How to exercise after sacroiliac joint reduction

Generally, after sacroiliac joint reduction, exercises such as seated squats, bridging, and abdominal contractions can be performed to promote recovery. Specific details are as follows:

1. Seated Squat

Sit on the edge of a chair with feet shoulder-width apart. Hold onto the armrests with both hands, then slowly lower your body by bending your knees until your buttocks lift off the seat, followed by slowly standing back up. This exercise helps strengthen the muscles in the thighs and buttocks.

2. Bridging Exercise

Lie flat on the floor with knees bent and arms at your sides. Lift your hips upward until your back and buttocks form a bridge-like shape. Hold this position for several seconds, then slowly lower your hips back down. This movement helps strengthen the muscles in the lower back and buttocks.

3. Abdominal Contraction

Lie flat on the floor with knees bent and hands placed across your chest. Gradually contract your abdominal muscles to lift your head, shoulders, and upper back off the ground. Hold the position briefly, then slowly return to the starting position. This exercise strengthens the abdominal muscles.

In addition, single-leg standing exercises can also be beneficial. After sacroiliac joint reduction, exercises should primarily focus on strengthening the muscles of the lower back, buttocks, and thighs, while avoiding excessive loading or overactivity. It is recommended to perform these exercises under the guidance of a qualified physician or physical therapist.
