I can’t get over it!! I have been living with this pain for too long. I was tipped off that I was having si joint pain. Found this video and number 3(didn’t even use the band) took the pain away immediately!!! And the fatigue and jello when I finished the exercise !! I can’t believe it. Can’t thank you enough
I have had that pain for a while, due to poor sitting position I think. It is the first time that I have done those, the massage on the ball was very nice I did not even suspect that particular area was also in pain. I feel better at the end of those exercises, not totally gone, but with the pain I was in, I can't expect a miracle. I will continue those exercises on regular bases to hopefully make the pain totally disappear but also for it not to come back. Thank you for your clear explanations. 2 days later: the pain is nearly almost gone, I only feel a hint of it on certain movement, this is bliss. Those exercises will now be part of my routine.
Wonderful exercises, pulled my SI joint 4 weeks ago, getting better each day, I was recommended these exercises, along with the cobra, butterfly stretch, 10 degree ham pulls, therapy ball excercises and riding a bike machine forward and backwards
my SI joint (added to that weak glutes and tight hammys) have made my SI joint pain build up over 5 years, with seeing lots of osteopaths. but none have given me SI exercises like yours. feel like it's definitely helping just after two days. thanks so much :)
I’m so glad to hear these have been helpful already. I can’t believe no one gave you exercises like these. That’s so frustrating for me as a rehabilitation practitioner to hear.
Giving the proper explanation also helps and encourages, ghank you! I have lived with 1 sided hip pain for soo long, had physios that didn't understand or give the obvious exercise relief. Poor training somewhere!@RehabScience
@diyashahani09 have u ruled out Sacriolitis problem?. DO Blood Test FOR HLAB27. If it's positive , then Rheumatologist will advise for MRI OF Sacrial Joint to check for Inflammation in that area. Medicine and exercise will help to control the problem.
I have been having chronic SI joint pain since last 2 years. This continued from the last trimester of pregnancy, had many treatment, but no completely resolved, I have new hopes after I see your video
Thank you so much for this video! I was in so much pain but after doing one set of these exercises I have felt so much relief! 80% improvement in my pain! Thank you!
After months of therapy, finally someone that makes sense. Just did my first sets and allready feeling some relief, also added in some no load squats, thanks and God bless.
I recently started Pilates: we do many of these stretches & exercises in class. I’m finding it is helping my SI / piriform a lot. Thanks for posting the video - means I can better remember how to do them at home!
Thanks so much for these stretching exercises. I got this pain after doing cobra pose in yoga. I literally was not able to move or bend, and I was having severe pain. I had ibuprofen to get relief from pain but didn't have much impact. Finally I tried these stretching and I can't thank you enough, I got immediate relief. It's gone fully but there is so much relief from severe pain. Thanks a lot
Thanks for this video. I have had mild SI joint pain for several years and most recently slipped while running and it has been bad. 🙈 I will definitely try these.
When you told “if you are a pregnant woman” I gasped, because that’s me! I can’t do deep twists and stretched doesn’t help that much, because currently I’m more soft and mobile. Also I feel overall more “loose” in my pelvic area, I do pregnant yoga/pilates, some mobility exercises. But recently I started to feel this one particular joint pain, first time ever in my life. I’m so glad you mentioned the case of us, desperate pregnant ladies with joint pain. Hope your exercises will help. Thank you ❤
Great advice! I started having bilateral SI pain 20 years ago. I had mild psoriasis, evidently SI pain is often a harbinger of more pathology to come. I've been wrestling with psoriatic arthritis for years now. I'll try to up my game with your exercises.
