Best 4 Exercises for Sacroiliac SI Joint Pain Relief
Sacroiliac or SI joint pain is debilitating. It can present as low back pain, hip pain, and sciatica. These simple home exercises can help to stabilize the sacroiliac joint and in many cases provide lasting SI joint pain relief.
Especially in cases of SI joint instability, where the SI joint ligaments are overstretched, it is critically important that the muscles that stabilize the sacroiliac joints are strong. Physical therapy and home exercises for the SI joint have been shown to provide lasting pain relief in cases of low back pain, sacroiliac joint pain, hip pain and pelvic pain. These could be exercises that you have learned from a physical therapist or in physiotherapy.
In this video we cover the four best SI (sacroiliac) joint exercises that I use with patients in my sports chiropractic clinic. The sections of this video are as follows:
0:00 - Introduction to SI joint pain issues
00:49 - Overview of Anatomy of Supporting SI Joint Muscles
03:32 - Exercise #1: Side-Lying Straight Leg Raise
06:02 - Exercise #2: Clamshells with a Band
07:16 - Exercise #3: Hip Adduction & Abduction Isometric Strengthening
09:17 - Exercise #4: "Bird Dog" Core Stabilization Exercise
11:29 - Concluding principles and additional exercise recommendations

In this video, Dr. Brant Pedersen (sports chiropractor), goes over four simple exercises that you can do at home with minimal equipment. These SI joint pain exercises target the gluteus medius muscle, other hip abductor and adductor muscles, and the core muscles which help to stabilize the sacroiliac (SI) joint.
SI joint pain exercise #1 is a side-lying gluteus medius strengthening exercises that requires no equipment and is easy to perform anywhere. We go over the critical elements to performing this home exercise properly.
The second sacroiliac joint pain relief exercise is called "clamshell with band" and works the gluteus medius in concentric and eccentric muscle contraction to help train in SI joint muscle strength, as well as muscle control. It uses a Theraband resistance band loop which can be substituted out for common items around the home.
SI joint pain relief exercise #3 is the easiest SI joint pain exercise to perform and is a good place to start if the other SI joint exercises are too advanced. This exercise is an isometric exercise for the SI joint stabilizing muscles of the hip.
Lastly, the fourth SI joint exercise focuses on the core stabilizing muscles that add stability to the sacroiliac joint by attachment to the iliac crest. This exercise is called the "Bird Dog" exercise and it is fantastic for developing core muscle stability, learning how to isolate movement of the hips from the lower back, and improving balance.
I hope this video helps you to find the relief from your SI joint pain you deserve.

I’ve been suffering with lower back pain on my right side for 3 years and have been to pain specialists, physical therapist and a chiropractor for treatment. None of them diagnosed SI joint pain, but after watching this, I am convinced that is what’s going on. I have been doing a lot of “wrong” exercises. So, I have been doing these exercises for one week and wearing a belt. I have felt better than I have in years already! Thank you so much for your expertise.

Wow! Doing those side lying straight leg raises cured my chronic SI joint pain in 5 minutes. Seriously! Thank you SO MUCH! I am a skier and have constantly suffered from SI joint pain halfway through the ski season. This has been going on for 7 years. It was strange that it always happened halfway through the season when I was at my strongest. I assumed it was being caused by twisting forces that built up during skiing. I've visited physiotherapists, chiropractors, bought an SI support belt, and watched countless KZread videos. I've been doing all the recommended exercises faithfully with absolutely NO RELIEF. The only thing that helped was my visit to the chiropractor at the end of each ski season. He suggested I do hip flexor stretches and thought it might be caused by too much sitting. So I was sceptical when I came across this video, but I'd never seen anyone suggest the side lying straight leg raises. Despite being fit and strong I could barely do 3 of the side leg raises on the one sore side without cramping up and collapsing. However, I immediately felt some pain relief in my SI joint. I kept working on this for a couple of days and the severe SI Joint pain disappeared. It's been over 2 months with no pain. NONE! I only do the side leg raises every few days now. My amateur theory is that the pain was caused by my core and glute muscles actually being TOO STRONG, pulling my pelvis out of alignment. And for some reason the gluteus medius wasn't firing to correct this. Who knows. Again, many many thanks for putting this video out.
After a 4 wheeler accident 4 years ago and continuous pain even with chiropractic adjustments, traction, acupuncture, stretching, yoga, x-rays, etc. without lasting results - THESE EXERCISES ARE WORKING!!! The results were almost immediate and allow me to once again move, bend, walk, etc. without pain. I can't wait to see how much better after a few weeks of these excercises. I'm forever indebted to you Doc!!!

