Hi. Dr Joe I am a subscriber! I guess my questions Didn’t go through. I was diagnosed with SACRoiliac SI joint dysfunction. I’m scheduled to go for joint injection next week. I did your exercises today for the first time thank you so much. I’ve had three major back surgeries my back is fused with plates and screws from my neck down and I think that’s what they think my back is so fused they tell me that this happens to a lot of people I don’t know all I know is I can’t sit The pain is outrageous! Also I’ve read somewhere that I think squats and no good and I do Zumba so I don’t know if I should be doing that I don’t jump and I don’t spin around because I get vertigo. My question is what is the proper way to Ben’s with this I am 65 years old and I love Zumba but if it’s gonna make me in pain where I can’t function this is not good!I appreciate any help you can give me I love all your videos thank you so much! Susan Prudente McNally
saw this and didn’t think these exercises would really work,but i tried them out of desperation..i have cried tears of relief because after weeks of being in pain,i have finally felt pain free…bless tou and thank you!!!
This was the most useful video I’ve watched in a long time!!! I have had lower back pain for the past few days and after research figured it was my SI joint. I followed your exercises felt a pop and then my pain was gone!!! Thank you so much 🙏
What is this magic! Laying on your side, brining knee up in front of you and kicking back…that put me back in alignment! I could cry. These are fantastic!
Unbelievable. I am a 43yr independent contractor. I have been dealing with what I thought was a nagging hip flexor strain for the past 3 months, that would not go away or get better. Pain would drag around from my right SI joint, above my hip, and down to my thigh. Abdominal muscles hurt, hip joint hurt, etc. I just did your set of exercises once last evening, and once this morning. And i honestly am in shock. Muscles are still a bit sore(I'm sure because they've been aggravated for so long). But damn near all of pain is gone. TOTAL LIFESAVER!!! there were days when It was hard to walk, sleep, sit, lay down...and times when the muscles were spasming so bad, it felt like I had appendicitis. Thank god I found your video!
I really like how you get into things fairly quickly... so many videos make you listen to a long explanation before they get into what you are supposed to do to elevate and that becomes irritating pretty quickly if you are already in pain LOL... these exercises are great and I feel immediate relief. Some I certainly will incorporate daily!!
After two years going to chiropractors and looking for solutions finally my pain is gone. Thank you so much for this video, exercise with the kick is the one that make me pain free. I feel little pain in the morning but soon as i am done with exercise all day it’s amazing and I am doing just ones per day. Feels amazing without this stiffness. Thank you so much
This is really encouraging I've had SIJ pain for 6 months and wondered if I would recover fully as it seems like I've slowly made myself worse. Thank you for sharing😊
You are honestly a life saver!!!! I am 27 and have had low back problems for 11 years. 3 bulging discs, I’ve had multiple injections and currently have SI joint pain. Still seeing my pain management doctor regularly but I’ve been been watching your videos for a couple of weeks and honestly this has made such a big difference! Thank you! 💙
Just wanted to say thank you for this video. I’ve come back to it many times when I’m flared up and it really does seem to help. I’ve had chronic back pain for my whole adult life and in almost 15 years of physio and drs appointments, no one has shown me easy exercises like these that actually help right away.
I dont know what I did to myself. I'm 69, and suffer from severe medial knee osteoarthritis in both knees. I will need TKR to both knees eventually so I am trying to get in the best shape of my life. I have a personal trainer and have gone to a gym 4 days a week for an hour a day for the last year and a half. It has made quite a difference. Unfortunately I did something to my SI joint on the left side. It was starting to get depressing after a few days so I looked at this video and used the belt and ball "shotgun techniques". I did 2 sets 24 reps of pelvic tilts followed by 3 sets of 5 belt exercises and 3 sets of 5 ball exercises. I didnt hear a pop, but hours later I now realize.....the pain is totally gone! Thank you so much. Dr. Jo!
INSTANT RELIEF!! my left SI joint slipped out today after gardening, painting,and vaccuming (stupid, I know). Ty so so much! These videos truly helped me in the pandemic. I love them and the dog! Xo
I'm very appreciative of this video and your hamstring stretch! I give you credit for eliminating 99% of my SI joint pain and sciatica in just 2 days! It was very uncomfortable to do the stretch but I knew that meant it was working. I'm so happy. Thank you.
