Hello everyone!

I’m visiting Greece for the first time next week!

We land on May the 10th, spend 3 nights in Santorini. 3 nights in Milos, 5 nights in Crete and 3 nights in Zakynthos.

We are flying to Santorini and Zakynthos (via Athens) but taking the ferry for in between.

We are hiring a car in Crete and staying in Chania.

We love all things outdoors, would love some beach/walk/activity recommendations!

TIA

Hi everyone,

I seem to have ongoing issues with my SI joint. I’ve seen a physio and it got better, mostly from strengthening my abductors and adductors. But since then (over the last 7 months) I feel like the left side (injury side) has gotten really inflamed. I’ll roll my lower back, glute and around the hip (glute medius) with a ball and it provides good relief. But I don’t feel like I’m addressing the issue, only relieving the pain.

I tend to deadlift with my left foot forward by a couple cm’s. If I try to set my feet even, I struggle to bend my knees in unison and overall it just doesn’t work and I am sooo much weaker

I’m wondering a few things:

  1. ⁠Is it okay that one foot is slightly forward of the other in my deadlift set up? Or am I encouraging my body to become more twisted?

  2. ⁠Are there any exercises that are considered gold standard for SIJ injury recovery and prevention?

  3. ⁠Is any form of manipulation actually useful? I’m personally not a big believer in manipulations. But I do feel sooo twisted and I’m wondering if there would be any benefit to seeing an osteopath

Appreciate any help! TIA
