Just curious if any of you have strained your SI joint and llio lumbar ligament. I read that if not properly rehabilitated then there is a high chance it can lead to chronic back pain so I'm petrified now. Just wondering how to ease back into exercise safely. Any help would be great thank you.

    Rehabilitate it properly with the help of a physical therapist who knows what they're doing. :)

    1) Keep moving! Fear of movement is one of the highest predictors of developing chronic pain. Don't go crazy, but get out and walk, stretch, etc.

    2) Go see a physical therapist. They can set you up with the best way to get back to recovery. The sooner you go the better! You can even see if you live in a direct access state, which would allow you to go to a physical therapist without a physician referral (you can call your local physical therapy office to find out).

    Good luck! Don't stress to much about it.

    Yeah I have had a fear of moving. Didn't realise I could stretch though. The chiropractor just said go for a walk. Can't even work. I have a very strenuous job so have had to take some time off.
