I hurt.

[sfa]

I assume you are doing this 10 repetitions, every two hours? (so 8 or more sessions a day)

How long does the relief last? You may need to do it more frequently for a few days: for example, if relief lasts for 35 minutes, you may need to do the movement every 30 minutes, etc.

Hmmm, more like just three times a day (once in the morning, right after work, before bed). I'll up the frequency, even if it means looking like a fool lying down on my office floor! One of them involves an exercise ball, so that's not happening at work. The relief lasts about an hour or so, but can be longer depending on my overall activity level.

Thanks so much for your help!

Oh my goodness!!! You DO have your corrective movement! Fabulous! If you know relief lasts about an hour, then I'd suggest you try to do the movement every hour. Your goal is to never let it slip awry enough to hurt, chase it back into place before it even THINKS about slipping awry.

This is so exciting, you've already got everything you need to fix it! Choose the one exercise that works the best (gives the best relief) and do that one 10 times every hour. Don't wait for the SI to hurt (by which time it's already awry), fix it before it gets the chance to hurt. Doing a movement 10 times will take about 45 seconds out of your hour, well worth it to get the healing process rolling.

After a few days you may find the SI is less sloppy, and you may be able to decrease the movement to every 2 hours. It gets less sloppy as collagen builds up without getting torn asunder every time the SI moves.

You know how to put the SI right, you know how to make your pain go away. Don't put up with any pain! Get rid of it! You have the power!
