HOW TO RELEASE TENSION IN THE SI JOINT. 
⠀
The Sacroiliac (SI) joint functions by transferring weight and forces between the upper body and legs. It's basically the union where the tailbone meets the hipbone. It's required to do a lot of work, and over time can build up a lot of tension and discomfort.⠀
One of the most common causes of an SI joint issue is from muscle imbalance in the lower body. This causes bad movement into the joint, resulting in ligament strains. So let's tackle this. ⠀
With this exercise, it'll focus on working muscles around the SI joint to help 'reset' it. This should allow for a lot of that built up strain to be released, improving flexibility and helping to get rid of discomfort in the area. ⠀
⠀
HOW TO DO THE RESET:⠀
Start with the knees elevated and straight with the hips.
Grab onto one knee and push away while pulling the other knee towards.⠀
Take a deep breath and slowly exhale while pushing/pulling. ⠀
Hold for 5 seconds then switch push/pull directions.
Repeat 3 to 5 times.⠀
⠀
Give it a try and get those sacroiliac joints feeling better.
