Chiropractic Injury, Part 2: Saturday

I once met a physical therapist who believed that one of the keys to healing my SI joints would be to increase the mobility of my thoracic spine. She introduced me to the Feldenkrais Method, which is pretty cool. Basically you use a system of mental cues and visualizations to help the nervous system access new movement patterns. ✨ According to the Feldenkrais website, it’s “about exploring learning strategies. If you have difficulty with on side, you can work with the other side. If you can’t lie down, you can sit. And even if nothing moves, you can work with your imagination, creating new neural links that can improve your quality of life.” ✨ It wasn’t the only thing I needed to learn in order to heal, but I DO think it’s a useful tool to have.

You may not think of sitting as a strenuous activity, but for the SI joints, it can be! These joints play a pivotal role in how our weight is distributed as we sit, and how stress travels throughout our body. Just found a great video from a PT that explains more— link ☝🏼 in my bio above! #sijoint #sijointdysfunction #pelvicpain #sacroiliacjoint #sacroiliacjointdysfunction #sacroiliitis

A few people have mentioned lumbar fusion surgery to me recently, as a possible cause for their SI joint dysfunction. I just found the perfect video from a neurosurgeon that addresses this exact issue! The short answer is yes— when you restrict the motion of the spine, the SI joints may compensate by becoming MORE mobile.