Did the exercises help? I’m not sure what my problem is. I get a sharp electric shock style pain across my lower back, about an inch above my illic crest on my left side of the spine. This pain is acute and will typically last a few days. During this time my lower back will fuse up and movements are difficult when flexion of the spine is activated. The pain often radiates into my left glute. At times it’ll feel like my spine is on the verge of snapping completely; a weakness so to speak. It also affects my bowel movements as passing can feel weak and painful. Then, like clockwork, my lower back releases gradually and the pain radiates into my groin area. Often about 1inch above and to the left of the base of my penis. This is a dull but painful ache that lasts for 2-3 days before gently easing. It’s a radiating pain, and at times (but not always) I’ll get a slight dull ache into the left testicle (like it’s being squeezed). I’ve seen multiple physios about it and they all say something different. I’m going to try these exercises and see if I can rebuild the strength in this joint and go from there. I should add, this pain is often brought on by strenuous lifts. I quit doing heavy squats and deadlifts because of this but being a farmer, naturally there are things that need to be lifted manually and it flares it off again. I’ve had it flare up 5 times already this year. Will need to sort it out.
@@sammylpt9076if it is radiating into the genital region it can be many different things effecting the nerves, either compressed nerve from around S2, these exercises should help that More worryingly it could be something called cauda equina, the fact yours is only unilateral, it is likely not that, but I would double check with your GP to rule that out
I must say that only this strengthening exercise helped me immediately. I tried all sorts of things before. I'm so happy because the pain was bad. This exercise was also really good. I have been very careful. It stabilizes enormously.
This was tremendously helpful. What I thought was low back pain I now realize is definitely SI pain. Looking forward to doing these exercises and getting some relief. Thank you!
For a year I have had pain and problems, told it was hip impingment,,, last few days my nerves in my legs from my back and groin pain was really bad… These exercises and tennis ball has helped immediately. I will get a ball.. my nerve pain has gone. Thankyou so helpful, I passed it to my Husband. 🌟👌🏼👍
@@RehabSciencedoc please do reply. I had herniated disc 6 months before ,my back pain is gone but this si joint pain on left side is not going away. Why?? Is it possible that my disc was herniated because of this si joint tightness?????? What can be the solution
From the exercises you demonstrated, it lookes like alot of glute exercises...if thats the case, we need to work on our glutes more. Helped me figure out what was my problem.
Good day.. just Googled a drop foot exercise for my boyfriend and then o continued watching a few more of your videos.. I really like your presentation and the way you show you viewers how the exercise is done with eaze... anyhooo, just want to say thank you and glad I subcribed.. because I am a long suffer of SI issues.. my boyfriend just had 2 hip replacement, and may need surgery for a torn rotator cuff.. plus due to lack of exercise he has also lost alot of muscle throughout his whole body... He has stage 4 Cancer , under treatment for Urothelial and is doing well. So he has a lot on his plate you would say... So he lost the drive to work on himself and he is seeing the end results of that as we speak because he refused to to any exercise.. I don't insist anymore because I can't imagine what he is going through as it is living with his cancer... its terminal 😢 and we are trying to manage it as we speak... So thank you for your videos and Maybe share some advice... on all these physical issues he has ..and how I can go about helping him... thanks again
Good afternoon Dr.! Thanks for putting this video up for all of your audience. Definitely provides me a lot of relief. Quick question, how often do you recommend doing these exercises? Like on a weekly basis what is the frequency?
No problem, I’m glad the video was helpful! I would recommend doing these every other day or about three times per week. This can be modified though if you notice an increase in pain (less days) or if everything feels great and you want to do them every day.
I didn't have a rubber band thing for the third exercise, so i used a bungee cord and it worked fine. Home Depot sells a rubber bungee now that has holes every 3 inches so its adjustable. Thats the one i used so would get a good fit.
Sooo helpful, thank you for putting this together. I hurt my back lifting + twisting open a heavy door in the ground years ago/felt a pop and recently reinjured doing weighted dumbbell squats/deadlifts, hoping to add this as rehab/prehab and eventually kick this injury for good. Not sure if it's an SI injury but it seems like a popped a ligament in that area and really want to get to a place where I feel confident lifting heavy again, so thank you again, I think these will really help and start me on the right track.
