Hey,
Just hoping for some advice from people who have experienced and trained through sacro iliac joint issues! I've had specialist confirm what needs to be fixed long term to stop it from coming back but would love some advice on what i can do to reduce the pain while training?
I'll fix it after Russia just need to get back to heavy reads asap
thanks

Seems to be a common problem. I've self diagnosed mine as hypermobile SI joint. Should probably investigate it a bit more thoroughly. Sitting for long periods causes an issue but I just squeeze the glutes till I hear and feel a pop and it's all good. Was painful for a few weeks when I first injured it but now isn't really painful at all. May be a reason why I don't heavy dead much of latebut not consciously.

Get onto the sanfrancisco crossfit channel on YouTube and search for SI problems, lower back, TFL and pelvic tilt. Do it all. I cannot emphasis enough how important it is to stretch out the hip flexor. Massage and heat packs help as well. My physio reckons all of my SI issues are hip related.

thanks mate i'll keep going through those! my hip flexors are pretty retarded so i'll get on those as well. Looks like i'm going to have to take a few weeks off which isn't nearly ideal  |

yeah seems real common among powerlifters. has anyone used the sacro belt you can buy? Another sufferer of SI joint issues here. I haven't used the sacro belt. But I found it helps if I wear my belt for deadlifts very low down - almost over my hips at the back and angled up at the front. It might sound kind of weird, and pretty much the opposite of the higher position where a belt is most comfortable for deadlifts. Conventional deadlifts seems to be a very big aggravator of the SI joint. The worst part is all the referred pain and tightness it creates. Long term, apparently you can get injections directly into the joint. I haven't looked into it in any great detail as my problem has been largely under control since I started lifting again this year. |

thats pretty similar to where the sacro belt thing gets worn so makes sense. Are we allowed to get injections into the joint or is it against wada rules?

It depends on what you're injecting! But cortisone injections are generally ok.

I had one in the SI joint, one in the facet joint at the Olympic Sports Medicine Center here in Melbourne, so it should be fine. Wilks said it's ok too. Those of you suffering from SI joint issues, could you try this hip internal rotation test? It's pretty simple: trainoutpain.blogspot.com.au/2009/11/hip-internal-rotation.html - see the picture. Mine is horrible. More like 20 deg! |
