SI Joint Pain? Piriformis Syndrome? 5 Exercises to Treat & Prevent

Treat SI joint pain and piriformis syndrome with these 5 simple exercises. Prevent the hip and leg pain that results from sitting all day.

Coach E and Dr. B will demonstrate how you can wake up the muscles that stop working when sitting for hours at a time. They also show you the ReBUT technique which you can (and should) use at your desk, on the couch, or even at the dinner table.

With that, they’ll specifically cover:

The anatomy of your bum and the medical research behind other types of treatments like injections, massage, stretching, and PRP. Spoiler: if you can realign your hip pocket, many times the problem goes away on its own.

They’ll also cover tests to see if you are starting down the road to misaligned hips and the anatomy of how to sit for hours on end without hurting yourself down the road.

If you don’t have pain from sitting right now, these exercises can help prevent your legs from shifting out of an ideal hip pocket and prevent muscles like your hip flexors and psoas from permanently shortening.

These exercises are part of the Foundation for Movement Longevity program that includes advanced tweaks and other exercises to ensure you have a good hip pocket, which will give you the mobility and stability you need to keep doing whatever it is you love to do.

The Foundation for Movement Longevity program focuses on building stability and waking up the 5 major areas of the body which Dr. B and Coach E most often see people struggling with as they discover wear and tear injuries. Most often, the joint that hurts is a symptom of dysfunction or wear & tear somewhere else. The 5 areas covered strategically apply the 80/20 rule for relieving and preventing pain.