Thank you this is awesome I bought your book and am loving it thank you! Do you have any advice for compartment syndrome? I run n do strength. Running sometimes is v painful
Thank you for ordering my book! I’m so glad to hear that you are enjoying it so far. Exertional compartment syndrome, which is associated with exercise, can be challenging to treat. In rehab, we would mostly focus on using soft tissue mobilization/massage techniques to reduce discomfort in the painful muscle compartment. Then, strengthening exercises would be used to help improve the capacity of the muscles in the compartment, so that the issue is less likely to happen. However, even when all of these things are implemented, some people struggle quite a bit with this issue and end up having to reduce their exercise volume, so that the problem doesn’t occur as much.
I've been to 3 different physiothapists having perstistent lower back pain for over 3 weeks. None could relief me from the pain. The pain came from the very low back area, so I thougt it could be the SI Joint, but I couldn't determine which side. After watching this video, I tried the exersices and finally using a lacros ball in the shown area I was able to relief the pain! What a feeling!! I heard a low and slow pop sound, which might have come from the left SI joint. After 3 weeks of blockage it feels funky now being released but I'm so happy and pain free. Thank you so much for this video!!
Be careful not to go too high or do it for too long. I strained my neck trying to do these. They helped my SI joint pain temporarily, but now I've got another problem to deal with.
These exercises do provide some comfort when I do them. But the pain and discomfort comes back again after some time. This has been an ongoing process for me.
I like how the last 2 engage the glutes in both the abductor and adductor exercises: it saves a lot of time by not having to do multiple seperate hip bridge reps and sets too; it avoids unnessecary movement in rehab; it strengthens all the necessary muscles; and in a compound way, which after all, is more how the hip muscles function when in full health-they don't work in isolation. I'll be doing these from now on. 👍
Thanks for the video .... this knowledge is helpful.I have been struggling for years.... I have very severe arthritis in these joints and endure a lot of pain in my thighs and groin as well, You mentioned you have more information to read. How do I access those articles to read? Is it cortisone they use for the injections? Are there different types of medication that they use for the injections.
Glad the video was helpful. The link to the research article is in the text below this video. Yes, SI injections typically involve a steroid like cortisone on an anesthetic that removes pain.
A question please: I have been diagnosed with an inflammation in that joint and I am on medication now. Can I do these excercised while being on medication? Or should I wait until the inflammation is completed healed? Thanks in advance.
Thanks, had sciatica 1.5 years ago…one year ago I opt for surgery to remove a cyst, plus fuse of L4 L5…..over a year and still to bend to pick up something on the floor , put socks on is painful. Had the injections 6 weeks ago in the joint-- not much has change….if you can recommend someone to see in the Houston area, it would be awesome…thank you
Hi DR Tom. Amazing videos Thank you. A quick question, when I do the bridge exercise my right hamstring start to cramp up, Is there anything what I can do to avoid this happening. Richard
Thank you. I would try straightening your knees a few degrees during the bridge. Many people experience hamstring cramping this exercise, but if you straighten the knees a bit, the hamstrings will be less likely to cramp.
Thanks for getting to the point and good video. Yesterday I had to go to an emergency. In the morning I bent with something I usually lift like 12 to 15 pounds and got this pain on my back and could not stand up no more. Then it got super hard standing or squatting. They put me in an injection in the arm. The pain is gone for now. It has been almost 12 hours. But I am afraid it could come back. So I'm definitely looking to do these exercises.
Thank you for this video. The second excercise just hits the exact spot for me re the left side SI pain I have had for years now. How many times per day and for how / for how long ( 30 seconds each side?) would you recommend doing this excercise ? Thanks again, much appreciated. All the best from Scotland.
Muito obrigado. Esses exercícios são muito importantes. Deus abençoe sempre. Por esse prazer de passar esses exercícios com amor e carinho para muitos que precisam
I am also suffering from the same problem for the last two years in a very bad way. I always thought it was low back pain. I am a student of law, my studies are also disturbed due to this disease. Kindly recommend me any medicine or tube to get immediate relief 😮💨 As my exams have been started the pain has touched it's high peaks .
Thank you Doc. The ball and the rubber band really helped me get very good relief from the lower back and SI. Thank you so much for a very clear demonstration and related information. I liked your videos. God bless you Doc for helping so many thousands people suffering this terrible SI and LB pain.
