Exercises for Sacroiliac Joint Pain

Posted: Wednesday, June 18, 2008

If you are looking to do exercises for sacroiliac joint pain then your first focus should be to stabilize the pelvis
including the sacrum in proper alignment.

DO NOT do SI joint exercises in poor pelvic alignment, you will only stabilize the faulty alignment and cause
more problems!

FIRST

Learn neutral spine: Neutral Spine is the healthiest and most stable position for the spine and pelvis taking in
to account the natural curvature of the spine.

• Standing: Back up against a wall with your buttocks and shoulder blades leaning into the wall. Notice
whether your lower back is against the wall or if there is an excessive arch there. The latter is more
common.
To achieve neutral keep the buttocks and shoulders against the wall and then draw the middle part of your back
into the wall. You should feel the abdominal muscles engage and/or the ribs drawing in.

• Lying: Lying on a mat with your knees bent and feet hip width apart, arms at your side.

Begin by releasing your tailbone down creating an arc in the lower back, move up into the mid back and draw it
down without flattening the spine. The shoulder blades are down and heavy and the back of the neck is long, do
this by drawing your chin down towards your chest leaving the size of a fist space there.

• Sitting: When sitting in a chair press your bottom right up against the back of the chair then stack the
rest of the spine over it. Your collarbone is over your hip bones and your breastbone is right above the
pubic bone. Navel drawn in gently.

Proper posture is the best way to reduce tension from sitting at work all day, on computers, driving, etc.

SECOND

Pelvic Stabilization Exercises for Sacroiliac Joint Pain:

Wall squats

Position: Standing in neutral against the wall with your feet the length of your thighs away from the wall.

Action: Bend your knees no lower than a 90 degree angle keeping your weight in the heels evenly for both feet.
Kneecaps should line up with the second toe in each foot. Repeat for 8-12 repetitions. Do 2-3 sets every other
day.

Cues: Place hands on hip bones and make sure they stay level as you bend and lift, also keep the buttocks,
shoulder blades, and mid part of the back against the wall throughout the exercise.

Pelvic clocks

Position: Lying on the floor with neutral spine and knees bent.

Action: Imagine your pelvis as a clock. 12 o'clock is at your navel, 6 is at your pubic or tailbone, 3 and 9 are the
hip bones. Now imagine there is water in that clock or bowl and you are going to empty from 12 o'clock around
clockwise and then counterclockwise feeling each number on the clock working.

Cues: Keep the knees still you are just mobilizing the pelvis.

Diaphragmatic Breathing

Position: Lying in neutral spine.

Action: Without changing the position of your spine inhale deeply through the nose filling up or expanding into
the ribs and upper back, then exhale through your mouth expelling the air again without changing the spine. On
the exhale feel all the air leave your body feeling the muscles tighten around the waist as your abdomen
flattens.
THIRD

Strengthening Exercises for Sacroiliac Joint Pain: Once you have a stable and aligned pelvis you can begin
mobilizing exercises to continue strengthening.

Leg Circles

Position: Lying on the floor with one leg extended along the mat and the other at a 90 degree angle to the floor
and a neutral spine.

Action: Keeping the pelvis still circle the thigh (leg) in the hip socket 6 times each direction. Switch legs.

Cues: Focus on keeping the torso and leg on the mat very still as you freely circle the leg in the air.

Bridges

Position: Lying in neutral with knees bent arms at your side.

Action: Inhale to prepare and exhale as you press into your heels lifting the pelvis up in neutral until weight is
between shoulder blades not in the neck. Inhale hold then exhale to bring the tailbone and ribs down all at one
time.

Cues: Focus on the navel drawn in to lift the pubic bone up to the ceiling. Weight even in the feet.

Rotation and side bending exercises can be added as you are symptom free in neutral spine.