I felt the pop! I felt the pop! And the relief was immediate! I felt it on the "pushing outward against the strap around the knees" exercise. Glorious. Thank you!
Hi Dr. Jo, I am a new subscriber. I wish I could have viewed this video sooner. I have suffered from lower back pain for years. I first injured my back many years (35y) ago prepping for a powerlifting competition, while squatting I attempted to break my all-time best (which I did) and when re-racking the weight my left hip flexed and I instantly felt pain and that's where it all began. I am 71 now and have dealt with this for 35 years, I have seen four different Chiropractors, done physical therapy, spinal decompression, and massage therapy all this time thinking or was told it is a pinched sciatic nerve and the funny thing is with all the ex-rays, not one professional ever mentioned the SI joint. Just in the past month or so, I discovered the SI joint topic. I tried some of the self-diagnoses recommendations found here on RUclips and sure enough, they all suggest an SI joint problem. I have just now spent several minutes trying your exercises and low and behold the last thing I did was to hold my thumb with pressure on the SI joint for several counts (6) six times. Oh, what a relief it is. I intend on seeing an orthopedic surgeon and discuss this and maybe just maybe finally after all these years get some real relief. Thank you, Dr. Jo,
Thanks for subscribing. Sorry to hear you had pain for so long without help. I am always surprised at how often SI joint dysfunction is overlooked with back pain. It's usually the first thing I will assess on someone with back issues. I hope you continue to get relief and recover soon!
I cried after the relief I got in my SI joint on my left side after doing these exercises just once! Thank you sooooooooooo sooo much!!! 🥲 I had pain for a month or longer that wasn't getting any better, and I don't have coverage to go see a physiotherapist. You are a godsend!! ❤️❤️❤️
Excellent for strengthening the joint. An easy to follow series of exercises. I started doing these following the self adjustment technique in the other video which clicked my joint back into place. Amazing results. These videos are fantastic
Thank you I have been suffering from SI joint issues for 25 years or more! It flared up bad 4 weeks ago! It amazes me how doctors just don’t know what to do with this common issue. Orthopedic and pain management only want to give masking pain shots! This time I could actually feel the joint out! I do do some of the things you recommend already but I did learned something new! The donkey kick! LoL. Thanks for posting
Thank you Dr JO. I have been having a right si joint pain for 2 years yesterday I decided to searh on youtube so I found your exercises after doing it the pain was gone. Thank you very much and God bless you.
Thank you Doctor Jo. I've been having the consistent pain at my SI joint for a week now. It first started at my left side then it radiated to both sides. Was using the pressure ball to relief the pain but now that area is super sore. Was hard to work while dealing with the persistent pain. I'm glad I took a break to check out your video for the stretches. And it's relieved the pain for now (didn't do all the stretches though but I already feel relieved). Need to do more of these stretches later in the day. Thank you so much for this video
Thank you for all of these, but especially the side movement, which appears to have clicked my SI joint back into place after years of nagging discomfort.
Thank you sooo much! You helped me tremendously in the past couple of months when I couldn’t see my chiropractor or PT. I’ve had ongoing problems with SI joint painful years.What a relief to find you! I do your exercises 3-4 times a week and my pain has decreased tremendously. I also do your other joint pain relief exercises. Thanks again.
Cannot wait to try this ,I have suffered with pain for a year , and been to told sacroiliac joint , but never been shown these to do . I am praying they help me as on constant pain killers xx
Woah. This is life changing stuff right here dr. Thank you so much I feel like I should be paying for this. God bless you for just putting this on RUclips
Thank you so much Dr. Jo, not only love your helpful exercises and informative explanation, but also your positive energy. I have had back pain for almost 2.5 years and did not know why, and after doing your exercise I feel the extreme relief for the first time. I have tried different treating methods before and nothing worked. Wish you the best
You rock Dr. Jo . I appreciate your advice more and more as my back heals from the pinched nerves I had been suffering from for years by listening, flexing and paying attention to the troubled areas in my lower extremities I learned were from my spine being stuck in certain positions by trial and error. I also paid attention to the fact certain practitioners were saying that the spine gets nutrients by moving and flexing and stretching and can heal and was designed to heal by movement since no major arteries or blood vessels go to the spine. Surgery should be the last resort, after flexing stretching, awareness, and exercising not the first option. Even good worthy caring doctors are beginning to send their patients to licensed physical therapists, and mechanical chiropractors, before they send them to surgeons. Thank you Dr Jo for just being you and caring.
