That lengthening of the sacrum is what is providing space between those lower back vertebrae and preventing loading up your lumbar spine.

If anyone has trouble with this, please message me and I'll do a free Zoom so we can figure out why you're having pain.
I just might take you up on this! I didn't mean to imply that Essentrics caused my pain, it just seemed to exacerbate the pain I was already having if that makes sense? I feel like my SI joint pops in and out at times especially if I'm getting out of the car or standing up from sitting. I've been sticking to episode 1020 back pain relief which is all floor and that seems to help... But I think my issues are weak stabilizing muscles including core, as well as an SI joint that is a little bit hyper mobile. I figure that is due to the stress of three pregnancies and long-standing muscle weaknesses, diastasis recti causing me to have no abdominal support, etc. I found Annie Pilates physical therapy on YouTube and she has an SI joint video that is really good too. I've been trying to avoid the pelvic " shearing " that lunge positions create which is why I've stuck to floor exercises right now, and also it's easier for me to access my glute muscles when I'm not standing. My quads want to take over.

Not meaning to hijack the thread or anything... I did have the same problems with Jessica, I just didn't understand why at the time. This might be why her strength routines in particular have never jived with me very well.
