I’m 17 and have had severe SI joint pain for about six months. The pain was severe enough for a few months that I could not walk and was having muscle spasms. I went to PT for a few months but my exercises were irritating and hurt my joint more. I’m excited to try these and hopefully feel better with them!
How’s it going?
Thank you! The older I get, little things keep popping up(that I need to fix)
I appreciate the positive attitude and the information 💗
I couldn’t find a tall stool so I used the stairs in my house for the one stretch. I stretched both sides. After the stretch I walked up the stairs and It was the first time in many months I didn’t have significant pain walking up the steps. It brings a tear (of relief) to my eye. Thank you.
I have been in terrible pain for years now. I found you on RUclips. I have fibromyalgia, 9 bulging disks, Arthritis in my right hip and my S.I. joints. I can't sleep, sit or walk without a lot of pain. I am going to try these exercises. I really wish I could win one of these mattresses because I am a senior citizen and I don't have money to buy one. M6 mattress is old and has springs in it that are all sticking up in different heights. Thank you for helping people. Please, don't stop!!
I had been treating the symptoms separately until I saw this video and wondered why nothing worked...l tried these and they worked immediately!!! Love the way you two compare notes!!! Thank you so much for all you do for everyone...had no idea you could fix all these things:)!!!
THANK YOU GUYS SOOOO MUCH. I have been living with so much of discomfort. Today was the 1st day in months I've had Relief. U have no idea how excited I am about it. Thank you , thank you , thank you
I am an orthopedic PA and I think that this is one of the least or mis diagnosed problems. It is often called LBP or sciatica or lumbar nerve root irritation. I Maybe I am just more aware of it since I too experience flare ups. Hopefully in increasing awareness, we can get people feeling better without narcs and or steroids. Thank you!!!
I was misdiagnosed with all these issues and my si joint pain became chronic
Definitely, neither generalists, osteopaths, rhumatologues or most chiropracters have no idea how to deal with this for long term relief.
@@TK-ni3qe PT is useless.
@@TK-ni3qe and I am saying that after numerous injuries and just coming out of the mould bad physiotherapists have NEVER ever helped me. I help myself. I spent 11 days with a subluxed arm.... during which time I saw 5 different doctors and a physiotherapist. It was the last generalist who quickly diagnosed and then fixed my arm. I did nothing special after, never a problem after. I swim.
@@TK-ni3qe you can strengthen ligaments and tendons with resistance and weight training. Just takes longer than muscles and theyre more prone to injury
You guys are so generous and amazing. A year ago I found your videos and you helped me diagnose my pain issue by educating on piriformis syndrome. With your exercises/ treatment I was pain free in two weeks!!!! After having suffered for three months, I cannot thank you enough. Keep up the great work .
Theyre making bank off youtube. Nit that generous we should be thanking yt lol
I developed this problem after a couple years working as a gardener, spending all day crouching on my left leg while doing repetitive weeding with my right hand. These stretches have helped me a LOT plus I'm not paying more attention to my posture and body mechanics while working :)
Love you guys! Si joint has been a problem for me for 7 years. You guys have been helping me deal with it. A 1,000 thanks for posting.
It has gone or we have to live with this pain whole life?😢
Wow, years of off and on physical therapy for "hip pain" as it would flare up & exercises that sometimes seemed to aggravate /cause more pain - - - then two leg hugging stretches in and all the intense pain I've had for the last two days is suddenly gone. THANK YOU!
I love you guys! I'd totally make an appointment if I lived nearby. I've tried everything (including some other videos of yours) and nothing would relieve my hip joint pain. And you just saved me. You helped this young lady all the way back to ARGENTINA. THANK YOU times a million.
RELIEF after an injury in February!! I’m indebted to you guys between this and my sleepovation bed. Learn so much watching you. Thank you!
Thank you! I am suffering so much right now and it took me to my 4th doctor before I got any help. My life has gone from a functioning 33 year old to a disabled 34 yr old bc yea it’s taken over a year to get proper treatment. I am praying I make it to my next appointment.
