I just want to say a big THANK YOU to Dr. Hesch for fixing my S.I. joint issue. I injured my knee from doing Zumba back in February. It took me many months to discover that I had S.I. joint issue, and that's why my knee pain and stiffness didn't go away. I went to see a physiotherapy and also followed a few exercises introduced to me from different RUclips channels and nothing helped but made the matter worst. Until I found this video, literally I felt the pain reduced so much right on the first time I did the exercises. I continued the exercises for one week as Dr. Hesch suggested. My S.I. joint problem went away. I highly recommended this video to anyone who suffers the same pain I had been thought. 👍🙏
WOW WOW WOW! Thank you so much. I refer to those stretches as gravity stretches. There are so many variables involved! Well done! You are helping so many. Much love to you!
Oh my God. I have been with this pain. Over two years now. . always thought it is anterior tilt. . One exercises of what taught. Am gradually feeling ok. Pls. May the universe keep u long for us. Thank u.
I love your videos. I have been really hurting for a long time and your videos are helping me understand what is happening with my pelvis so I can actually explain things to my therapists.
You are a miracle worker. I tried this once last night and have felt so much better since. I literally had pain with every step for years. I was trying to get back on opiate painkillers because I cannot take NSAIDS. I've tried everything through the years, chiropractor visits, PT and acupuncture. I feel a great sense of hope now and that i won't have to return to prescription drugs for relief.Thank you!
Thank you! I thought I found everything possible to help my si joint...this was the missing link! Both stretches were very tender and produced tons of release and popping and cavitation. Thank you!
Thank you doctor. I suffered from the pain and stiffness on left side for 6 months after i jumped from tree. Tried physio and chiro, nothing worked. These simple steps got me relief finally
Just found your channel. Feeling relief already using gravity work. Can now stand up on my own without the grabbing pain that was bringing tears to my eyes
I did the first stretch and immediately felt some relief. I just sort of slowly tried it to see. Based on some xray observations from a chiro, it sounded similar to my issues. I do feel some slight discomfort in my right SI joint as I do it. So not sure if I'm not quite positioned correctly. I just backed off. But the initial adjustment I felt was amazing. This adjusted my hip and up in to my rib (an old injury). I feel like there may be more pieces to my body puzzle but this was such a nice relief to start. Thank you. So glad someone referred me to your info.
@@JerryHeschInstitute At the beginning of the video you explain that some patients are given self adjusting techniques on the right side but not on the left. This video is for the left side. Is there a complementary video that explains the right side? This adjustment technique in this video may have helped a 10 year old injury in my rib on the left. I thought that side was just broken but it almost feels normal now. I'm still processing this and seeing if it lasts. Why do patients seem to only be given adjustment on the right I wonder?
Wow, after doing this stretch just once, I already notice how much more loosened up my left hip is. I didn't realize how tight it was before. This is great. I can already engage the muscles my PT wants me to focus on much more easily now.
Delighted! This approach (mea culpa) makes so much more sense than the MET muscle energy technique. It is what it is. Keep on healing. Best wishes Jerry
@@JerryHeschInstituteДоктор, приезжайте в Португалии в Лиссабоне. Нужна ваша помощь, пожалуйста помогите у меня искривление таз уже 5 месяцев.

