SI joint pain

Created by Dr Sonia Rai, Modified on Thu, 10 Apr at 12:02 AM by Dr Sonia Rai

Muscle tension in the hip flexors (the iliacus and psoas) and the deep hip rotators (like the piriformis) can contribute to SI joint pain. These muscles attach directly to your lumbar spine, pelvis, SI joint, tailbone, and hips.


When tight or there are imbalances side to side, these muscles can pull and twist these areas out of alignment. This creates more tightness around the lower back and pelvis and can irritate or cause pain in the SI joints.


If tension in these areas is contributing to your SI joint pain, here's how our products can help.


Mark: releases the iliacus and psoas muscles with precise pressure

Orbit: releases the piriformis and other deep hip rotators in the glute region with broad pressure; can also be used to warm up the hip flexors before using the Mark

Band: helps strengthen key muscles around your core, glutes, and hips to create stability and reduce stress on the SI joint
Book: our Founder's book Tight Hip, Twisted Core - The Key to Unresolved Pain offers deeper insights into muscle tension and how it is impacting your pain, helping you understand how to address the root cause


When used consistently over time, the Aletha Health products support less muscle tension, better alignment, and increased strength & stability. This combination has helped many people improve their SI joint pain, and we hope it will help you too.


For best results, use the Aletha Health products together and alongside other stretches and exercises. Please check with your healthcare practitioner for which stretches and exercises are most appropriate for you.