I suffer from SI when doing squats and it's been bothering me for a full week, i have faith in you guys! Thanks :3
Wow, congrats to you guys for saying lie instead of lay. You made all those English teachers out there happy in addition to curing their sacroiliac pain. 🙂👍
He could have corrected him off-camera. But he is the boss, what can you do.
they said lay in another video haha
@@peelyb Yeah, old habits are hard to break.
@@lilitincher4973 kind of a joke too lol
Im so happy youre not my mother.
This is the first time doing this and after doing these exercises, I stretched the right hip (problem side) by laying down, left leg straight out, right leg straight up in air with strap around foot, I held the strap with right hand and slowly lowered the leg across the body toward left side as far as I could until felt the hip stretch, keeping right shoulder on ground, held for 10-15 seconds. Slowly came up.
Then I put right ankle on left thigh, right knee out to side, slightly held knee down with one hand and this is when I felt my SI joint go back into place!!!! I’m so happy right now.
I injured myself doing a single leg jump rope exercise. My symptoms are exactly what you described. Thanks for the video…I’ll try these exercises.
OMG, I'm 68 years old and just now have understood my lifetime of pain. I always knew it was something new when I first vacuumed after giving birth at age 20.. I had no idea it was because of birthing until now. I've sought help for it, but never had it diagnosed or addressed.
Me too! I just turned 69 and had SI with each of 3 pregnancies. It went away-dr said it was sciatica and would go away post pregnancy-and thankfully it did. In the last 5 yrs, however, it has little by little returned and lately has been especially debilitating. These exercises are surprisingly VERY helpful!
@@mamagee I'm 33 and not married and has sacroiliac pain but plz tell after marriage and in pregnancy is it cause more problem?
Can't thank you enough for this video. I feel better already! ❤️
I happened on an older video of you guys searching carpal tunnel and here, more recently, you posted about the good old SI joint. I am overdue injections into mine.
These guys are great..they have helped me numerous times...thank you gentlemen.
Best video yet for si problems!
You two are the best! Thank you so much!
I fell August 27, 2006 at work. Work sent me to quack Dr who kept sending me to other doctors. After 2 yrs and my tenth round of pt, my physical therapist did measurements and said my hip was out of alignment and he listened to all my symptoms water therapy help but work comp would only pay for 6 weeks. I got a new Dr & he diagnosed damage to my SI joint. Nothing has helped. I was given pain medication but that was taken away from me 3 years ago. I took the meds exactly how I was supposed to. I didn't have an addiction problem. I have this pain 14 years later. I am going to try all of these to see if I can get some relief.
I've had similar problems since 2005. I am lucky enough to be able to use a pain clinic but meds don't agree with me. Remedial massage is the best thing. And meditation on pain. But this channel is wonderful - I've already helped myself a lot.
@Question Everything unfortunately when dealing with work comp, they control what you can do and for how long. I went to pain management in 2011 for almost a year then was told no more. I went to a chiropractor started in 2008 3 times a week the got cut to twice a week, once a week to nothing. I can't afford to pay out of pocket. I'm on a shoestring budget as is. I have done everything except acupuncture. I would do that.
@@lindagray1809 I used to get massage when I went to the chiropractor. Believe me, through the years I have done everything possible. When I have been sent to be examined by work comp doctors the results have all be only thing to do now is manage the pain but they won't pay for anything. They deny my doctor's request for everything. I am hoping for some relief from this video.
Look up Lawrence Gold somatics. He might be one of a handful of humans who can help fix this for good
Look into,SI Joint fusion. Be sure you go to an expert on it. I have suffered from lower back pain for 15 years. The last 3 years the pain would bring me to the floor and tears. I finally saw my Neuro Surgeon, I was ready to get my lumbar fused. He said he wasn’t convinced my pain was coming from my back. He sent me for an SI Joint Injection where they numb it for a few hours. Man! I felt NO pain! That confirmed his diagnosis. I am going for the SI I Fusion on 12-12. I can’t wait!