You're welcome! These exercises are mainly for the acute stage of healing when pain is more severe. To progress, we would start adding marching bridges (hold bridge at top position and then lift one leg at a time while keeping core tight) and single-leg bridges.
Question: Do you still recommend someone with acute pain to do these or wait until the pain somewhat subsides before trying them? Thank you for the great video and your help. Mike
It really depends on how your body responds to these exercises. If you can perform them with mild or less discomfort, and they don’t cause your pain to flareup afterwards, then they can be started early in the healing process.
Good tips and exercises. Thanx. I have chronic R si joint dysfunction from diving into shallow end of pool and hitting the bottom with my arms. I hyperextended the R si joint. Have had dull ache pain for almost 50 years and at times when I extend legs back it becomes excruciating for a few days at a time. And I can't tilt my pelvis back at all. Also I just injured my left si joint while bent over and pulling something popped. Probably a torn sacral ligament. Very painful. Again can't tilt pelvis backwards. It's been 5 weeks and only a little better. Getting out of bed in the morning is a real bear. also have torn hip larbums with high grade chondosis. Had a hip injection and it went bad. Hit a nerve. Uhggg. Now can't even walk 50 ft without having to stop cause of pain in front hip. Would u recommend these strengthening exercises for me at this point ? Thanx
Sorry to hear about the pain you are experiencing. Yes, as long as you can do these exercises with mild or less pain, they should help reduce your symptoms and improve function. I do have a much more comprehensive low back pain and SI joint pain program in my book. The program guides your through three phases of rehab and has pictures of me doing all of the exercises. Here is an Amazon link for my book, if you want to learn more about it. a.co/d/8S3dz78

I like how the last 2 engage the glutes in both the abductor and adductor exercises: it saves a lot of time by not having to do multiple seperate hip bridge reps and sets too; it avoids unnessecary movement in rehab; it strengthens all the necessary muscles; and in a compound way, which after all, is more how the hip muscles function when in full health-they don't work in isolation. I'll be doing these from now on. 👍
Thanks for the video .... this knowledge is helpful.I have been struggling for years.... I have very severe arthritis in these joints and endure a lot of pain in my thighs and groin as well, You mentioned you have more information to read. How do I access those articles to read? Is it cortisone they use for the injections? Are there different types of medication that they use for the injections.
Glad the video was helpful. The link to the research article is in the text below this video. Yes, SI injections typically involve a steroid like cortisone on an anesthetic that removes pain.
Hi thank you for sharing.. feeling much better already just wondering how many times a week to perform these exercises?
A question please: I have been diagnosed with an inflammation in that joint and I am on medication now. Can I do these excercised while being on medication? Or should I wait until the inflammation is completed healed? Thanks in advance.
Thanks, had sciatica 1.5 years ago…one year ago I opt for surgery to remove a cyst, plus fuse of L4 L5…..over a year and still to bend to pick up something on the floor , put socks on is painful. Had the injections 6 weeks ago in the joint-- not much has change….if you can recommend someone to see in the Houston area, it would be awesome…thank you
Is it ok to do these exercises everyday? Thanks
Thanks Dear for such an amazing explanations. Can you please tell me for how many times a day we should do these exercises? Kind regards.
Thank you.
You’re welcome!
Hi DR Tom. Amazing videos Thank you. A quick question, when I do the bridge exercise my right hamstring start to cramp up, Is there anything what I can do to avoid this happening. Richard
Thank you. I would try straightening your knees a few degrees during the bridge. Many people experience hamstring cramping this exercise, but if you straighten the knees a bit, the hamstrings will be less likely to cramp.
Felt improvement right away and then back to the same SI joint pain after 2 weeks of doing exercises.
That’s great to hear!
I had said the pain only let up a brief time and then started back the same as before.
@@dwhitehead49how are you now?