@@AskDoctorJo Thank you for all the support and work you do to educate us on the mechanics, and healing ability of our bodies with exercise and flexibility training without praying or buying into the superstition involved in Religious mythological Yoga. We do not need a belief to heal . It really is an honor to be able to help you in my own small way Doctor Jo.
That was relieving. It did a little pop also. I definitely need to stretch my hip flexors more often. I did a kettlebell workout 2 months ago and I still have the pain from that blockage. Even in the groin. Very bad.
I have SI joint dysfunction and my ortho sent me to 3 different physical therapists, none of them gave me any SI joint exercises or any hope for relief. Thank you for sharing.
So, I had no idea that i'd have this reaction but before the stretches were finished I felt GREAT! This is after many days of not being able to sit, bend over etc. It's not that i'm a sceptic, but I underestimated the effect this would have so THANK YOU!!! I can now function and I will do these regularly from now on!
Thank you - my PT recommended you and your videos... and I appreciate your professional approach, great communication, and your sense of fun! Altogether, it does help on any sore or good day. [Thank you too Spider!]
THANK YOU!!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! These stretched really helped me this morning. The pain I feel is really debilitating to the point that i cannot sit for more than 2-3 minutes at a time. It effects my work and social life so finding some relief is lifechanging for me. Thanks again.
Thank you so much! I was doing so good the past couple months because of my PT but then I sneezed really hard last week and I majorly flared up. Doing this vid is the most pain-relieved I've felt in a week. My usual stretches weren't helping much.
This video is a jewel!! After an awkward move while dancing I was unable to even walk without pain. All my lower back was blocked and I thought it was a disc herniation of my lumbar region. After one day of heavy medication I realized it was not the lumbars but the sacroiliac and then I found this video. Like magic, after performing some of these excercise I could walk again without pain, on more night of rest and next morning after second repetition of the routine I was just fine. Amazing how our bones work like a machine. Thank you so much for this video!
🌹🌹Dr Jo, thank you so much for ALL of your videos. They really have helped me with Ankle pain, sciatic pain, knees etc! Now my wife is watching your vids! Luv you!🌹🌹 Thanks!!!😊😊
I was in -agony- for almost two weeks; to the point I was having trouble even frickin' standing. Did your stretches + corkscrew for 45 minutes. -Problem went away within the next 3-4 hours. Boom! TYSM Dr. Jo!!!!
Dr Jo, really appreciate the video. You explain it with so much ease it's very patient friendly. And of course the stretches were targeted to the spot. Loved it !!! Please keep me in the loop for your videos and any materials.
For the last 6 years or so, i have struggled with SI joint pain. i have gone to orthopedists, i have gone to pain management specialists, i have done SI joint injections, i had surgery, did PT multiple times, to no avail. in that time i had gone from it impacting me some, to in May of this year it impacting me such that part of the time i couldn't walk around the block. two days ago, i searched youtube again for SI joint pain videos. i do it often hoping for relief. any relief. and this time, i happened on this video. i did 3 exercises, and only sort of, but in particular i did the first exercise (sort of) i can't lay on the floor i did it in my chair. pushing down with my hands on the knee of the effected side, and pushing up with my knee. the results are truly bizarre. i have now had the first 3 pain free days in years. so i recommend it. because no pain is amazing.
I just tried these. My SI joint hurt the other day when I twisted in an odd way. I had tried a few moves but the pain was still there. Thanks for you help, I immediately go relief and this morning my pain is totally gone.
