One of the questions people most frequently ask me is “What should I try next?” Many of you have been to see multiple different medical practitioners. Doctors, osteopaths, chiropractors, physical therapists... the list goes on. And what I tell my readers, each and every time, is that I truly recommend physical therapy. You just have to keep going until you find the right person. Not every PT is knowledgeable about SI joint dysfunction. Some of them simply never learned about it in school and can’t treat it. Others may know something about it, but still may not be the best person to treat you. I had to go through EIGHT different rounds of physical therapy before I found the right person to help me. But once I did, everything changed. You can find the right person for you— they are out there.

Took this photo while I was out for a walk today, thinking it would be a beautiful, inspirational shot to show you all the things I can do now. But... thanks to a trick of the light... it came out gloomy, like this. But I kind of like this photo. In a way, it represents what my 5 years living with SI joint dysfunction were like. People ask me how I got through that time. The answer is that, even though it at times it looked pretty dark and hopeless around me, I always kept my eyes open for the beauty around me, and kept my focus on that light on the horizon. And then someday, somehow, I finally got to that light. ✨✨ (For more on the specifics of how I got better, check out My Recovery— link in my bio above!) #sijointdysfunction #sijoint #sacroiliacjointdysfunction #sacroiliacjoint #sijd #physicaltherapy #nature #metaphor #pt #pelvicpain

Had an amazing walk today. Sometimes I start to forget how far I’ve come, but there was definitely a time when I never thought I’d get here.
