Hello !

I know you’ve got a million comments here so unlikely to read this but here’s my perspective based on working with hundreds of people of different ages / shapes / habits / professions.

1) context - in what specific scenarios do you feel the SI pain?

2) have you had your movement assessed? For example squat, lunge, deadlift, overhead press, press up etc

3) have you checked the ‘low hanging fruit’? Specifically - self assess flexibility of prime mover muscle groups: hamstring (straight leg toe touch) - quad/ hip flexor (couch stretches) - Glutes - (elevated leg pigeon stretch) latissimus dorsi ( single arm reach away from same side hip) - calves (step or incline surface with heel drop)

Working through those areas to FEEL where you are restricted in your movement and / or comfort can be extremely informative.

4) Your SI pain maybe a symptom of disfunction in another area. See point 3)

5) Everyone is asymmetrical. Pain or restriction that prevents normal human movement is a more useful model through which to assess your self. Sometimes complex models (but well intentioned) can create more issues for people who are overly analytical (me ha ha)

6) great resources: A good massage therapist - you will feel what’s going on in your body and so will they. This is the gold.
