Pain is such a difficult thing to live with

Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".

I told my BIL about this exercise but his SI joint is "frozen" so I'm not sure it'll help him. If it doesn't, any suggestions to what he can try??

I'd say try it for a couple weeks anyway. If it doesn't help, he should see a DO or a PT who is an OCS. (orthopedic clinical specialist ? something like that. they have taken extra training and passed some intense exams and are good at dealing with stuck joints.)

He has been to a chiro. Said it took about 5 times before they could move it. Not sure when he went the last time though.

A D.O. or a PT OCS will teach him how to move it himself, if it needs to be moved. In older men it usually doesn't move and isn't meant to. If he has a problem with it moving and getting painfully stuck in the wrong spot, the DO or PT will teach him how to correct it and fix it himself. (I think I've only treated maybe 2 men who had actual SI problems.)
And always, always, always; the first thought is to rule out a lumbar spine problem."If Americans want to live the American Dream, they should go to Denmark." - Richard Wilkinson
