EP49 | Elli Acic - Your Lower Back Pain Might Be SIJ — Here’s What to Do!

In this eye-opening episode, we’re joined by physiotherapist and women’s strength advocate Elli Acic for a deep dive into the world of female training, movement, and injury prevention.Elli breaks down the truth about strength training for women—why lifting heavy is not only safe but critical for long-term health, confidence, and performance. We dive into the physiological benefits of weight training, debunk the myth that lifting will make you bulky, and explore how resistance training impacts everything from hormones to mental resilience.A major highlight of this episode is Elli’s breakdown of the SIJ (sacroiliac joint)—a commonly misunderstood source of pain in female clients. She explains why this joint plays such a crucial role in stability and movement, how dysfunction shows up in training, and the steps women can take to build strength around it. Whether you're a physio, PT, or just someone dealing with lower back or hip discomfort, this is a must-listen.We also touch on Elli’s journey as a coach and clinician, what she’s learned from working with hundreds of women, and how she's helping reshape the way we approach female-specific care in both the rehab and performance worlds.👉 Tap here to learn more or get started: dynamicrecov.com.au/offerYou can find her on socials:@physiorehabhealthGet in touch:Email: ⁠[email protected]⁠Instagram: ⁠@evolv_podcast⁠YouTube: ⁠The Evolv Podcast⁠TikTok: ⁠@evolv_podcast⁠Listen on Spotify: ⁠The Evolv Podcast⁠Listen on Apple Music: The Evolv Podcast
