Sacroiliac Joint Syndrome - How to do exercises to stabilize the SIJ and reduce pain

Показать описание

The sacroiliac joint (SIJ) is composed of both fibrocartilage and hyaline cartilage. The fibrocartilage is found lining the iliac side, and the hyaline cartilage lines the sacral side, both of which are encapsulated by a fibrous capsule.

The SIJ is a diarthroidal synovial joint with an anterior segment (true synovial joint), and a posterior segment. The posterior segment is a syndesmosis that is composed of the gluteus minimus and medius, piriformis, and sacroiliac ligaments.

Since all these muscles are shared with the hip joint, the SIJ cannot function independently. The SIJ serves to provide stability, is a C-shaped joint, and has two interlocking lever arms at the S2 level. The stability of the SIJ is boosted by the large number of surrounding ligaments. The ligaments are the deep anterior, posterior, and interosseous ligaments which all resist the load of the sacrum relative to the ilium.

The superficial ligaments are the sacrotuberous, long and short sacroiliac ligaments, all of which react to dynamic motion. The long dorsal ligament can be stretched in periods of reduced lumbar lordosis.

In today's video we go over exercises that activate all of the active soft tissues surrounding the SIJ. This is to help maintain joint stability, especially during transitional movements such as getting up from a chair, getting in or out of a car, or doing activities like squats or deadlifts
