You may not think of sitting as a strenuous activity, but for the SI joints, it can be! These joints play a pivotal role in how our weight is distributed as we sit, and how stress travels throughout our body. Just found a great video from a PT that explains more— link ☝🏼 in my bio above! #sijoint #sijointdysfunction #pelvicpain #sacroiliacjoint #sacroiliacjointdysfunction #sacroiliitis
A few people have mentioned lumbar fusion surgery to me recently, as a possible cause for their SI joint dysfunction. I just found the perfect video from a neurosurgeon that addresses this exact issue! The short answer is yes— when you restrict the motion of the spine, the SI joints may compensate by becoming MORE mobile. Check out my blog for more— link in bio! #sijointdysfunction #sijoint #sacroiliacjoint #sacroiliacjointdysfunction #sacroiliitis #backpain #pelvicpain
Have you ever noticed that, when your SI joints are out of alignment, you get out of breath faster-- even when you're simply just walking? That's because all of the muscles and joints in your body are designed to work together in a certain way. If you throw off one part of the movement system, the rest of it has to work harder.

Please Note

I’m writing this blog to share what I’ve learned as a patient with SI joint dysfunction.  I do not currently hold any medical certifications.

I hope that what I write here will spark your interest, give you hope, and introduce you to new ideas.  My goal is to help get you pointed in the right direction, and save you some of the time it took me to find answers.  Please consult your doctor before making any changes to your healthcare routine.
