The “S.I.” or sacroiliac joint is an area in the lower back that can get painful or feel “pinched.”

There are numerous causes for pain in this area which can occur frequently in Jiu-Jitsu from playing a bottom guard position and getting stacked or compressed.

This area can also get irritated and painful from other activities such as improper lifting mechanics or prolonged sitting.

I share two variations that can be very useful and effective. The first one is using a bed or treatment table. The second variation is excellent when a table is not available and you are getting loosened up at a Jiu-Jitsu gym prior to training.

Give these a try, but remember that core and hip stability is also important in preventing the recurrence of symptoms, so check out some of the other videos to get ideas on strengthening.

The hip flexors are a muscle group that can get overworked and can be notoriously tight and painful in jiu-jitsu practitioners and in anyone that sits a lot throughout the day.

There are numerous ways to stretch the hip flexors, and this technique uses the extension of the hip by using the foam roller to stretch the hip flexor instead of the traditional lunge technique where the leg is stationary and the body lunges forward.

This is just a different way to elicit a stretch than the traditional means of stretching the hip flexor. This technique also requires increased control of the hip and leg to provide a comfortable and appropriate stretch.

I’m always trying to learn and explore new ways to get the most out of my body and to help preserve the body to allow for high level function and performance.

This one tip will make your recovery more effective and reduce tight muscles as well as stiff joint.

The key is to perform your recovery work within 15 minutes or less after you have completed your work out. The reason is simple, the muscles are still warm and more easily stretched out and moved.

Doing this will keep the muscle from getting so tight and will make your recovery more comfortable and more effective.

Is foam rolling good for recovery?

In my opinion, yes.

But foam rolling works differently than you think.

Foam rolling is effective on a neurological level where the pressure on your muscles gives your brain feedback to release the restricted area.

There is also a component of bringing blood flow to the area you are foam rolling, With blood flow you get oxygen and nutrition to your muscle which will essentiallly assist with recovery.

Most people agree that foam rolling is a better technique for after activity as a recovery tool. I personally have found benefit to foam rolling before and after BJJ or training as I feel the aspect of increased blood flow helps my muscles get warmed up and also the neurological component of foam rolling helps with the recovery and keeping my muscles from getting as tight after training.

Try it out and see what works for you, but keep in mind that foam rolling is a useful tool in addition to a complete recovery program.
