She has been told that the coccyx is now facing upward instead of down, and has been on a waiting list at a public hospital to have an operation to rectify this. Is there any exercises that could help her, apart from core strengthening, difficult to activate these muscsles as it places pressure on the broken coccyx and she also has separation of the rectus abdominus.

I can understand your frustration with SIJ pain, it is commonly underdiagnosed. One reason is that some practitioners do not believe that there is such a condition. The SIJ is an inherently strong structure with strong ligaments holding the joint firmly, with very minimal movements available, hence usually a trauma will "destabilise" it which in your case was a fall. <br>All the best! :) Hi Linda,

Although I fell down a flight of stairs more than 10 years ago, I only started having 'back ache' about three years ago. I visited so many physio's and orthopedic surgeons. Why did none of them consider an unstable SIJ? Not only was it expensive but also painful. Lieing down was agony. Since starting Pilates the improvement has been tremendous. I would strongly advise Pilates for unstable pelvis sufferers. Thank you for this page, it has been an excellent help. I am a 37 year old female and was recently diagnosed with unstable SIJ's.
