Just paid $80.00/half hour to learn these exercises at a physio clinic. Thank you for sharing them via a video. It will help many who can't afford physio treatments. I've been doing them for over a month now and my strength has really increased.
Wow, I immediately found relief with these simple exercises! Thankyou so much and God bless you. I highly recommend anyone suffering from this pain to follow her advice! I cant thank you enough.
THANK YOU!! I have been suffering from SI joint pain for years. My old PT gave me a sheet of stretches that I lost, so I am very grateful to have these available online!!
I have searched and tried the past 3months for SI joint pain relief. Nothing helped until I found this. Simple and easy to remember. I have less pain. Hope to have minimal to zero pain after 30 days, thanks so much for this video.
Hello Michelle, thank you so much for sharing this great video. I've been suffering low back pain on my left hand side pelvis for 4 days now, and hurts so much when I tried to stand up. But after I tried your exercises, it was a relief! the pain slowly fading. I'll make this as a daily routine exercises from now on... looking forward to see more of your videos. God Bless you...
This was SO SO helpful and great! I discovered that I had frozen lower back muscles three years ago, and gave birth nearly two years ago. I have been searching for different stretches online, finding some that either don't help or are just so-so. These 4 exercises (especially the last 2) are just the kind of exercises that I've been looking for and I can feel them working right off the bat! I can't thank you enough for sharing these exercises and all your other content on RU-vid. Not to sound corny or anything, but watching your videos makes me feel like someone finally understands what my body has gone through and needs! Thank you, Michelle! Keep up the good work and please continue posting this needed content! xx
Hi Agnes I'm really glad to read that the exercises are helping you. If you have any requests please always feel most welcome to let me know, if I can make content that helps you then that's wonderful. Thank you for taking the time to comment
Excellent demo, most 'experts' show how to loosen and reset the joint, those exercises just make loose si joints worse, you've demonstrated how to stabilize, which will help so many people. You have a nice relaxed style, thank you.
Phenomenal! I’ve had SI joint pain ever since my first was born and after doing pelvic floor physio in person I’m amazed at how gentle and targeted these are! Thank you for sharing your precious knowledge with us 👏
Thankyou for your really clear and well explained demonstration of exercises, ive been looking for exercises that will stabilise and strengthen my weak SIJs.:-)
Thanks so much for these exercises, I went for physical therapy , and she showed me these excercises but I got hurt because she did explain it as clearly as you did, thanks again
Mine was undiagnosed for years and got so inflamed that I had to take SI and SC Injection, along with nerve RF. Now I'm ready to do this exercise with my new-feel hips 💪🏻
Thank you very much for teaching me these excersises. I've been suffering for many years and these help sooo much. I can sit and stand for a long time now.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I am having SI joint pain since a few weeks and going for physio therapy for it, but these are additional exercises I can do. 🙂
Hi Michelle Decided not to buy a car to do my bit for the environment. However carrying shopping is taking its toll on my hips and heels. Thank you for sharing these exercises. I have felt instant relief. I will also invest in a shopping trolley 😊 God Bless You
Thank you, after physio, chiro sorting the SIJs they never stay in place/fixed. No one seems to have long term answers.....I wonder why. I'm going to try your exercises to relieve the misery (and all the associated nerve related symptoms). Blessings to you for posting this video.
Hi Muso if the muscles aren't working correctly then malalignment can recur. This can be caused by factors such as muscles being too weak, overactive or too tight so stretching and strengthening can both play a role. Your Physio should be able to tell you which muscles to focus on in relation to your SIJ, all the best
Michelle Kenway hi, thank you, it's, I believe, a combination of all of those things. So specific exercises are now helping. Thanks, the video has been a great help, almost instant relief too. Bless you.
Thank you very much for sharing w video. Very helpful demonstration and clear instructions. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏾👍🏽👍🏾🌸🌺🌸🌺🌸🌺👌🏼🌺🌸🌺🌸🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Rob strengthening needs to be gentle and progressed gradually - if you can get a physio to supervise you then great. Start with one or two exercises alternate days and gradually build up rather than trying to do these all at once. This way you can identify and eliminate or modify any problem exercises
Hi Michelle. Tyvm for these great videos. Had a hysterectomy and just started with your series last week. I made a playlist with your pelvic floor exercises. Wondering if you could please ADD a video for safely firming/lifting your butt? Butt exercises? Thank you.
