What got me interested in Sacroiliac joint strain & piriformis syndrome…

The first time I suffered sacroiliac strain and piriformis syndrome pain, I had set myself up for the problem by doing many hours of skate-style cross-country skiing. This tightened the muscles in front of and behind the hip joint and set me up for a sudden SI joint sprain.

My acute injury was from standing on the pedals while doing Sprint intervals on a rental bicycle. This caused four months of misery. 

The second time I suffered the same problem, I set myself up with tight muscles with six months of training and competing in sprint hurdles. (I’m doing this in my mid-60s; an exciting challenge). A day of waiting in airports, followed by a short sharp race at an interprovincial competition, triggered my symptoms, which went on to worsen over the next two days.

The pain is just moderately severe the second time around and well on the mend after four days. I knew it was time to share my sacroiliac joint strategies, and here they are!…
