Hi, I'm Jennifer Raby, STOTT certified, master Pilates instructor at Body Kinetics, Mill Valley, California. I'm going to demonstrate Pilates exercises for sacroiliac joint or SI joint pain. The first one is called push through bar, foot press on push through bar. To begin I'm in neutral spine with my feet centered in the middle of the bar. I inhale slowly, I'm going to bring the bar towards me and on the exhale my legs are going to come up as I lift the pelvis up off the mat. This is a nice exercise for SI joint pain because it allows some mobility within the joint without creating any compression or pain. I bring the bar back down, slowly, inhale and exhale back to neutral spine. My legs go forward. You can repeat this five to eight times, inhale, exhale, lifting the bar with control, good, coming back down, finding neutral, releasing that SI joint and exhale the bar forward. It's very nice because it creates again, nice mobility within the joint without compressing it. I'm Jennifer Raby, and you can find me at Jenraby.com.
