About
Why this exists
Sacroiliac joint pain is common, confusing, and often poorly explained. Standard advice frequently focuses on stretching, alignment, or vague strengthening without addressing the underlying control and load-transfer problems.
This site offers a different lens: not anatomical diagnosis, but systems analysis. It focuses on how force moves through the body, what happens when timing or capacity fails, and how to rebuild tolerance through graded exposure.
The approach emerged from personal experience, research, trial and error, and learning from people who understand load management and motor control. See Tiger Walk for that context.
What this site is
- A free, non-commercial educational resource
- Plain-language explanations of pain patterns through a systems lens
- Practical self-checks and interventions with clear dosing and stop rules
- Frameworks for thinking about problems that haven't resolved with standard approaches
What this site is not
- Not medical advice or a substitute for professional evaluation
- Not diagnostic: only qualified healthcare providers can diagnose conditions
- Not selling anything: no courses, coaching, supplements, or affiliate links
- Not making universal claims: responses vary, and some people need different approaches
- Not promoting self-treatment as a replacement for medical care when indicated