Can you pls give me some exercise for feet numbness. Also, my friend is suffering from severe headache and neck pain, can you give some exercise for that as well. Thanks in advance
My scrum and pelvis keep slipping after I walk. I had surgery on my core so trying to get stronger. Glad you posted this! Should I put off walking for like 3 days while I do this exercise everyday? I have KT tape on my sacrum and wearing an SI belt. Saw my chiropractor this am. Came home and walked 5 minutes and boom sacrum is out
Hi Ann whle walking is a great form of exercise, unfortunately with unstable pelvic joints it's not helpful because of the loading of the joints with weightbearing. Better alternatives can include cycling or deep water walking until your pelvic/gluteal and core muscles are strong enough to maintain the stability of your pelvic joints. Hope this helps!
Totally agree with Michelle. Walking aggravates my scrum, yet I get no pain while cycling. Hope to further my muscle strength by doing these exercises a couple of times a day.
I just found out the dull pain in my left hip was inflammation in my SI joint. I know it's tired of me sitting at the computer. I'm going to start these exercises right away, and walk away from the computer more often throughout the day.
Thank you so much Michelle great demo on exercises having si problems how often should I do the exercises does it eventually come right what shouldnt one do is lifting weights bad fr this problem going to do your routine much gratitude 💕🙏
Thank you. I have sciatica and I have discomfort on the right side. Seems my bowel presses on the nerve and I'm not constipated. It's sore all the way down to the bottom of both feet.
You are a Godsend. I've had pain for 6 years but luckily I have some knowledge as I studied medicine for 3 years. Upon visiting the chiropractor I was told me to do back stretches + strengthen my core a little (obliques, abs, but also rhomboids & longissimus thoracis) All due to a slight nonstructural scoliosis. After the session and being fixed (which last for 3 days) , I asked: should I not strengthen the SI area since I would be also correcting the scoliosis and stretching and maybe causing imbalance? "no no, you will be fine".... But now with your video, I am literally fixed and pain gone from the 1st day. Now it's been a week and no pain! Thank you so much!
Hi Michelle, great video and look forward to giving these all a go! I've been having pain in my hip with aching glutes and at one point even sciatic type pain down my leg. I had an MRI scan and I've got inflammation showing in my right SIJ. Could I rehabilitate myself through exercises like these? No doctor, physio or chiro seems to know why I have this inflammation Thanks again!
Thank you for sharing this with us Michelle. I am 21 weeked pregnant and I have sacroiliac joint pain very much. This is my second pregnancy and I can't walk long ( max ten minutes ) I can't stand long... What is your suggestion for me so I can relax a little bit?
Hi Selvin yes this is a big challenge isn't it. Do you have access to a Physio? This would be the best place to start. Physios often use a pelvic stability brace to go around the hips and stabilize the pelvis in combination with treatment techniques and education to avoid single leg standing, steps etc and do stability exercises such as the ones shown in this video can be prescribed. It's also possible to use warmth or cold packs over the SIJ for temporary relief too. All the best for your pregnancy
Trying to avoid si fusion surgery, so I am keen to give these exercises a try. Are all four movements to be done on both sides, or just the painful side? Ty.
Hi Thank you for this. I’m 71 years old and had a Corda Equina operation 2.5 years ago. I have now developed pain and my physio asked me to do these exercises. When I do the bridging exercise I get cramps in my legs. Anything I can do about it?
Hello doctor, I am a patient of ankolysing spondilitis with HLA b 27 positive. And my pain is around sacroilaitic joint . Pain is so severe that's why i can't move on bed. Even i sneezing or coughing a current like pain on sacroilaitic joint. Please Mam suggest me for how to cope up with my situation. Nikhil Shekhar ( india)
Hi Nikhil thanks for your message. I'm not a doctor, I'm a Physiotherapist. It would be good for you to see a Physiotherapist if you can access one to assess and treat your condition. Your doctor may be able to assist you with medication to relieve your condition too - I am unable to advise you about your condition, my apologies