You have described my pain that has been going on for about 3 months. Thank you. I now know what has gone wrong. I will try these excercises. I feel like I will be able to walk
I’m so glad I found these videos! I was diagnosed with inflammation in both my S1& S2 joints, among other back issues. I can’t walk for very long before it goes numb and my legs won’t go anymore. I hope to get some relief from your videos 🙏🏻
Sounds like axial or ankylosing spondylitis
Well, I was told sciatica. I tried these and walked like I had nothing wrong immediately after. Also did have a fall like you described sooooo. I will continue with this for sure.
I thought sciatica for a few years but it didn't go past the knee.
Thank you for sharing this it helped immensely.
Thank you so much. I think that I had an SI joint issue. You confirmed my diagnosis.
These dudes are awesomely entertaining! the pain relief is really just a bonus. They should teach other things just for the entertainment value! And I agree yall are the most famous on the net!
I am a newbie to your channel. well you both are a hoot! and I love you both. thank you. got a little SI pain that is "nerve wracking" lol....but more so mentally. I was actually beginning to think I had something wrong inside my body and was truly concerned. I know it will leave in time but I have things to do, people to see and places to go so you have helped tremendously. blessings to you.
Oh My Goodness .. I think this is EXACTLY what I need . I will be doing these exercises tomorrow 🤠 Wow Thank You A MILLION . I am in such a predicament with my sore hips I am taking Another day off work . I get to where I cannot walk .. so I know this will help
Been seeing a chiropractor and couldn't get in to see her this time round and to my surprise your very first exercise helps no end
I fell stepping down and having a slippery mat shot out from under me. Ouch! The pain went away thanks to my physical therapist but it came back a few days ago and I am going to try these stretches, Thank you!
1:22
I love these guys.
Awesome! Bob and Bred Rock!
Best PT hands down! I would recommend that you state the scrotum pain, where STI is not a possibility could be from the SI joint.
I've been having SI pains for the past year and I've had such tense muscles that even my regular stretches my dr. recommended didn't work. These different techniques gave me instant relief. Thank you so much!
Can you feel Groin pain . I have an SI joint and my iliopsoas muscle is in continuous spasm
@@shaheryarafsar180 not usually, mine radiates more to the lower back if anything.
I like how they tell us to stop if I have pain or continue if feels good
U know they care for people by this
Thanks guys
Great video. I appreciate your contributions. Your comments on causes to this problem were spot on for me. I slipped on some wooden stairs in college, landed on ,y tail-bone so hard that when I stood up I passed out and fell down a flight of stairs. Some 20 years later, I was running down a flight of stairs in the dark. I also had my head turned around talking to someone while running down the steps. I thought I was on the last step but in reality, I was about 4 steps from the bottom when I stepped down. Thinking I was on the bottom step. Instead, I was quite a ways up and had a significant drop that resulted in my landing with all my weight on my left foot. I broke both the outside bones in my ankle. It’s no wonder I have pains going down both legs to my knees. Was great listening to your video.
😱 Oh no...please be careful!! I fell on the side of my house a couple months ago and I have been an excruciating pain!! They can't seem to find out what's going on but the pain is there all the time. Good luck to you!!
I've suffered with SI pain since I was a child, and I'm 38 now and just now got answeres about why my pain is getting worse 🙃 this is going to help me sooooo much I am so happy to have found you 2!!!
I am having my SI Joint anesthetised today after my Pain Mgm Consultant diagnosed suspected SI dysfunction - after years of pain I feel like I could finally be getting somewhere as all the signs and symptoms you guys articulate over a few videos suggest the Consultant has hit the nail on its proverbial head. Thank you.
Thanks guys. I have been plagued with SI joint pain for years.
To be honest I have a story to tell.
