Anyone with SI pain isn't gonna care how weird it looks.🤣 Trust me. The relief is worth it. Thanks for sharing!

That is very true. When you're in pain this is actually what you think would feel good for relief. You just need a partner to help.

Ian, I love you! At 51, after my daughter graduated from college, I chose to return to school to FINALLY become a massage therapist. You have become an important addition to my schooling. Your approach makes worlds of sense to me, and you have helped me to identify and begin to create my personal style, and you’ve given me so many tools for my toolbox! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Wow, I just turned 51, and about to venture out with my new massage license. Congrats!!!! Love this channel

This was not weird at all. I appreciate the education on more "clothed" massage techniques. You and your team are amazing

Straight up this looks like exactly what I need if I someone would do this to my back right now it would be worth a thousand dollars. Thanks for sharing different techniques

I’m so happy I could cry. I’ve tried describing the pain I’ve had countless times like this: My legs constantly feel like they need to be quickly jerked out of my pelvis by my feet. I imagine I’d find relief…aside from the whole glaring dislocation issue. 😂I’ve located the pain deep into my sacrum on the top right and top left. It’s an insane pain that actually results in some relief to the point that I’ve bruised it with my knuckles. This is the ONLY video I’ve found that ventures anywhere near this topic and then gave so many things to try. I’m elated and so very thankful. You’re the BEST!!!!!!!

An instructor early in my career taught me not to be afraid of working important areas of the body, but instead to educate yourself on what you're afraid of. Thanks for being brave enough to share on this platform. You are helping others understand that. I loved how your personality came through.

It’s only weird if you make it weird. Lol. From a chronic sacrum hip pain sufferer, I don’t care what weird thing you do, just give me some relief!

Very. True with good thoughts of mind 😊

I’ve been doing this weirdness for years and my clients appreciate it.

I was a doula and childbirth educator, and I’m now a massage therapy student. I love working this area, and have been able to utilize so many of the “labor relief” techniques I learned working as a doula on non pregnant people. The hip release is a favorite of mine, and even my massage instructor learned something new. I enjoy your channel and tips a lot. Thanks for sharing.

And I'm glad you have been giving this to your clients!!

Can't wait to try this on my clients. I love giving and receiving sacrum work. Very therapeutic. I learn a lot from your videos!

I LOVE this! I have so many clients with SI joint problems and I've used this many times! Thank you Ian and your voice is very soothing!

Been kinda stumped on the SI joint lately. Perfect timing on this upload. THANK YOU.

Another fabulous video! Keep up the great work. Movement adds so much to the massage experience.

This is great! I have found that compressions and jostling has been fantastic for clients that need the work done but aren't comfortable dis-robing. The rocking also calms the client and makes the work easier. Great video.

Not weird. Totally love your work. You are absolutely right that if you communicate well with a client they don't object to what you do. They want to feel better and if what a therapist does achieves that they are happy.

Another wonderful video I learn so much from all of your videos , thank you 😊

Love this. Definitely not weird. Your right it's all about communicating! I think this is important work, I would love to have someone try this on me. My SI joints often get tweaked and will sometimes adjust when I'm getting massaged in low back, lying prone.I will be incorporating this technique in my work!

Thanks Ian, I like this technique I use it quite a lot, very effective and gentle on the therapist if used correctly. Keep sharing and inspiring. ✌️

Thanks Ian. Another informative video. Can't wait to try this.

I injured my sacrum a few years ago so this looks amazing to me! Thanks for posting.

I truly love your videos - they've been so very helpful. I am an LMT - My sacrum would LOVE these techniques!! thanks so much :) I plan to use them! NOt weird at all!

You are both genuinely funny and instructrive. I love your videos! You are always so good at teaching massage and the ethics involved with it.

I really enjoyed this video , and it helps me as if I am now going to level 2 for my internship by the end of today , and this was not explained in class all these different techniques, thank you for your help and you are great at explaining

This looks fantastic for posterior issues. I want someone to do it on me! I have SI joint issues and lumbar pain. Perfect communication also. Good job.

Thank you for sharing. Very helpful and not weird at all. I will definitely will use this on my clients

Not weird AT ALL. Super dynamic and helpful for a challenging but tight region for massage. Thanks!!

I have a client today that has SI joint problems. Thank you for the great techniques!!

Not weird to me! I want this done on myself! Haha I have a handful of clients I'd like to try this on and see their feedback. Mobilization is more important than we think. Thanks Ian!

Fantastic! Thankyou so much for such clear teaching!

It's good to have additional options for SI Joint relief! I am so glad you shared this.

I cant wait to try this! Thank you!

As always, thank you for the informative video!!

Love the technique! Took a few things from you. Good work!

Thank you, Ian! Terrific!

Thank youuuuu so good this is a great Technic you are amazing a lot of women suffer from pain there after birth and keep suffering from this for years how helpful thank you for sharing

I didn't find it weird at all... But that's perhaps because I have been doing something very similar all along. It wasn't on the sacrum but right above it and on the hips. You just gave me the freedom to take my shaking even further! Thanks @Massage Sloth for your accustomed excellent help!

