Can swimming help unlock an si joint?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: It may, but it also may make it worse. Ligament laxity may be the reason it occurs. Swimming is considered the exercise of choice when you want to take gravity out of the equation. Someone versed in structural manipulation should be able to assist. An osteopath, chiropractor, or physical therapist can show you exercises to assist. Usually you need an extra set of hands to accomplish.
