🛠️ Fix-It Thursday: Say Goodbye to SI Joint Pain! 🧩🦴
That deep ache in your lower back or pelvis might be coming from your SI joint—where your spine meets your pelvis. When this joint is irritated or unstable, it can cause sharp pain, stiffness, or discomfort with movement.

Today, we’re targeting relief through:
✅ Gentle mobility exercises to reduce stiffness
✅ Stability drills to support the SI joint
✅ Core + glute strengthening for better alignment

Consistency is key—small, intentional movement can bring big relief. Let’s stabilize and support your spine from the ground up! 💪

💥 What Is SI Joint Pain? 🔍

Pain in your lower back, hips, or pelvis? Your sacroiliac (SI) joint might be the culprit. This small but powerful joint connects your spine to your pelvis—and when it becomes irritated or unstable, movement can quickly become painful.

Today, we’re breaking down:
⚠️ What causes SI joint dysfunction
⚠️ Common symptoms (like pain with standing, walking, or rolling over in bed)
⚠️ How mobility and stability work together for relief

SI joint pain often mimics other conditions, so accurate assessment and targeted movement are key. When your SI joint moves well, everything else moves better. 💪
