Im at my final run of my 9 weeks of “cutting” and obviously an injury had to happen, I played pretty intense 3 hour basketball session on sunday and on monday I woke up with hip; side and lower back pain that slammed me to bed for the next to da ys. I went to the chyro and apparently my left and to a lesser extent right sacroiliac spasmed and ightened up so much that they pull my L-5 and also impair my hipo mobility.
I want to know some treatment if you can or how to avoid this, my chiro never seen anything like it…
Also Im reposting my routine if you can find any sacroiliac stress imbalance whatever…
training 3-5 days a week
all 3-5 sets of 3-6 reps
A
Power clean
Squat
Bench
Abs
B
Deadlift compound
push press
calves
OH walk
C
chin up

triceps or biceps
Hey GS,
There’s been a couple of recent threads about low back issues (one was Tampa-Terry’s “Squatting Problems”, can’t remember the names of the others) that went into some of the stuff you’re looking for. I, too, have a chronic SI joint sprain and those threads had a lot of useful info pertaining to it.
Sorry, just didn’t feel like searching, cutting and pasting it all over again.
I am not to clear on what you mean by sacroiliac is “spasmed” There is no sacroillac muscle, but there is a joint by that name. You could find a deep tissue massage expert, that is trained in rolfing or NMT, since there are not ART guys around. I could help more if I could see and feel you in person, but I live on Kauai.
Make sure you are stretching the hip flexor/rectus region, along with the external hip rotators. My dicey back starts in the right pirifomis which leads to a right si sprain soon enough.
glut-spanker, sounds like you have SIJ dysfunction - a shift between your sacrum and the ilium. This could be an upslip/downslip, anterior/posterior tilt etc. etc. of only a few millimetres or more which can irritate surrounding tissues. A Remedial therapist (that’s me) , Osteopath or Chiropractor should be able to help using MET - muscular energy techniques - a contract and relax stretching technique specific to a joint, or direct maniplulations (thrusts-HVLA) to put things back in place. You may have some biomechanical deficiencies that helped to cause this problem, although 3 hours of basketball is a long time. The L5 vertebra change could well be a secondary effect.
