SI CLUB AND HOW TO GET STABILITY BACK
So much of yoga seems to be focused on hip opening and yet what we seem to forget is that before we do this, it really does help to have a kinesthetic sense of alignment and stability in the pelvis and hip sockets else we run the risk of ignoring the signals of the body and potentially over-stretching the ligaments.
The Pelvic Reset is a cornerstone to Donna Farhi’s work, however she says its origins are as a self-help osteopathic technique to realign and stabilise the pelvis so that the femurs are centered in their sockets.
It’s key benefits are
Realigns/Stabilises pelvis
Facilitates resolution of SIJ* and lower back pain
Rebalances hypermobile SIJ
This practice uses the technique of rhythmical isometric muscle contraction to reposition the pelvic bones. It can decompress a compressed SIJ and awaken the ‘ligamentous’ memory of joint snugness in a hypermobile SIJ.
* Sacroiliac Joint
Mobilising the Hips is a practice that can be done following the Pelvic Reset.
It’s key benefits are
Improves hip mobility and lengthens the hamstrings
Improves spinal health by removing the “pull” on the spine from tight hip joints
May bring the pelvis back into a centered position to support good posture and greater ease in walking
This is a highly accessible practice for all bodies. It can be practiced as a way to bring greater ease into the hips and spine.
