@moveu: Here are some of Dr. Mike’s massage tips for when you’re dealing with someone with facet or SI joint pain or stenosis. LMTs, we know you aren’t fans of how the good doctor gets in there with his thumbs, so here is your PSA: He’s AOK! Working from the area of discomfort, drop the legs down and laterally bend them away from the area to create space. Start at the top of the hip crest and work up to the ribs to release the QL muscle. Continue that path up and out on the muscle. You can also add a stretch at the end by tractioning the hands away from one another to create space. The overall goal when dealing with someone with joint pain is to work the muscle and the joints to decompress the area. Want lasting relief?
