Managing Sacroiliac Joint Problems with Ehlers-Danlos & Hypermobility

The sacroiliac joint is one of the most common problem areas for people with Ehlers-Danlos or even anyone with hypermobility but it’s also one of the most misunderstood and misdiagnosed areas.

I have been working with Shant from Strength Revolution (@strength.revolution on instagram) for the past 3 years to manage the SIJ pain caused by my Ehlers-Danlos/hypermobility.

Shant’s protocols have helped me come out on top of bodybuilding competition prep, powerlifting competition prep, and training through many flare ups - and this is exactly what we are discussing in this podcast taken from a recent Instagram Live we did together.

Over the years I’ve also sent him plenty of EDS clients and I’m stoked with the results I’ve seen them get.

In this live we discuss: 

• Why the SIJ is such a problem for people with hypermobility
• Why it’s such a poorly understood & misdiagnosed area
• How hypermobile people need a different/ongoing approach to rehab
• Common symptoms of SIJ dysfunction
• Suggested approaches for SIJ rehab in hypermobile individuals
