The sacroiliac joint is an area that remains contentious despite all of the research that’s taken place and in this episode, we are chatting to Wilfried Simon, an osteopath and physio from Belgium about the misconceptions, if it can be a cause of pain and what to do if it is KEY TAKEAWAYS It’s a connection point but there isn’t much movement, only 3 degrees and its deep within the spine If you want the patient to be able to treat themselves and achieve autonomy they have to understand what’s wrong When you have manipulation it’s about what it creates overall including how the person thinks about it Identify the movement that is painful and work with the patient to make the movement less sensitive through changing the axis of the movement and building the confidence of the patient to complete movements Trust the future and the process, not very day is the same, not every day is pain free but that’s what make the patient stronger and you stronger BEST MOMENTS ‘It’s important to treat the person not the problem’ ‘There is aways a combination of what’s happening mechanically to the joint and how the patient perceives and feels about what’s happening’ RESOURCES FOR THIS EPISODE https://www.instagram.com/the.spine.physio/?hl=en THE BACK PAIN PODCAST PROVIDER MAP - FINDING SOMEONE TO HELP YOU WITH YOUR BACK PAIN https://thebackpainpodcast.com/index.php/members-map/ VALUABLE RESOURCES The Back Pain Podcast The Back Pain Podcast website The Back Pain Podcast recommended products affiliate link Our Rode Mixer https://amzn.to/3waU8bx Our Microphones https://amzn.to/3rzSZ9Z Second Microphone https://amzn.to/2ObKMeA XLR Cable https://amzn.to/3rBL8ZB Studio Headphones https://amzn.to/3u082LE Laptophttps://amzn.to/3dhfafT Our webcam https://amzn.to/31uUefQ  The Healthcare Co Polos - https://www.thehealthcare-co.com/en-gb ABOUT THE HOSTS Dave Elliott Dave is the owner of Advanced Chiropractic, a chain of Chiropractic and massage therapy clinics in Essex, UK.
