SI Joint Pain - An Updated Approach

Here is the clinical story of a client that is presenting with pain/sensitivity in the area of the (R) posterior pelvis.  A common area of symptoms for many patients. But there are many potential drivers and the need to differentially diagnose is crucial.   Why? Because you won't want to miss the hidden connections that are so often present in patients, that when missed, can make the difference between a successful outcome and a patient who walks away unhappy.  In this episode, we discuss what has been unhelpful for her with regard to past interventions and why the biopsychosocial approach and creating the therapeutic alliance are so important to give her the ability to improve her movement system. Meaningful activities, violating expectations, and movement system changes were key to her healing journey.   A glance at this episode: [1:35] History of the patient [5:30] Digging deeper to find the driver [9:19] Lifestyle changes that work [15:00] Establishing an alliance to explore fears [25:30] Making the evaluation meaningful to the patient [33:23] The reset exercise [37:33] The problem with a sagittal plane squat   Related links: Tough To Treat Website Erica's Course: Decoding the Complex Patient Susan's Pelvic Health Education Subscription Access the Transcript