Fantastic! Can't wait to use these techniques on my clients!

Weird? Crazy? Haha! Fellow bodywrorkers geek right alongside you when we see maybe some new ways to connect & engage muscles that might be beneficial. Thanks for your work Ian!

Thank you for your valuable advice. I wish you peace, happiness and continued success on your channel. 🙏🏼🌈🍀🌻🦋💕 Your channel is amazing!

Excellent video. I also like to get on the table, pull the drape down to just below the sacrum, and glide up the length of the spine with medium pressure for some decompression.

Not weird at all. Thank you for sharing! Very helpful for those with lower back and gluteal pain.

This is great! Thank you, Ian!

Great flow of massage techniques.

Good stuff!! Love getting excited about new trick to open up areas where congestion just thrives. You are awesome i just subscibed! Hello from North Cali💞🌸🌺✌👏👏

Excellent, thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Brilliant!!! I will be utilizing this!!

You are inspiring...thank you for sharing.

Definitely not weird...it gives me a bunch of new/diverse ideas and possibilities for working with patients in the gluteal region to break out of my routine set of techniques. Thanks for the great instruction!

That's what I like to hear! 🤗

Not weird - helpful. I've used this technique before, forgot about it, so thanks for the reminder! Those with sedentary jobs can really benefit from this technique to break up "stagnation" around the sacrum area. I also appreciate how you always explain to your clients what you'd like to do and why, get consent, and clearly let them know they can revoke consent any time they wish. This is how we build and maintain therapeutic relationships, which is as or more important than any technique. :-)

You are great. Authentic and informatif. Please continue being weird.

Brilliant. And so helpful. Thank you!!

I love it can’t wait to try it on my clients thanks😃

Oh and this video wasn’t weird at all; it was very informative !

I'm trying this tomorrow! I wish I could do it on myself! Thanks, Ian!

Not weird! Can't wait to try it out.

i would love to have such kind of massage/ treatment. Thank you for this video

You might be a touch crazy in general Ian, ha ha, but your work is really great. I always look forward to see what you are sharing with us next. Thank you.

Yes, I use this in my practice. Good release.

Nice technique, I will add this by tomorrow. Looks very effective. Thank you! No its not too weird , it is valuable techniques!

Not weird at all. Very helpful! Thank you Ian. ❤️

Excellent video! Thank you!

Not weird was exactly what I was looking for thanks

Great video

I soooooo need one of these massages!!!

Ian, I love your vídeos and I love your voice. I was laughing so hard when you shook your client's sacrum, it is just such an odd move, but I can see how beneficial it can be. We have such a weird and cool job. 😊

Not weird at all! Very helpful video. Thank you.

Awesome. Impressive and educative

Thank you so much for this video. My left SI joint has been bothering me as I constantly feel the need to stretch my leg in order to get the relief. It’s not painful but rather a feeling of discomfort like it’s dispositioned or something. I think this video will help solve this problem

Your very professional. Thank you. God Bless you

Once again you have impressed me with you flawless knowledge of your craft! You truly have a gift! Mainly on observation and just simply performing what has to be done from that observation! I tip my hat to you fellow therapist!

Not weird at all. Extremely educational and helpful

Thank you! Very cool technique, and it is totally in-line with the Dynamic Thai Therapeutics I was taught. Not weird at all:)

Greatest video!!! Thanks

Very helpful thank you

Yes it weird, but not too weird. Especially the explanation before it helps let the client be prepared. Which is keeps it professional. If I had sciatica, and this worked I'd be very happy. 😊 good work.

Good technique. Feels great and it isn’t weird.

Terrific! Thank you!

That’s good to start to warm it up first for someone who have a sciatica problem then proceed to massage it. That I’m going to do thank u for sharing it.

It's not weird, man. Actually an area that doesn't get enough attention, so it's good that you included it

It was brilliant!

Very helpful. Thank you 😊🦋

This is great! I have a few clients on whom I'll try this!

Hey Ian, you say massage is weird anyway 😁 The weirdest thing I learned was shaking the pelvis in the sitting position, but at that point we were told that "it's in the books, but no one actually does that, there are things you can do, that will also work and don't feel as uncomfortable as this".

Really helpful thanks!

Hey there... that's excellent. I can't wait to have a go! I would be quite interested to see you demonstrate this with draping - I'm a visual kinda gal...

I have issues with this area, and I would NOT (*corrected myself)think twice about how it looks if it helps. People like pain relief and mobility!!! Thanks for sharing! (I need to read before I share...lol)

Feels incredible

Love it. If only you were in Australia! If come see you for a shake for sure.

You are very talented. Great job.

Your amazing! Not crazy! God I need this so bad. My Lower back is so damaged from epidurals from childbirth. Some mornings are hell to get up from the lower back pains.
