Sacroiliac joint pain is frustrating
If you’ve been dealing with a consistent and persistent Sacroiliac Joint Pain, you know how frustrating it can be.
Especially since you have had some modest short term gains. You have figured out some tricks and tools to adjust or get some relief.
But that sharp stabbing pain, it still comes back. That radiating pain around the hip, pelvis or lower back, it doesn’t quite completely settle.
It’s time to try something different
You’ve stretched your hips 12 different ways. You’ve strengthened your core. You’ve watched countless sacroiliac joint videos on YouTube and faithfully done all of the exercises.
You’ve read about the relationship between your inner and outer core, your adductors and piriformis, your glutes, QL and obliques. You’ve stretched what you have been told is tight, and strengthened what you have been told is weak
And you do feel stronger… in some ways. But any release you experience from the pain is only temporary. The longterm healing you seek remains stubbornly
I was one of those yoga teachers who thought pain was normal. After learning from Susi, I felt different - almost weird - because I had no pain.
Key Functions of the SI Joints in Movement:
Shock Absorption & Force Transmission
- The SI joints help distribute forces from the spine to the pelvis and legs, reducing stress on the lower back.
Stability with Mobility
- Though the SI joints have limited motion (nutation and counternutation), they provide a foundation for proper movement patterns.
Core & Pelvic Integration
- Engaging the core, glutes, and deep stabilizers enhances SI joint function, preventing dysfunction and pain.
Optimizing SI Joint Function for Pure Movement:
- Strengthening & Mobility Work: Exercises like bridges, pelvic tilts, and deep core engagement maintain SI joint health.
- Alignment Awareness: Proper posture and gait mechanics prevent excessive strain.
- Manual Therapy & Movement Therapy: Techniques such as myofascial release and functional movement training enhance SI joint function.
Are you doomed to suffer this pain for the rest of your life?
The short answer is NO.
Think of the pain in your sacroiliac joints as big loudspeakers.
And the persistency of the pain is letting you know – loud and clear – that something is up.
That the short term relief you have experienced is superficial, or surface; and there is another problem – that when resolved will lead to more significant, meaningful and more complete change.
Said another way – where the pain is, is not the actual problem, it is an expression of the problem. The actual problem lies under your awareness.
This is why you haven’t been able to resolve your issue completely.
You can’t change anything you aren’t aware of.
Which is why you can get short term relief but not long term change.
Or why what used to work, no longer does.
To get to a longer term solution, you need to address the issue that actually exists.
Otherwise, over time, if the actual issue isn’t resolved, your body will become more fatigued and tighter. Blood flow can reduce, trigger points develop, and the pain around your sacroiliac joints will likely persist and/or radiate.
This is where I can help
I have worked with a lot of people over the years who have tried “everything” to resolve their SI Joint issues pain, without lasting success.
I have helped them improve their awareness and gain the clarity on the actual problem.
To help them – and you, if you find yourself in the same frustrating situation – I have created an online program designed to teach you how to recognize and retrain the underlying biomechanical patterns and say goodbye to the pain once and for all.
Online training includes:
- Anatomy and Mechanics of the Psoas. You’ll understand what the Psoas is and how it impacts other regions of your body and how other regions impact it.
- The Subtle, Sacred and Powerful Nature of the Psoas. No other myofascial structure is quite like the psoas. You'll learn why and how this is important for your recovery.
- Why the Psoas is the Queen of Compensation. And how to tell when that compensation is helping or harming you.
- How to recognize compensation patterns. And what you can do about them.
- How to retrain your full body so the Psoas doesn't have to compensate. This is when you will start to feel so much better.
- How To Choose The Best Exercises For Yourself. To help you ease pain, and feel taller, lighter, and more free.

Susi is an exceptional coach. If you want to work with one of the best, if you want to work with someone who really wants you to succeed, if you want to work with someone who truly walks the walk and talks the talk, work with Susi. She really knows what she is doing.
You need to solve the problem that exists, not the problem you think exists
A key piece to recovering from pain is becoming aware and getting really clear on what is working and not working and then how to make the necessary change.
Meet Susi Hately, your instructor
I have a BSC. Kinesiology and have been helping people reduce and eradicate pain for 25 years. I have also been a bridge between the medical world and yoga.
Two of my programs have been studied at the University of Calgary and both showed benefit for supporting people and their wellbeing. I am also the author and presenter of I Love Anatomy and Anatomy for Yoga Therapists.
I have been training teachers and health professionals in yoga therapy since 2001 and am the lead teacher in the highly successful C-IAYT Accredited Functional Synergy Yoga Therapy Program.
As a young student of yoga, I began to combine the ancient practices of yoga with my BSc. Kinesiology at a Vancouver pain clinic. When I continued to encounter individuals, including yoga instructors, who accepted that their pain was “normal,” I began to explore how yoga was being taught and practiced. By designing therapy programs that utilized sound anatomical principles of kinesiology with the time-honoured practices of gentle yoga, I have enabled people to find pain relief, feel good, and rediscover vitality in their lives.
I've been practicing all the principles + after doing a 60-90 minute practices all week + moving w/ease + breath, I feel like I’ve just been moving + breathing, I don’t feel like I’ve “practiced.” Prior to this course usually something is hurting, strained, overused, but I’ve interpreted it as “I’ve worked out.” It’s just so strange to go thru my day + night “pain free” …..that I feel like I haven’t “done” anything….so my brain is catching up with the novelty that I can do a strong practice + not feel pain. AND I am making progress in areas where I was weak /tight/both or lacked mobility. Hope you understand what I’m saying, it’s just plain weird to not have twinges, tension during or after “practice”.