15 years ago I landed on one of my hips of course I was much younger and I thought the pain would go away because I got able to walk without any relative pain so I guess you could say my mind and body play tricks on me but sadly and excruciatingly the pain reared itself up to the point of me being extra stupid acknowledging it and ignoring it at the same time because I will continue to play sports but as I continue to play the pain got worse.
I did not see a chiropractor I just thought it would go away miraculously.
Me being a bonehead thought that it came with age or something and while acknowledging the pain because it became sort of bearable.
One day I woke up in the most excruciating pain I have ever been in I was paralyzed if you want to call it I was unable to get out of the bed for about 3 hours I went to a medic that just gave me Ibuprofen with stomach blocker.
The pain at that particular juncture went away as well able to run miles in relatively good shape.
I have even been able to go to the gym and then work for me is heavy but for others light weight that being 405 lb.
But when researching where is what my fate is I thought it was my lower back but it is not because what you guys are talking about.
So I guess I will try you a message to get some relief thank you for posting.
I started working home due to covid and i always sit on one side and cross my legs. I never go to the doctor since im only 26, but my back/hip has been really bothering me.. i just tried using my balled fist and using my knuckles to where it has been hurrting in my lower back and it felt so good and does not hurt right now. Thank yall so much. Ill definitely be using the other techniques as well. Appreciate the info
Very timely for me, thanks guys!
I have had sacral iliac joint problem for 40 years and hundreds of chiropractic and other treatments. I use the massage gun lately and all of the tricks B&B suggest. Nothing lasts. However I have just watched a chiropractor RUclips who suggests using a Trochanter belt and I have one but worried about over using it as I know a lumbar belt overused can cause atrophy of the core muscles, a trochanter belt does not. So I am going to use it daily for up to 6-8 weeks as suggested for severe strain of the ligaments in this joint. (Brand name - Serola in USA). Normally should help after 2 weeks. When I have used it I have found it helpful. I will stop all yoga stretches and cycling as suggested as my current go to exercises and follow a set of specific exercises for the gluteus maxims muscle (clams, the bird, a neat head lift for core muscles and half (easy) side plank. Wish me luck!
Thank you so much for you advise in regard syndrome diagnosis I am Therapist and I have follow you for long time your advise have allowed me help to my families and patience, thank you 🙏
Ha! I have said for years, "I get aches and pains so that I can help more people". Empathy for my patients after having it myself! Thanks for this! Sent directly to my patients.
You’re welcome!
As an LMT, I say the same thing! All part of my "client empathy program." I share your videos frequently!
Have SI joint dysfunction ....very painful! Thanks for Exercises! They Do Help!
Look up Lawrence Gold somatics. He developed a great way to fix it
@@insaneweasel1 hey i looked it up, but i don't get his theory, can you please explain how it works? i really want to try it
That’s exactly where my pain is, going to go give these a try now
Great videos as always gentlemen. Many thanks from Liverpool, UK.
Thanks for this. I have this problem from ballet and gymnastics (and being 54, ). My Spine center/pain mgt doctor told me repeatedly that it was my hip, because he said hardly anybody has a problem with this joint, because isn't supposed to move. (hardly anybody except me, lol). Now he admits I have bursitis in both sides. After 5 or 6 sets of cortisone shots in that joint, Neurontin, Lyrica, etc, etc. and thousands of dollars, it still hurts. I am going to try these daily.
