› Forums › Back › Developing a protocol for SI Dysfunction to include management, risk mitigation, and rehab.
A little about myself I have been a full time police officer for 10 years and into fitness for approx. 17 years. I have two bulging discs L3-L4 and L5-S1. They are located essentially at the top of my duty belt and below my duty belt. One explanation I received is when I wear the belt it creates a simulated fusion causing the discs to wear out. It is such an issue some states have adopted laws making it workers comp related if you have a back injury on or off duty. The other issue I have developed seems to be the bear and that is SI Dysfunction. Sitting for long hours in a cruiser or desk and the weight and poor mechanics the belt creates in the hips i’m sure was one aggravating factor. I started CrossFit approximately 3 years ago and went from barely being able to deadlift 95 pounds without feeling like I was going to explode to deadlifting 400+. I still have had several relapses which I found to be very frustrating. I’ve been to physical therapy, studied some of the causes for SI Inflammation, and looked for indicators that lead up to the relapses. Since starting a CrossFit Gym a couple years ago and diving into the community I see these injuries more and more. I would like to pitch this idea to Mobility Wod to help me in developing a protocol for the community. This is what I practice and please critique. I will say i’m not a doctor or physical therapist. I may throw out some wrong names or describe areas versus the muscles and ligaments.
Sumo
Deadlift Reading the bodies indicators:
High
Risk Exercises: (Any lift with heavy weight can be high risk, what I use to
determine high risk are movements that I’ve seen commonly create
flare ups because of poor mechanics or hyper extension. Also because of the
immense stress it puts on the joint)
–Thrusters
– High Pull
-Box Jumps landing off the box
-Glute Ham Raises
– Pistols
Understanding
Risk versus reward and applying your body’s indicators towards scaling
your
workouts.
-Tight in the runners stretch caution with pulls from the floor.
– Is the person rehabbing the injury or feeling 100%. Are they
training to compete or just to be fitter and enjoy themselves. What is
their overall condition and last incident.
Swap thrusters for clean and jerk, step down from the box, swap ghr for bridges
paired up with light weight high rep
deadlift, trade pistols for high
box stepups.
Rehab:
Incident
occurs:
–Rest or cautiously roll top of glutes immediately
after the flare up.
-Apply Ice for 15 minutes on 15 minutes off.
-Rest if possible
-Following day attempt the management phase in
the morning and afternoon. It will take a few days to get full range of motion
back. Some movements will not be possible or the ability to hold them will be
short.
-Begin applying heat.
-Conduct standing or from the knee glute ham
raises through out the day.
-Returning to exercise focus on basic body weight
movements and work up to light weight movements.
-Give your posterior chain time to rest and
recover.
-As you feel better increase volume and weight.
