A Few Exercises for the Aching SI Joint

This month, I went into Therapeutic Associates Physical Therapy with pain in my lower back. This has been a common occurrence throughout the years that I have been skiing. I found that the pain is centered around my sacroiliac joint (SI joint). This joint is found in the pelvis, between the sacrum and the ilium.

When it is repeatedly in use, especially when force and pressure are applied to the ligaments surronding it for long periods of time, it often becomes sore and feels as if it is not aligned. For example, this last time my SI joint flared up, I had just done a 2 hour double pole followed by squats in the gym. This combination did not fare well for my SI joint, and it started aching and seized up. This video will show you the exercises I did that helped the pain dissolve and got me back to normal.
