Sherri, Thanks for the reply. I’m not sure what you mean by "asis closer to the foot.” How do you feel/know which side is closer? Do you mean the side that dips more closer to the floor/foot while lying supine or even standing? I’ve been told that my hip is anterior on the right (hiked hip) but when I did your tests in the beginning of the tutorial to see which side was sticky, I found that my right side was stickier. So I believe I would have the opposite of Amy’s issues even though her right side is anterior and posterior left. Perhaps my body has changed. I’m actually doing some PT with Egoscue and will share the technique with her. I did it with the left leg over the pole and my hips feel stable and leveled. Since starting egoscue, I think I’m a lot more stable but still have some work to do. Thanks for your insight and advice!

Great tutorial! You did such a marvelous job explaining the moves...all I could think was I wish I could've jumped into your studio to receive your expert help! As I'm recently suffering from my unstable pelvis issues, I will seriously revisit stabilization progression to get myself more evenly balanced! It is definitely often overlooked! What an excellent job you did teaching it and explaining it for Pilates instructors, Sherri! I tip both my hats off to you!! PTA and PI! :) Looking forward to watching more of your tutorials! Thank you!

Love, love loved this tutorial. Having suffered from SI issues for years, I have learned these MET/shotgun techniques from fabulous PTs. I have taught these to clients and do on myself (actually using the magic circle). I love how you bring this to Pilates teachers to help their clients. I believe clients should be empowered to treat their own bodies. So much reliance on chiropractors, so much $$ spent. Thank you for making this simple, educational, and empowering.

Hi Sherri,
Thanks for the great tutorial. I have a client who is significantly overweight and struggles to anchor the obliques when lifting the legs to table top position inspite of me having used lots of different imagery and cues. I'd appreciate any advice you can offer to help me.
Thanks :)

Hi Saleha,
I would suggest propping your client on a pillow or better yet a wedge cushion (often called a bed pillow). Then ask her to anchor the back of the ribs down to the mat or anchor the kidneys to the mat. See how that goes and good luck to you!

Sherri, do you ever do extended, hands on workshops like this for both instructors and practitioners? I certainly plan on watching several more times to extract more info but definitely could benefit from a full on immersion! Because THIS is my personal Achilles heel. ;)

Thank you SO much. I am dealing with this personally for years and have had a hard time making the fix "stick"
This will help immensely. I find as well much of this is what I have spotted and do with clients - now I will tweak the protocol and stick with it. Love the process for the adjustment.

Very helpful. Thank you so much.

I've also struggled with left SI for years (even more so with a now 16 month old getting heavier!) and simple and effective exercises such as these to focus on alignment make the world of difference. Very clear explanation of why for each exercise too which is of course helpful. Thanks tons.

HI Miriam,
I have done workshops on treating the SI joint in the past. You are welcomed to come visit us at TheraPilates in Santa Cruz and observe patient treatments. We treat patients regularly with pelvic girdle dysfunction.
