A patient came in who has been complaining about right-side sacroiliac joint pain. It’s been a chronic issue for her so I give her just three exercises to do. Because she loves doing child’s pose, I kept that one, then added a child’s pose with a Figure 4 stretch to loosen the hips, and suggested a classic clamshell exercise to strengthen her abductors. Doing strengthening and stretching exercises together will help rehabilitate her hip, along with her regular adjustments. I always say, “You’re with your body more than I am,” so doing daily exercise, even for just three minutes, can have a cumulative effect on your health.