I am so glad to have come across your videos about SI joint pain. I have been complaining about a 'soreness' and tenderness in the right hip joint area for the past 5 months and had no clue about the SI joint (I also suffer from low back pain from a 20-year injury from doing straight leg deadlifts with improper form). The main thing I contributed to the right hip discomfort was the difficulty I had with clipping out of the pedals of my Peloton (having to jerk my right foot to escape was so challenging) as well as riding my new Peloton bike 6 days a week for the past 4 months. I will be incorporating these exercises into my daily routine and watching out for shearing moves (lunges, cycling, certain yoga poses). I noticed the Theraband one was particularly challenging to the right hip so I suspect that these exercises will help a ton. Thank you!!!
This has been a miracle for me! Physios and chiros have been hopeless. 2 weeks for doing these almost daily and I don’t have to wear my sacro belt. I’m still careful and will keep building up but I can’t thank you enough. I’m on my way back to being the active person I used to be. Also I use the Pilates ring and a band and do half of these while sitting in the tractor!
I think these movements are just what I need! Thank you so much!
Thank you , again for your time and consideration ⭐
Thanks, really helpful. I had watched the intro into SI isues, also good. I am a competitive cyclist and have been for 20 plus years and from life and bike crashes, carry many issues forward that make an SI injury seemingly impossible to fully recover from. Not to mention, cycling is basically training glutes and quads to be short so SI/sciatic stuff is just something that gets lived with. No doubt that on a race day when the back hurts, performance is comprimised. Its hit and miss. I will try to consistently do the big 4 exercises and see how it goes. Thank you again!
You guys are doing a great job!, I've been dealing with this pain for 4 years and never knew what it was so thank you:)

Thanks for the video
This is one of the best explained and demonstrated videos I have ever watched!!
Hi, thanks for this great post. I am a Pilates Teacher and educator and we do a tremendous amount of side lying work, these exercises are great to strengthen the muscles which help to stabilize the pelvis. My only suggestion is on the bird dog to practice simultaneously sliding out toes and fingers to full extension and return to quadruped (few times) while maintaining proximal stability, then progress to extend limbs and lift and lower, and then to the static hold. Overall, thumbs up, I subscribed and appreciate your simple explanation of the muscle imbalances and how to approach an exercise based protocol to support healing.
Am I ever glad I found this You-Tube, it started reducing the pain after the first exercise group. Thank You Sir

I can't offer individualized diagnosis or treatment recommendations through KZread comments, but I would say in my practice that we sometimes use pelvic blocks (aka SOT block - SacroOccipital Technique) to help in the adjustment of an SI joint that is unstable but misaligned. The placement of the blocks is very specific to the patient and how they are presenting. You might want to search for a chiropractor that does one of the following chiropractic techniques: SOT, AK (Applied Kinesiology) or pelvic blocking techniques.

Hi Ryanne Nelson! That is such a good question. Therapeutic exercise should never be painful and it should make you feel better after you do it. It may make your muscles sore like if you had sore muscles after a working out or after a long hike. But that muscle soreness is different from joint or nerve pain. Working with your doctor or PT they should be able to help you determine what is appropriate for you at this stage. I hope that helps. Take care.
I have had chronically sprained s.i. joints for years; my doctor said it's connected to weak illio-psoas muscles, which I can't seem to get strengthened.

That makes me smile. Thank you!
Again, love the anatomy details as it helps me see and understand where I am weak and how certain movements while working "stow" at Amazon can flare up these areas. I will definitely do these exercises and be mindful of unmindful positions/movements as I work. Thank you.
Super helpful! Thank you!

Thank YOU for watching and sharing your thoughts.🙏🏽
Ya gotta know, I am very very thankful to find you. My work has changed and with having to where "safety shoes" it is really killing my stance. I am retraining my body to stabilize with your information.
So happy to have found your video. Have been doing these exercises for about 7days . And after a year of pain from an injury jumping into a pool and breaking my foot. I have gotten almost pain free. THANK YOU 🙏 i will continue!
Great stuff.i will start today and chime back in in one week.
Great advice! Thanks so much for sharing!

You are very welcome! I’m glad my video was helpful. 😊
Love your channel, you are so good at explaining things and showing proper ways to do the exercises. I see a Chiro twice a month going on three years now, he has been phenomenal and helped me so very much with So many things. I have SI joint issues, and he told me from the get-go to work on my glute med, I did for a bit then got lazy...i dropped the ball and you helped me to pick it back up. I've worked on it for a few days and am already improving!! Tysm!! 🎉😊
Great exercises! Thanks doc!
