    Over the past 20 years I've found that the professional and institutional internet advice on sacroiliac pain and piriformis spasm, while confidently delivered, is hard to make sense of and (for me at least). doesn't seem to work. I mean no disrespect. I merely share my experience. There has to be a better, simpler way. (Here it is).
    If you take nothing else from the video, do single-legged squats daily! (10 on one side and 10 on the other). This is nature's way of resetting the joint so that the feelings of sprain pain and muscle spasm will be alleviated. Your posture and movement will now restore themselves with time. Walking up and down hills will help speed up the process.
    Exercise notes:
    The sequence starts with strength work (because nothing beats strength for looking after a grumpy joint). It then moves onto stretches performed with a thrust or glide that also pulls the SI joint into a happier configuration*. After the area is warmed up and the pain response is damped, self-massage, with the use of a wall and a ball, is more comfortable.