You guys saved me!!! Have had serious pain in the SI area for two weeks and FINALLY! Your exercises have helped the pain after just one night. Thank you thank you
You will know you have this jam up when the pain can't be easily relieved at home with any pain drugs. Nothing touched my pain, and it's blinding pain to boot. The first time my right SI joint got jammed up, it knocked my hip up out of place by a full inch or more. I couldn't sit, I couldn't stand, and I couldn't lay down to rest of sleep. I went about two weeks of this pain, some of it easing off as I was super careful with my movements all day long at work, before I started a stretch class at a physio studio. I got about 5 mins into the class I was crying. I couldn't explain what I was going through or how I got to that point, but I could point to where it hurt and every action the physiotherapist took to replicate the pain brought her to an SI joint situation. After a few sessions of warming up my leg and hip, she pulled my leg back out and it fell into the spot it should be, and like a light switch being turned off, the pain went away in a nanosecond. Instant relief. I have never felt that kind of relief in my life. It was like the pain was never there. I have others I've met over the years who have the same pain and I told them to get it looked into. They also got help and pain relief. More me, and others (esp women), it's the figure 4 sitting, tucking one ankle under our bum on a chair or couch, that does it for me every time. Now when I catch myself sitting this way for more than 5 mins, I know I will have pain the next day, and sure as poop, I do. But not like the first time. Now I know how to do deep squats, hip stretching, and plies to make it all good again.
Whew !!!! Back savers sooo glad I found you 💕💖💗
Thanks for the help, docs!
Thank you soooo much, I always have issues with my si
Bob and Brad, the two most famous... physical therapist... On the internet!!
This is working for me. Thank you
Awesome, just having the exact problem
Thank you both!!!❤
Thank you guys ❤️💕🙏🏻
Never get tired of your advice--never get tired of your videos.
I’ve been having pain since October,gone to a chiropractor, physical therapist, and now working with an orthopedic surgeon. I had an injection into my hip anterior as well as in my back for herniated disc L4 and five. No relief from either, and the next injection will be into my sacrum where I swear the problem is. I feel like I’m headed towards a hip replacement and not convinced that’s the problem. . Thank you for these exercises, I’ll continue to do them and see if they help before getting an injection. My SI is actually tender to the touch and it seem like the pain radiates from there.
i got the bob and brad gun and love it great quality
wow! its work for me! no pain, omg! im suffer pain for 4 days, im glad to watch these! thank you for these video! so helpfull!
That was really good. Very useful. Thanks
Great guys,thank you.,good informations for everybody..,have a good day.
I love how you explain everything i never had it told me like you guys simple and i get it nownonwondwr im in so much pain
I’ve had right si joint issues for years. Physical Therapists identified it, but MDs told me I was nuts. Now i have developed arthritis in that joint.
took me 6 Drs to find one who understood my SI Joint issue .. an SI Joint that moves beyond normal length and damages the connected ligaments. Try Regenerative Medicine to tighten those ligaments.
So glad to hear SI issues discussed here! TKS
Ive been having the same issue. Doctors dismiss my explanation and only give their own opinion
@@brenda1177 sorry you’re experiencing this.
This is exactly what I have been having problems with since last september 2020, I will try some of the exercises
Thank you so much....will try it all!
Thanks again guys!
I have those exact symptoms and that exact description of pain. Mine does go down the thigh. I have been suffering for 4 weeks after tripping down some steps. So I’m going to try these exercises
Nice Helping and Educational video
I have about 12 yrs now since my injury.
I still have pain and discomfort and appreciate your tips all the time.
Thanks guys 💜😌
Baub an' bradd, there's no one better!
Keep going 🤗 guys.Ty so much.
Thanks a million! These exercises work to manage my SI joint problems! P.S. The Vikings are terrible this year! They seem to have some great players but can't seem to get it together as a team. Must be the coaching.
Great advice thankyou guys.
They are a pair of goofballs, but they know their stuff and are willing to relay it. Love y'all.
hello Bob and Brad. Your song is so catchy i coudn't stop singing it all day yesterday. I finally took the plunge and ordered the massage gun. if it's not the si joint, it's the hamstring. or the side ribs or lower back. My friend bought one and doen'st use it but he's in taiwan so i can't borrow it as I'm in the UK. the pain is sometimes so bad it's like a knife in my back. so let''s hope it relieves my pain.
These are my "go to guys"!!! Love 'em
Yeah, Buddy❗
Me too! They crack me up too!
I catch myself singing the little intro all day... :)
Hi Bob and Brad,
I've been looking at getting a massage gun, love yours, but before buying, I have a question. Is there a model you would suggest works that has a longer arm to reach parts of your back? This is especially difficult reaching them when you're incredibly tight and hurting. Love you guys and I so appreciate all of your work and dedication ❤ Thank you.