Hi Dr joe I love your exercises for stretching When ever I have any pain, Dr Joe is my help 😄😄 I just do the different exercises for different body pain n I feel so much better Thank you be safe
Thank you so much for this. I suffer from SI joint pain on my left side, have for a few years now. In these quarantine times I haven't been able to get any hands-on help and working from home - sitting in front of my laptop! - I've been suffering a lot. My Fitbit reminds me to get up hourly to walk, stretch and now I'll be incorporating your exercises into my hourly movements. Thanks from a Subscriber! :)
Your demonstration is totally scientific and it is really really appreciable that you don't promise any instant result as they are seriously dangerous at times. Being a teacher of bioscience I do thank you for posting such elaborate demonstration. I already am having my knee pains lowered following your knee pain reducing videos. Best wishes. Regards.
I’m months pregnant and haven’t been able to walk since week 4 of the pregnancy… it’s gotten unbearable. This didn’t erase it entirely but has helped greatly. I believe if I do these every day it will totally relieve my pain. Thank you!
Im 31, healthy, I have inflammation in my SI joint, pretty severely, been in pain for the past year. Which of your video's would help me the most? Thank you so much!
What do you call the exercise that you demonstrated laying on the side? Also, in this same exercise, are you using your thumb to push on the SI joint or something else. What is this exercise doing for the SI joint? Thanks for the help, it was a great video!
You're welcome. The pillow is called the Womfy and is available on Amazon, but it looks like it's out of stock at the moment. Here's the link so you can check back later: amzn.to/2OE88Hy (affiliate link)
Importantly, don’t lose hope - took me 2 years to understand and implement these excercises an stretches for my stuck SI joint. Suggesting Also look for strengt differences in the hip flex muscles.
Bless you,did that first exercise,was i sure about what kind or SI joint pain it was ?No. But i was desperate because my pain couldn't have gotten worse than what i was feeling. But doing these made it feel so much better,it hasn't completely gone away . But it's dull.
Are the stretches also useful for issues with hypermobility based SI issues or should we be avoiding the stretches to avoid making those hypermobility issues (in general and SI worse).
Thank you, just ran through all these and felt a nice pop I that joint.. have been having a lot of issues I belive stemmed from this joint and just figuring it out! Wish I could be your patient
Hello. I am wondering if I would do all these stretches back to back everyday or take a break in between? Also should I be doing these stretches while my joints are all inflamed and sore?
Omg I’ve had really bad pain for 3 days now I’ve been doing soooo many exercises gosh! When I did the pushing in the SI joint and lift leg up and rotate back down... I felt a pop and I felt like it was tight and felt tingly I get a pop so I hope it went back into place :( thank u sooo much!
I did these exercises for one of my clients in consultation with a physical medicine specialist and the pain in the SI joint was completely eliminated. Doctor Jo, you're great Amir Eshraghi phd of Physical Education and Sport Sciences
Oh Dr. Jo, thank you. I didn't hear a pop but the paints definitely shifted. Like the person commenting below, I think it was the kick one. You have no idea how much I spend on physiotherapy getting IMS to treat that pelvic SI pain. Hopefully I can keep tat bay but after one try at these, so much relief.

That was relieving. It did a little pop also. I definitely need to stretch my hip flexors more often. I did a kettlebell workout 2 months ago and I still have the pain from that blockage. Even in the groin. Very bad.
Great video. I didn’t hear any cracking but my right side clunked back into place. Thank you so much 🥰
Thanks, and you're welcome.
I have SI joint dysfunction and my ortho sent me to 3 different physical therapists, none of them gave me any SI joint exercises or any hope for relief. Thank you for sharing.
You're welcome. I hope they help.
I did the first exercise and got immediate relief... amazing how simple things fix huge problems.
Glad it helped.
Ok. I’ll check with pt after my treatment is complete next month. Right now, I’m limited to no impact stretching exercises.
So, I had no idea that i'd have this reaction but before the stretches were finished I felt GREAT! This is after many days of not being able to sit, bend over etc. It's not that i'm a sceptic, but I underestimated the effect this would have so THANK YOU!!! I can now function and I will do these regularly from now on!
You're welcome!
Thank you - my PT recommended you and your videos... and I appreciate your professional approach, great communication, and your sense of fun! Altogether, it does help on any sore or good day. [Thank you too Spider!]
You're welcome, and thanks! 🐾
Thank you for your help with relieving the pain I've been experiencing in my SI joint ❤
You're welcome.
