What is SI joint pain?
—SI joint pain is characterized by pain in the lower back, just above the buttocks, caused by dysfunction in the sacroiliac joint.
How does the glute Max muscle affect SI joint pain?
—The glute Max muscle, when contracted, can open up the pelvis and externally rotate the femurs, leading to misalignment and pain in the SI joint.
What are internal rotators and adductors?
—Internal rotators and adductors are muscles that oppose the glute Max muscle, helping to maintain alignment of the pelvis and femurs.
Why is proper alignment important for managing SI joint pain?
—Maintaining proper alignment can reduce stress on the SI joint and alleviate pain and discomfort.
How often should I perform the exercise?
—It is recommended to perform the exercise multiple times a day, especially during flare-ups, to experience the full benefits.
