In this episode of The Soft Tissue OT Podcast, we dive deep into one of the most misunderstood sources of low back and pelvic pain — the sacroiliac joint (SIJ).
We start by breaking down the common signs and symptoms of SIJ dysfunction and why it's often misdiagnosed or missed altogether. Then, we reveal what most people — even many clinicians — get wrong about SIJ issues, and why a surface-level approach often leads to poor outcomes.
You’ll also learn about the critical importance of force-coupling — the coordinated activation of specific muscles to stabilize the SIJ — and why simply stretching or strengthening is never enough without proper patterning.
Finally, we guide you through the principles of correct SIJ rehabilitation: what needs to be done, what mistakes to avoid, and how to truly restore stability and function.
Whether you're a clinician, a student, or someone dealing with stubborn low back or pelvic pain, this episode will give you a clear roadmap.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