Thanks for getting to the point and good video. Yesterday I had to go to an emergency. In the morning I bent with something I usually lift like 12 to 15 pounds and got this pain on my back and could not stand up no more. Then it got super hard standing or squatting. They put me in an injection in the arm. The pain is gone for now. It has been almost 12 hours. But I am afraid it could come back. So I'm definitely looking to do these exercises.
thank you
Welcome!
Thanks 🙏🏾
No problem!
Thank you for this video. The second excercise just hits the exact spot for me re the left side SI pain I have had for years now. How many times per day and for how / for how long ( 30 seconds each side?) would you recommend doing this excercise ? Thanks again, much appreciated. All the best from Scotland.
I’m so glad the video was helpful! For that second exercise, I would recommend holding for 10-20 seconds.
Great thanks again 👍
These definitely helped me thank you
Great to hear!
Muito obrigado.
Esses exercícios são muito importantes.
Deus abençoe sempre.
Por esse prazer de passar esses exercícios com amor e carinho para muitos que precisam
You’re welcome.
I am also suffering from the same problem for the last two years in a very bad way. I always thought it was low back pain. I am a student of law, my studies are also disturbed due to this disease. Kindly recommend me any medicine or tube to get immediate relief 😮💨 As my exams have been started the pain has touched it's high peaks .
Como você esta a tratar de sua dor? Eu estou farta de dor todos dias,estou desperada. Onde vose mora?. Eu em Lisboa
Exactement bravo M. Dr respecte for you 👍
Thank you!
4:44 how about you opinion on avoiding hip ER stretches..??
Thank u sir
You’re welcome!
Thank you Doc. The ball and the rubber band really helped me get very good relief from the lower back and SI. Thank you so much for a very clear demonstration and related information. I liked your videos. God bless you Doc for helping so many thousands people suffering this terrible SI and LB pain.
Thank you! Very useful. How about the progress? What to do next? For how long you recommend doing this set?
You're welcome! These exercises are mainly for the acute stage of healing when pain is more severe. To progress, we would start adding marching bridges (hold bridge at top position and then lift one leg at a time while keeping core tight) and single-leg bridges.
@@RehabScience thanks for the words! Would it be okay to reach out to you for more progression movements ?
Thank you!!!
Welcome!
Hey thanks for the video I'll give these a try.. How many times a day for these and do I do it every day?
No problem! These can be done every day as long as they don’t cause your pain to flare up. If that happens, then I would try them every other day.
Question: Do you still recommend someone with acute pain to do these or wait until the pain somewhat subsides before trying them? Thank you for the great video and your help. Mike
It really depends on how your body responds to these exercises. If you can perform them with mild or less discomfort, and they don’t cause your pain to flareup afterwards, then they can be started early in the healing process.
Thank You. Do you know any for paresthetica neuralgia?
I don’t have anything on this condition at the moment, but I’ll try to do a video on it soon.
Very useful!could you also suggest other si exercises?aThank you!!
Glad it was useful! You could also try the exercises in my gluteus medius and minimus strengthening video.
Merci
You’re welcome!
Good tips and exercises. Thanx.
I have chronic R si joint dysfunction from diving into shallow end of pool and hitting the bottom with my arms. I hyperextended the R si joint. Have had dull ache pain for almost 50 years and at times when I extend legs back it becomes excruciating for a few days at a time. And I can't tilt my pelvis back at all. Also I just injured my left si joint while bent over and pulling something popped. Probably a torn sacral ligament. Very painful. Again can't tilt pelvis backwards. It's been 5 weeks and only a little better. Getting out of bed in the morning is a real bear. also have torn hip larbums with high grade chondosis. Had a hip injection and it went bad. Hit a nerve. Uhggg. Now can't even walk 50 ft without having to stop cause of pain in front hip. Would u recommend these strengthening exercises for me at this point ? Thanx
Sorry to hear about the pain you are experiencing. Yes, as long as you can do these exercises with mild or less pain, they should help reduce your symptoms and improve function. I do have a much more comprehensive low back pain and SI joint pain program in my book. The program guides your through three phases of rehab and has pictures of me doing all of the exercises. Here is an Amazon link for my book, if you want to learn more about it. a.co/d/8S3dz78