THANK YOU!!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! These stretched really helped me this morning. The pain I feel is really debilitating to the point that i cannot sit for more than 2-3 minutes at a time. It effects my work and social life so finding some relief is lifechanging for me. Thanks again.
You're welcome!
Thank you so much! I was doing so good the past couple months because of my PT but then I sneezed really hard last week and I majorly flared up. Doing this vid is the most pain-relieved I've felt in a week. My usual stretches weren't helping much.
You're welcome!
This video is a jewel!! After an awkward move while dancing I was unable to even walk without pain. All my lower back was blocked and I thought it was a disc herniation of my lumbar region. After one day of heavy medication I realized it was not the lumbars but the sacroiliac and then I found this video. Like magic, after performing some of these excercise I could walk again without pain, on more night of rest and next morning after second repetition of the routine I was just fine. Amazing how our bones work like a machine. Thank you so much for this video!
You're welcome! I'm glad it helped.
🌹🌹Dr Jo, thank you so much for ALL of your videos. They really have helped me with Ankle pain, sciatic pain, knees etc! Now my wife is watching your vids! Luv you!🌹🌹 Thanks!!!😊😊
You're welcome! I'm glad they have helped.
Is it necessary to know my side-of-misalignment before trying the “shotgun” techniques?
Thankyou helps instantly
Great to do in this lockdown instead of suffering for long
You're welcome.
This has worked amazing with my SI pain , thank you so much 💖 👏
You're welcome!
I was in -agony- for almost two weeks; to the point I was having trouble even frickin' standing.
Did your stretches + corkscrew for 45 minutes.
-Problem went away within the next 3-4 hours.
Boom!
TYSM Dr. Jo!!!!
You're welcome, and thank you for your support!
Dr Jo, really appreciate the video. You explain it with so much ease it's very patient friendly. And of course the stretches were targeted to the spot.
Loved it !!! Please keep me in the loop for your videos and any materials.
You're welcome, and thanks.
For the last 6 years or so, i have struggled with SI joint pain. i have gone to orthopedists, i have gone to pain management specialists, i have done SI joint injections, i had surgery, did PT multiple times, to no avail. in that time i had gone from it impacting me some, to in May of this year it impacting me such that part of the time i couldn't walk around the block.
two days ago, i searched youtube again for SI joint pain videos. i do it often hoping for relief. any relief. and this time, i happened on this video.
i did 3 exercises, and only sort of, but in particular i did the first exercise (sort of) i can't lay on the floor i did it in my chair. pushing down with my hands on the knee of the effected side, and pushing up with my knee.
the results are truly bizarre. i have now had the first 3 pain free days in years. so i recommend it. because no pain is amazing.
Glad it's helping.
@@AskDoctorJo thank you!
I just tried these. My SI joint hurt the other day when I twisted in an odd way. I had tried a few moves but the pain was still there. Thanks for you help, I immediately go relief and this morning my pain is totally gone.
You're welcome.
Thank you so much, this really helped, made my day happy
You're welcome!
Hi Dr joe
I love your exercises for stretching
When ever I have any pain, Dr Joe is my help 😄😄
I just do the different exercises for different body pain n I feel so much better
Thank you be safe
You're welcome, and thanks.
These exercises immediately caused a big relief! Not 100% but it worked really well.
The back kick worked for me, thank you
You're welcome.
You are a wizard lady! I could barely move this morning, it still hurts but I can walk pretty normal after the streches. THANK YOU
You're welcome.
Thank you so much for this. I suffer from SI joint pain on my left side, have for a few years now. In these quarantine times I haven't been able to get any hands-on help and working from home - sitting in front of my laptop! - I've been suffering a lot. My Fitbit reminds me to get up hourly to walk, stretch and now I'll be incorporating your exercises into my hourly movements. Thanks from a Subscriber! :)
You're welcome, and thanks for subscribing!
Me too on left side did they pain was like you had a bruise ?
Thank you so much, this helped significantly! So greatly appreciated!
You're welcome!
