3 Self Adjustment Techniques for SI Joint Pain 

I popped so loud. I cried. Ive been looking to find something to help my SI joint. Ive been going to expensive doctors for years trying to find something that can help the pain. For the first time today I felt what it feels like to be pain free in my lower back. Thank you.

I have just discovered your video,I have been in considerable pain in my hips & legs 🦵 did the exercises twice and the pain is 90% gone,I am still in disbelief! Thank you Sir you have no idea how this has changed my life I am a very fit 79 year old God bless you!!

I didn’t feel the pop, but doing these isometric exercises fixed my SI joint pain completely! Was running with no issues the next day.

Dude you are my hero!!!! I have been having extreme pain in my right si joint and have been going to physical therapy for around 2 months with no help! As soon as I tried the first stretch I felt the pop you were talking about and had instant relief! I’m pretty sure my wife thought I was crazy the way I was yelling in excitement over the relief I felt! Thank you so much for putting this video up!

I've been hobbling around in pain for the last week, barely able to walk or function. The very first exercise and I'm back in business! THANK YOU!

This video is an answer to prayer! I’ve been suffering for hours and tried many different techniques and then I found this video and as soon as I did the center stretch, instant relief! I can’t thank you enough.

Holy shit this cured the SI pain I've been walking around with for years on the first day! You are a legend, sir!

I had an acute SI injury on Monday at jiu-jitsu. I could barely walk this morning without pain. I found this and I'm feeling so much better after a couple cycles of these exercises. Thank you!

I was laying in bed in agony unable to find a position to relieve the pain, and tried RU-vid out of desperation. I don’t even know if I did it fully but had instant relief after the first exercise! Still feeling good all day today. Thank you so much!

5 years since I struggle with my SI joint pain, you saved my life since the last three days i discovered your exercises. Thank you so much !!

this is great! I torqued my pelvis about 30 years ago and this is the first thing I've found that gives me, pretty much, instant relief.

This worked for me first time!! The noise when I was pushing my right knee to my shoulder sounded like press-studs popping open. I could not believe that the pain I had been suffering for more than 25 years suddenly disappeared. Thank you very, very much.

This is amazing how many people feel like you have been an answered prayer. I don't know that I have SI joint pain, but I do have lateral hip issues and I think my pelvis may be disaligned. I'm going to add these to my daily exercises. Ty for sharing, and it's inspiring here in the comment section :)

Perfect! It works. This was for my L1 joint, which had slipped, funnily during a workout! It clicked out as said, first time around. Thanks.

THANK YOU!!! I have tried numerous exercises/stretches for almost an entire year trying to get some relief. I felt the pop with the very first stretch you showed and (while still not completely pain free) what a difference! Thank you again!!!

I’m in tears , I’ve been pain free today all day long for the first time since my car accident in October 2016( rear ended on the right side) I’ve had pain on my right hip and SI. Ive Gad xrays, mri, no hernias,nothing structure wise, but suffered from pain all this time. I’ve been doing the exercises since Thursday and today is Monday. On Friday I made an appointment and went to a PT en the therapist massaged my lower back and my hip, front side very deep massage , uncomfortable but it is working, I pray I stay like this for a long time. Thank you thank you so much , for caring for health and pain! God bless you!!! I

I have been in pain for a week, sitting in a chair was painful, but it was much more painful transitioning from sitting to standing, so much pain. Tried the adjustments; its like a miracle, I can go from sitting to standing without much pain. Thank you very much.

Thank you thank you thank you! I have been dealing with SI pain on my right side for six months. Been to several doctors including chiropractic. Last night in desperation, I tried out your suggestions, felt a pop - no more pain! I can't believe it!!!

This changed my life. Thank you.

Oh my god, it is magical how well this worked. I did the first exercise and heard the click. My pain isn’t completely gone, but has subsided quite a bit. When I went to the doctor all they did was give me a muscle relaxer. Thank you so much!

Thank you very much for this video. You are an amazing person.

Wonderful the 3rd exercise worked on my left side. I felt the joint go back into place and it has stayed there ever since. I did this last year! Thank you so much. Carol

I’ve been struggling with lower back pain and SI joint pain for over a year. Pain more to the right side and in the buttock. I have hip shift when squatting which I presume is connected. I’ve done this a couple of times a day for two days now and the improvement is noticeable. I heard a massive crack with the first exercise and haven’t done the other two. Very impressed and I’m going to stick with it.

This is the first time I've actually heard and felt a pop. Amazing, thank you so much.

Hello, I just watched the video, I have not tried the exercise yet but can already tell these stretches are for me. Thank you for the upload!

For the past week my SI pain has gotten worse on my right side. I found your video here and did them right away. While I'm still in pain it's nothing like it was 5 minutes ago. This is definitely something I will be doing daily. Thank you for this!