Thanks a lot for the video!
SI joint dysfunction is different from SI joint pain. The best way to deal with that is through hanna somatic movement.
Thank you for this video - I’ve been watching because I have knee and as SI problems - May I make A suggestion that you do a quick review -At the end- of all the exercises that you showed your viewers, thank you so much 🙏💜
I had terrible pain for about 6 months...especially at night. Sometimes the only way to make it ease up was to crawl to the floor and go on my hands and knees until it dissipated...it was awful. Standing didn't bother me as much as sitting. My chiropractor was having difficulty fixing me up until he used the drop table the first time. The next time I went to see him, I asked him to use the drop table again in the same spot and I've never had a problem since!
Try the sacrum belt
@@presouz5, I will keep it in mind if the pain ever returns but I have been pain free for about 2 years now!!
You guys are great. One question please and thank you.
Is there a maximum amount of times we can do these stretches and massages for a day?
Sacroiliac joint pain cure mint
-5sec/3times a day, Foot on chair lunge
-5sec/3times a day Laying pull knee and push hand
-Squish stick between (on&under) thighs
-Once, Reset Squish fist with knees
-Roll squash ball on it
-Massage gun it
I hope this works I have horrible sciatica issues and a herniated disc! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for this Feeling less pain now
Hello Bob and Brad, I have spondylolisthesis grade I, is it okay for me to deadlift, squat, and press? If not, what good alternatives do you suggest? I'd highly appreciate a full video on this if it's not possible a written reply would suffice. Thanks in advance!
It's like you guys speak to my pain. I'm 38 and starting to have SI pain. No repetitive syndromes. I wonder if it's arthritic?? I saw a chiropractor once at a local outdoor festival and saw him for a demo, I really feel like my body has never been the same since. BAD I know.
"That's how we roll!" "That's right, Bob!" I love watching you guys, even though I usually don't have pain and I see my chiropractor regularly. There's an endearing neediness about the two of you. Thanks for all the education and preventative "medicine" or therapy!
Thank you for you explanation. I have got the SI joint diagnosed and inflammation in the ligament around. So it’s ok to massage on the SI joint?
Thank you for all your videos!
Sophia
Thanks for video it is very well done! One thing you may consider is the change background to darker color to contrast better against white bones. Bone structures are very difficult to visualize as it is. I like to see more detail to understand better. This will also aid those who have sensitive eyes. Brightness of the background is less comfortable for me also. It will also save electricity and give pleasing, better experience viewing of the video! Thanks
Some of this stuff is similar to what I've tried before, but it couldn't hurt to give it a try. I started having SI joint pain during my first pregnancy and it did not go away. During my second pregnancy my husband made me fall and damage both SI joints, then he carelessly yanked the leg that had twisted partly underneath me straight in an attempt to get me into a position from which he could help me stand, which made it much worse. There was basically no healing before I gave birth and afterwords I couldn't move my right leg at all for a couple days. For several months I had to pop my SI joints back into place after standing and I could not walk without assistance. The doctor assured me that it couldn't be my SI joints because they don't hardly move. So helpful. Even though I eventually saw improvement the last few years things went down hill again. I can choose to either walk the dog once around the block or do half a grocery shopping trip before I can't tolerate the pain anymore. It's been a little over 12 years of dealing SI joint pain, and I'm only 34. I can't imagine what it's going to be like as I get older if I can't improve things now.
I feel you 100%.... I am in excruciating pain 24/7... I went to a different chiropractor a couple years back and he accidentally pushed my L5 forward and now I have a bulging disc constantly pushing on my sciatic nerve, I also just recently learned I have osteitis pubis. The pain is so bad lots of times I just lay and cry!! 😭 I miss my life before the pain. I can only imagine what I'm going to be like as I get older. 😔
Thank you! 💟
