it can be worked out.
Can I use a ball between my knees when I do the bridge excercise and squeezing the ball
Have you seen si joint fusion to be successful in your patients?
My SI joint pain starts with a sharp constant pain in my right SI joint that also mimics sciatica as it shoots down my right leg , acute pain in my lcl (or at least I think it’s the lcl) and my right ankle, on the outer side of it. Nothing I’ve tried works and I’m on a lot of painkillers because of it. Any recommendations? Thank you for the video
I forgot to mention the pain started a few months after S1-L3 fusion.
Does the bridge you show work if the opposite SI is fused, ie right SI pain and left is fused? Thank you.
Could someone enlighten me as to whether a 15 min session on exercise bike is recommended
How often should this exorcize be performed?
Hello what do you think about prolo therapy in sij pain.....?
My Dr wants me to have physical therapy and then surgery to fix the si joint . Im 75. When I was 55 I had a major spinal fusion which was from the L5 to the S1 vertebrae. I had no troubles until this year when the si joint must have gone out of whack or whatever. Now I'm in so much pain I cry every day. I am incapable of doing much at all in the house. My hobbies sit and mock me. I hate waking up. What's the point?
I’ve been dealing with left si joint pain on and off for a few years. I’m curious if fracturing your ilium could be a contributor to this? I’m in my early 20s and fractured mine right one in hs about 7-8 years ago playing soccer. Didn’t require any surgery though just pt for 3 months.