Thank you so much!! So happy I watched this video! My SI joint has been causing pain for months. I felt the pop in my groin and felt relief on my lower back where the SI joint isssss

Dr. Madden, Firstly, you saved me from pain that I have been suffering the entire of last week. Thanks. I got into a mess while practicing an advanced yoga pose called the Vishwamithrasana. It kept hurting and I tried everything I knew from the counter poses etc but since my pain was in the joint and not a muscular one, I couldn’t figure out what to do to help. Thank you for existing and putting these viodeos out. This is the first video I have seen of you and I think I will be returning. The correction that helped with was the third one that you mentioned (which you said was controversial but had helped several at your clinic). It worked the very first time I tried it and I couldn’t believe it that I recovered from a week of horrible pain, during which I had to curtail my dialy yoga practice and endure pain during routine daily activities. Thank you. Thank you. My blessings to you. Keep up your good work. I wanted to let you know that teacher from South India just benefitted from you sharing your knowledge half way across the world. Magical. Regards, Gowrisha

I was just laying in my bed not beeing able to sleep, when I found your video. Thank you, it really flushed away the pain. :)

Most of this was taught to me at my physical therapist. Good refresher, thank you.

Oh. My. Goodness. Of all the self adjustments videos I have tried, this was the only one that resulted in any cracking and instant relief! I’ve had chronic SI joint pain/dysfunction for years and have needed monthly OMT treatments for years now. I’ve had an exacerbation with pain that has been waking me multiple times during the night when I roll over. I’m hoping this will offer me relief (and better sleep!) until I see my doc in 2 days! Thanks so much!!

Oh my gosh! My RH side lower back has been hurting for a few days and these adjustments helped sooo much. Thank you!

Absolutely amazed. Thank you so much. I dealt with pelvic pain for the last few days. Probably moved wrong at work(mechanical engineering) Today it was really painful so I was getting ready to go see a doctor tomorrow. Now after a hot shower and your advice it is almost back to normal. Feels WAAAY better. Thank you so much from Germany ! 🤗

This is amazing. Will keep coming back to this lesson. ♡♡

After just the first technique, I felt relief. Thanks so much!!

Dude you're amazing, thanks for sharing your knowledge

I can't believe it worked 🥺 I tried all exercises from the youtube results but only this video gave me some instant relief. Thank you for this! Will surely keep doing them, it's the second time I'm experiencing this pain.

Thank you so much for the information. I will definitely do these regularly.

You saved my Christmas vacation. Today is Dec 24th, I popped my SI joint snowboarding... Chiro and Physio are closed for the holidays. I did your self-adjustments and brought my back in place. I went from not moving to be able to move around and put on my boots by myself.

Although not all the videos help me. I really do enjoy watching. I do your DDD stretches. And I know it makes a big difference to my daily pain. Thank you...👍

This is so awesome! I have been in pain for 3 days and it went away completely after I did these exercises. Thank you so much!

Holy Moley Doc! This worked on me!!!! thank you very much. I have shared this with friends who have similar issues. They love you too!

Thank so much ! The first stretch brought instant relief.

This was truly a gift from god. Thank you Thank you Thank you.

Wow that third stretch popped me! Thank you!

I did the LLE external rotation with foot at 7 oclock. I heard a pop with each of the 3 times! finished with the knee pillow squeeze. I think it has been released!

Thank you so much, before watching you video i had pain on the lateral superior part of my knee and after the FIRST exercise it went away> Pure magic !! Thank you and God bless you!!

Very helpful and informative, thank you for sharing your wisdom!

Thanks very much for your video, is very informative. I had severe low back pain because a lumbar left scoliosis, and my pelvis is misaligned, the left side is posterior and my right side is anterior and elevated. I always make streches and also this exercises, but when I had a severe pain I cann't walk and I try this exercises too, and sometimes its works but another times no. it is very difficult to try free yourself in a crisis of acute pain. A lot of thanks. Have a nice day.

Thank you!!! I did the last exercise first, after watching the video four times. I felt the pop and immediate relief, then I did the whole video. I've been hurting for months, I thought it was the old shoes, new shoes, old shoes with inserts, new shoes with compression socks...yoga (just mild warm=ups) weight vest, posture products, and waist trainer. I looked like a hot mess. I've liked, saved, and subscribed.

I never realized where the pain in my lower back was coming from because I didn't know the sacroiliac was a moveable joint, for some reason I thought it was stationary and couldn't be popped or adjusted. I did the first move from this video and got instant relief. I have tried so many different ways to try and fix this problem like hanging from something and swing my legs smoothly in circles or I tried using a stability ball and stretching on that, stretching with a forward bend like in yoga helped a bit but nothing like these moves in this video they are very specific and work wonders. Thank you so much for posting these gems of knowledge.

Wow, i heard that adjustment!!! You’re awesome , thank you for this video🙏👏🏼it truly helped me .

that was really great. I am certain my back is better. I shall keep this up. ive had this pain for YEARS!

Omg resetting the pubic synthesis freaked me out, got 3 pretty audible clicks. THANK YOU SO MUCH 🙏🏼

very interesting. I'm def going to try this. I was getting hip soreness after squats. hips and hams always felt tight. thanks again.

Brilliant video. It WORKS!!