Wow! You have just carried out the only positions I can get to sleep in! I worked them out myself through trial and error, anything to get rid of the pain I'm in. My doctor has been hopeless, saying they don't know what's wrong and giving me tramadol, then co-codamol, then pregabalin. I think they've given up on me now and are leaving me on prescription painkillers, changing them each time I complain that none of them are working well. I really am frustrated with this ongoing constant chronic pain.
Fantastic, your video is very good, I'm doing this exercises and it release my back pain a litle bit, I hope that in a few weeks it will help me more. I have visited a lot terapist, doctor, quiropracter... and nobody explain me these stretches. Thanks a lot. I wish his query was in my country. Bye
Dr Hesch, my guess is that the reason we see many more cases of left posterior ilium SJD over right posterior SJD is related to the population being overwhelmingly right-handed. I suspect many injuries are akin to mine where being right-handed I lifted a heavy object on my right side and torqued my torso to the left to counteract the lifting and carrying forces on my right side.
absolutely agree w you amazing some clinicians find the opposite w standing eval but do not do passive micro motion testing of pelvis and lower extremities. great observation! keep up the good wrk.
Could be however a so-named “right anterior ilium” is much more common than “left posterior” in truth it is probably a torsional pattern of pelvis on femoral heads. But left handed folk get same pattern so i blame fact that the environment is built for right handed so indirectly, yes!
With the first treatment exercise with the left leg extending backwards, is the weight of the leg dropping it down, with gravity, or is the person engaging the leg and keeping the iliums level?
Hi Gerry love your videos and explanations. Do you have any further info a book maybe with a further explanation you provided in this video? ie - Left posterior ilium. I assume this affects with long or short leg accordingly.
Hi Mitch Yes I do have a book you can find in the store tab at www.HeschInstitute.com. I also have three home study programs and have a few live workshops found in the education tab. Let me know if you have additional questions. Sometimes leg length changes sometimes not.
I will try these exercises for a long standing (30 yrs) sciatica injury. on my left side. I cannot sleep on either side at night as the right side has a bursa injury. Sitting, especially on a soft chair is painful and I feel like I have inflammation all the time. Any chiropractors I go to here in Australia just want to pull out on the leg which just makes it more painful. If I were in the states, I would try to get there asap. ;o)
While i cant give medical advice after i do a correction with my client i have them do the self correction shown to restore normal muscle length and do should same pattern recurr
I found your channel and I am impressed by your thoroughness and dedication to your patients. It's inspiring! I trained to do splits one sidedly as a teenager. I feel like that rotated my pelvis. Would this also cause an abnormal position in the ilium of the back leg (when taking about splits)? If I had done splits with the left leg in front...Would the left ilium likely be anterior and the right be posterior? Could this almost 20 years later still be an issue and cause problems when just walking? 🤔
Dr Hesch! Hello again! I'm now facing a possible diagnosis of "Stiff Person Syndrome", like Celine Dion has. Over the past 5 years, I've suffered such seriously strong L leg, hip, foot muscle spasms and cramps that are basically "Muscles in Tetany". I'm the only practitioner who has helped myself 😂! Other than your suggestions from years back! I believe my tendons in my L hip have torn from the inside Ilium. Almost healed. Only Dry Needling w/electric stimulate current would release muscles in buttocks and thigh! This ls also affecting Groin muscles going deep into pelvis, where dry needling cannot go! I plan on starting your course. Would this particular group of exercises be good to test out? Not one medical professional can diagnose this SI Joint issue with any definitive answers from Orthopedic to DC to PT or DO! Much thanks!❤ Sheila
How does scoliosis and facet joint damage along with multiple lumbar fusions & herniations and hEDS work with SI joint dysfunction? Will these type of corrections still work? I also have KFS (Klippel Feil Syndrome) and have had 3 cervical fusions so my body alignment is a bit of a mess. I can live with the pain from everything but this SI joint dysfunction is too much. Been doing Prolotherapy and Ozone for a year but seem to plateau with still a lot of pain.
Thank you for the video. My physio therapist says I have anterior upslip ilium but has been unable to fix it so far. Is there a self treatment you could recommend?
please search youtube hesch upslip or have your PT contact me. If they want to learn my material they can ask me fr a discount code. it is described (the webinar) on home page www.heschinstitute.com also could be a different patern perpetuating it see youtube hesch 16 paterns. hope this helps where are you? my email is best jerryhesch@heschinstitute.com
If you have higher right pelvis (right leg functionally shorter when I lie , when I sit they become even) then you do self correction for left or right Ilium? 👀
Thank you for this info. I can't find anyone to help me. My right SI is so painful. I have been in pain for a couple of years. When I do these exercises will I feel pain?
Without doing a hands on evaluation I do not know if they are appropriate for you. Please visit the Patient section at www.HeschInstitute.com if you are interested in seeing me. Please let me know if you have any questions.
@@JerryHeschInstitute what a nice man you are to respond. I did these exercises and I think I got some relief. I wish I could come see you. I live in California. My doctor sent me to pain management. The shot they gave me made me way worse. Thank you.
No but it is not expensive to see me in Denver for three days. For info see Patient section at www.heschInstitute.com sometimes it is economically effective to go to the source. @@mgd1345
@@JerryHeschInstitute I just started doing it. I was just trying to understand the mechanics. I think I have the presentation you mention. My left joint pops out towards the back. My right joint is more recessed. I can feel this if I am laying down. My left joint is also stuck. So I'm trying to understand why the stretch has us with the left leg stretching downward. Unless that causes the posterior side to rotate anteriorly?
@@mrskeppers1 I understand your point. I have left posterior ilium also. It seems counterintuitive because the stretch pulls the left ilium further in a posterior direction. The wierd thing is it does feel good doing it so I assume it is correct.
my pain is on the left side, pain in joint and also to the left of it a few inches and ocassionally goes down side of leg when walking or I take a step and foot hits the ground.
@@JerryHeschInstitute Excellent, thank you for the response. Is there any utility in increasing the frequency of the stretch at 5:25 to 3+ daily for a week and taper off thereafter?
Just wondering with the last technique, should I be feeling my quads burn a little bit, holding my leg towards the right, or should I be totally relaxing it and letting it lean on the bed

