Hi Lynn! I have a question expanding on one of the quiz questions – “The side-lying ilium technique is best to use when a client complains of hip pain when laying on their side. (True).” I watched the video twice for more information on this, and either missed it twice, or it’s not expounded upon in this specific video. So, if a client has unilateral pain say in right hip when lying on right side, would you treat lying in left side first? Or vice versa?
I am having a hard time visualizing the ilium and ishium “unwinding”. Can you expand on this? I am assuming the unwinding is either coming from the SI joint, the pubic symphysis or both?
If you took the ilium and ischium and disconnected it from the pelvis and looked at is as one bone, image the iliac crest twisting in one direction and the ischium going in another direction so the twist is actually around the acetabulum. It’s not a true twist but energetically I can sometimes feel the bones doing this. When you compress the iliac crest and the ischium towards each other then you can follow their motion and see if anything unwinds.

I have them lay on the side that is not in pain. Treat the painful side up with this technique.
