Thank you for attending the SI Joint - Ease and Stability Workshop.

Here is, as requested, class follow up with some additional information:

I thought long and hard about how much of additional information to include.

I've noticed that for me and many of my clients extra information can lead to a bit of a choice paralysis - we submerge into the research trying to figure out what exactly is the right thing to do, while movement  - the actual thing that can make a difference  - falls by the wayside.

So instead, here is a short - term home program for you to try out.

Before you begin: take a note of how you are feeling and the severity of your symptoms.

Please follow the program for 3 - 4 weeks while observing how your body responds to what you are doing. Aim to start with 5 -10 minutes every second or third day (depending on how your body tolerates things) and gradually move toward doing 5 - 7 minutes every day.

Roll out your quads {I don't have a printout for this one, but here is the full-on front hip release sequence}

Check in with your symptoms once a week to see if there's any improvement. Let me know how you feel at the end of those 3-4 weeks and I can help you course - correct from there.

The usual getting-better trajectory, while not exactly linear, looks something like this:

find ease => reset movement patterns => find stability => build strength

This first program segment is geared toward finding ease - and it is essential to find ease before you begin moving forward. Without ease, each and every one of your movements will stem from tension. That's how injuries happen...