Can’t thank you enough for these videos
Thank you, Doc.
I can't find anyone to help me! Trying right now!
do you recommend doing these excersises on both sides or just the side we're having pain?
Dr Hesch, my guess is that the reason we see many more cases of left posterior ilium SJD over right posterior SJD is related to the population being overwhelmingly right-handed. I suspect many injuries are akin to mine where being right-handed I lifted a heavy object on my right side and torqued my torso to the left to counteract the lifting and carrying forces on my right side.
absolutely agree w you amazing some clinicians find the opposite w standing eval but do not do passive micro motion testing of pelvis and lower extremities. great observation! keep up the good wrk.
I did the opposite. Squatted and picked up a heavy 5lb object on my left.
is it because more people are right handed and lean more on that side?
Could be however a so-named “right anterior ilium” is much more common than “left posterior” in truth it is probably a torsional pattern of pelvis on femoral heads. But left handed folk get same pattern so i blame fact that the environment is built for right handed so indirectly, yes!
Great stuff.. I'm learning a lot thanks.
😃😁
With the first treatment exercise with the left leg extending backwards, is the weight of the leg dropping it down, with gravity, or is the person engaging the leg and keeping the iliums level?
The leg tends to release gradually like a ratchet in response to weight/gravity. If position is correct it is naturally suspended somewhat.
Well, something went pop. Not sure what. 24 hours will tell the story. Many thanks x
Hope you make a full recovery

Hi
Is “left on right” sacral torsion…(if that exists) the same as a left post pelvis. And this excersice a solution. Thanks for many great videos😊
No they are different. For sacral torsion see sacral torsion video but read disclaimer
Can you just switch these stretches to the opposite side in order to treat pain on your right side?
what is the different between right posterior innominate and right posterior ilium sacroiliac joint
@HESCH INSTITUTE thanks dr

Try robin kerr physio?
Would it be the same for the right leg?
Thank you!!
Yes
Omg the dog🤣🤣🤣🤣
should I get adjusted before doing these
Totally up to you it is not what i have my patients do
Are these exercises at the end to maintain a treatment? Or are they the “self treatnent”?

Could cause such but no know way of knowing for sure. A thorough hands on joint by joint screen may shed light. Optimism is appropriate