Your demonstration is totally scientific and it is really really appreciable that you don't promise any instant result as they are seriously dangerous at times. Being a teacher of bioscience I do thank you for posting such elaborate demonstration. I already am having my knee pains lowered following your knee pain reducing videos. Best wishes. Regards.
Thanks! Best wishes to you too.
Thaannk you for treating me doc you cured my vertigo in the past thank you
You're welcome.
Thank you so much for helping my tennis elbow pain, the excersise works really well 👍
You're welcome.
I’m months pregnant and haven’t been able to walk since week 4 of the pregnancy… it’s gotten unbearable. This didn’t erase it entirely but has helped greatly. I believe if I do these every day it will totally relieve my pain. Thank you!
You're welcome!
Im 31, healthy, I have inflammation in my SI joint, pretty severely, been in pain for the past year. Which of your video's would help me the most? Thank you so much!
What do you call the exercise that you demonstrated laying on the side? Also, in this same exercise, are you using your thumb to push on the SI joint or something else. What is this exercise doing for the SI joint? Thanks for the help, it was a great video!
Flossing the glute med
Just what I needed today!
Thank you for that answer De. Jo. I will use one of those now. That will be easy to use. Faith
I did #6 really well. Thank you for the options and info.
You're welcome.
Omg! You’ve absolutely made my day !! I can’t wait to try ALL your exercises!!! I can’t wait to watch all your other body saving videos too ❤️❤️❤️
These worked for me! Thanks a LOT!!
You're welcome!
Starting these exercises now, thanks. Let me know where I can get that nice exercise pillow!
You're welcome. The pillow is called the Womfy and is available on Amazon, but it looks like it's out of stock at the moment. Here's the link so you can check back later: amzn.to/2OE88Hy (affiliate link)
AskDoctorJo sadly, the company that makes them has gone out of business. Can you please recommend something similar?
can't get to chiro till next week, this has helped a lot, thanks
You're welcome.
Wow that was great. I felt a pop doing the hamstring stretch.
Importantly, don’t lose hope - took me 2 years to understand and implement these excercises an stretches for my stuck SI joint. Suggesting Also look for strengt differences in the hip flex muscles.
These were great. I feel better after this session already. Thank you.
You're welcome.
Thank you! I hurt myself Back squatting no pain was bad but ran through your program and I feel so much better so again thank you.
You're welcome! Glad it helped.
Bless you,did that first exercise,was i sure about what kind or SI joint pain it was ?No.
But i was desperate because my pain couldn't have gotten worse than what i was feeling.
But doing these made it feel so much better,it hasn't completely gone away .
But it's dull.
Glad it's helping.
This exercises are great for streching ...thanks jo
You're welcome.
Are the stretches also useful for issues with hypermobility based SI issues or should we be avoiding the stretches to avoid making those hypermobility issues (in general and SI worse).
Yeah I’m wondering the same exact thing
I have E.D.S.type 3 hypermobility is this good gor me? Thankyou
Thank you, just ran through all these and felt a nice pop I that joint.. have been having a lot of issues I belive stemmed from this joint and just figuring it out! Wish I could be your patient
You're welcome.
Hello. I am wondering if I would do all these stretches back to back everyday or take a break in between? Also should I be doing these stretches while my joints are all inflamed and sore?
Omg I’ve had really bad pain for 3 days now I’ve been doing soooo many exercises gosh! When I did the pushing in the SI joint and lift leg up and rotate back down... I felt a pop and I felt like it was tight and felt tingly I get a pop so I hope it went back into place :( thank u sooo much!
You're welcome!
does the pop hurt
Did they pain look like you had a bruise?
Thank you for the stretches they really helped a lot!
You're welcome!
I did these exercises for one of my clients in consultation with a physical medicine specialist and the pain in the SI joint was completely eliminated.
Doctor Jo, you're great

Thanks! I'm glad it helped.
Oh Dr. Jo, thank you. I didn't hear a pop but the paints definitely shifted. Like the person commenting below, I think it was the kick one. You have no idea how much I spend on physiotherapy getting IMS to treat that pelvic SI pain. Hopefully I can keep tat bay but after one try at these, so much relief.
You're welcome.
Please!! Can you tell me? How many days it takes to show results and erase the pain totally? please reply Ma'am