WOW! I felt my SI go out of whack about 2 hours ago while warming up for squats. Very uncomfortable. Stretching didn’t help very much. This was the first video I came across and tried it. Holy S**t, it worked! Pain is about 5% now and stiffness is all but gone. Thank you thank you thank you! Subscribed.

I recently developed SI joint pain from bad deadlift form on top of pelvic tilt and went to chiropractor to help. Manual adjustment helped right away but 7 weeks later, it came back yesterday. Couldn't continue chiro due to covid so I tried this self adjustment and felt an immediate relief. I could physically feel my L posterior pelvic bone stick out slightly and immediately after doing the exercises it doesn't stick out anymore! Still suffering some residual low back pain but the unilateral pain is gone. Thanks!

It’s 2:30 EST. I’ve been in pain 6wks straight (longest ever) had meds, injections etc ice, heat stretches . So been looking for vids to held ease pain because I knew it had to be something deeper. The first exercise something popped, and I said, oh my relief🤗🤗. I know I got to work at it to get everything feeling better and this was a start🤗I will also continue hamstring and ice and heat.Thanks hopefully I can sleep better as time goes on... Thank you!🤗

Fantastic! Thank you!

so far the best exercises i tried

Thank you so much. I've been in pain for days and discovered this...instant relief!!

Thanks for Your Presentations

Great video

Wow, it clicked! Immediate relief! Thanks!!!

Amazing! I feel 10x better after 1 set!! Thanks!!!!!!!

Thank you so much. ♥️🙏♥️

These worked great for quick relief!!!! I cannot believe I went from feeling like a 25 year old athlete trapped in a 90 year old mans body back to feeling almost normal in 2 minutes. Not a totally perfect fix but I think if I keep working one these I’ll have it under control

This is incredible. Thank you. Is there any way you could post a longer version that goes into the anatomy and how SI joint injuries happen? thanks again this has been very effective for me.

Thanks for the video

This is unbelievable! I have been going to a Chiropractor factory for months with little to no relief, actually feeling worse for a few days after the visit before I went in! I tried these stretches last night and heard the 'click out' after the first stretch to my right SI, you have changed my life with this, infinite gratitude for uploading this video!

Helpful and clear. Thanks.

I have ongoing SI pain that flares up and frequently go to the chiropractor. I wish I had known about this years ago. It would have saved me a ton of money! I got the pop after the first exercise and poof pain gone. I still feel clicking in my groin so it's not 100% better but at least it no longer hurts!

Excellent , great help for me

oh my god seriously it fixed my leg problem like i had a problem with my hip which caused me a lot and then i tried to do some exercise but none of them worked it was hard to climb stairs and walk and then i founded your video and did the same thing which you told to do literally my leg popped little bit i felt so well like when i tried to climb stairs literally no pain on hip or knee thanks sir your the best.

Thanks so much. A few rounds of these techniques gives a vast improvement. Easily 50% better. 👍🏼

Amazing. Thank you

I cannot believe it actually worked!! I had a little pain in left foot after pulling a big closet and this dis the trick. I did felt the click but between the exercises, as i was stretching my foot Thank u sir, amazing!

self sdjustment, right up my alley.

Thank you so much for sharing this! I've struggled with low pack pain, si joint dysfunction, and sciatica for years. It got so bad last year that I was out of work for 2 months. It just started acting up again and I found this video and I finally heard/felt that "click" in this self adjustment. What a relief! Thanks again!!

Super helpful, thanks!

THANK YOU!!

Thank you sir, cant explain how your video help me , god help me by yr video. Thank you🙏,thank you🙏thank you so much🙏

I've had SI joint pain for 6 years now and it's gone right after doing these! Thank you so much! How often can I do this? If done regularly, would it completely be healed? this is a life saver for days when I need to get things done

OMG This just popped up on my screen! Perfect timing and excellent relief doing these exercises just once. Tks!

Hey gosh thank you, about ready to get on a plane to PA!! I've been thru the chiropractors here in my small town - they keep missing this!! I think I had unnecessary radio freq ablation and just needed this AND possibly that cranialsacrum you mention below - BUT my questions are what NOT to do, how to stand at the sink and do dishes (I lean against my pelvis) and how to shave my legs if what you describe isn't the right way...:) Thank you!!

Thank you sir.

I am about crying because is like magic thank you so much I am feeling like a new woman what a different thank you so much. God bless ya 🙏 ❤💙💜

Omg, those outer inner ones are so friggin amazing !! Wish I'd learned it before now!!!

Thank you so much for posting this. Yesterday I could barely sit it hurt so much - did these last night, and I felt something shift in my pelvis though no popping. Today I am sitting more or less comfortably. What a difference! Thank you! :-)

you first reset my symphysis 12 years ago and I've been doing it 10 times a day ever since. it gets easier and easier...sometimes it clicks without me even trying. it just isn't as loud or as satisfying as it was way back when. also now I get a left click and a right click instead of one big one.

I am so grateful for finding this video. As many others on here been to physical therapy and no relief. I’ve finally been able to sleep with minimal pain. Getting better. My only question is how often should I do these exercises and for what time frame? Thank you.

Yes, please explain the abductor squeeze?
