Tip For SI Rehab

I published a paper on the “Root Cause of SI Joint Dysfunction” that has (statistically) made medical history in readership.

In my chronic low back pain clinic, this is the #1 cause I see especially in patients who have already “tried everything.”

PT. Chiro. Injections. Nothing worked.

One of the biggest issues I see in SI rehab:

👉 Patients are told to “push through pain”

That’s a mistake.

I tell my patients:

And when patients flare up, they quit.

A very common problem:

Pain when adding load during adduction work

Here’s how I troubleshoot it:

Instead of:→ Jumping to full volume at the new weight (3x30)

Do this:→ 1 set at the new weight→ Remaining 2 sets at lower or no weight→ Slow the tempo down

This keeps progression without triggering the joint for me

I see this work consistently.

Curious—

Have you run into this with your SI patients? What have you found works (or doesn’t)?
