I don't want to scare anyone, but I personally had to go through 7 different rounds of physical therapy before finding the right person. It was worth it in the end! But on my blog, I offer tips to help you find the right person, sooner!

✨Healing the SI joints without surgery really comes down to two factors: 1. Letting sprained ligaments heal 2. Building muscle strength to support the joint✨ These are two equally-important sides of the same coin. You need both for healing. But how do you balance one against the other? For more info, check out my blog— link 👆🏼 in bio above! ✨ #sij #sijointdysfunction #sijoint #sijointpain #sacroiliacjoint #sacroiliacjointdysfunction #pelvicpain #womenshealth #pt #physio #physicaltherapy #strength

**The SI joint and the brain** I’ve learned through my own personal experience how trauma — whether it’s emotional or physical– can change the brain. And how it seems like now, we're just starting to explore all the amazing things that can happen when we start to change it back. I’ve heard some fascinating stories lately from readers who’ve tried brain-centered approaches to healing SI joint dysfunction. Approaches such as Somatics and Postural Restoration don’t focus solely on the idea of injured SIJ ligaments. Instead they look at neuromuscular patterns that may be holding trauma in your body and causing you to use muscles unevenly and inefficiently. And we know that muscle imbalances *can* have an effect in the SI joint. So I think these approaches are definitely worth investigating. For more, click the link in my bio ☝🏼above!
