π« Stop doing these hip drills for SI joint pain.
All fours leg lifts. One-leg balancing drills.
The stuff you see all over YouTube and Instagram.
To be honest - it's overcomplicated and it's not fixing the actual problem.
Here's what's really happening:
If you're right-handed, every time you swing, throw or even pick something up off the floor - your hips
rotate LEFT and hip hike to the RIGHT. That's 30-40 years of the same rotation pattern loading your
SI joint every single day.
β
The real fix is simpler than you think:
Stand on your non-dominant leg. All your weight on it.
Knee center of your foot. Foot slightly turned in.
Punch forward - and feel how WEAK that side is compared to your dominant side.
That weakness is the root cause of your SI joint pain.
Train that side. Correct the imbalance.
Take the pressure off for good.
This is Phase 2 of the CoreXcell 2-phase SI joint protocol - and it only works AFTER the Phase 1
foundation is built.

If you have SI joint pain - this is why.
Every swing, every throw, every rotation goes the same way for 10, 20, 30 years. Your dominant-side hip flexorsand core get overdeveloped. Your non-dominant side TVA, groin and glute medius get weaker and weaker.
The result? Your pelvis tilts. Your SI joint gets loaded every single time you move.
Most people stretch. Some get adjusted. Neither works long term because neither fixes the actual imbalance.
β
What works:
Training the transverse abdominals, groin and hip flexor on your NON-dominant side - the exercises in this video (and more details in our App) π https://corexcell.com/app
Once that weakness is corrected, the pelvis comes back into alignment and the SI joint pressure drops.

π Getting adjusted for SI joint pain every few weeks - and it keeps coming back?
Here's what nobody is telling you.
A chiro adjustment moves the joint. But if your glute medius, hip flexors and core are weak and imbalanced, those muscles pull it straight back out of alignment within hours or days.
The adjustment doesn't hold because the muscular foundation isn't there to support it.
It's like straightening a door with a broken hinge - it looks fixed until you use it again.
β
The real fix:
Build the muscular foundation FIRST - glute medius, hip flexors, TVA on your non-dominant side. Once those are strong, the alignment holds on its own. No repeat adjustments needed.
This is Phase 1 of the CoreXcell 2-phase SI joint protocol.

π« Your PT gave you clamshells for SI joint pain?
That's exactly why you're still hurting.
Clamshells, bridges, and band walks all load your piriformis and TFL - the muscles already overworking and pulling your pelvis out of alignment.
You're not fixing the problem. You're making it worse.
β
What actually works:
Training your glute medius with the hip DOWN - not rotating.
Feel it in the upper glute only. Totally different movement, totally different result.
This is Phase 1 of the 2-phase SI joint protocol we use at CoreXcell to get athletes and everyday people out of pain for good - no surgery, no injections.

Your shin splints aren't a shin problem.
Most people stretch, ice, and rest - and the shin splints keep coming back. Here's why: your soleus (the deep calf muscle) is almost certainly underdeveloped, and it's putting all that stress directly onto your shin bone.
In this clip, Zack shows exactly how he identifies the issue with a real client and what he does to fix it - including the seated calf raise technique most trainers skip entirely.
No fluff. No generic advice. Just the real reason you're still in pain and what to actually do about it.

π¨ Shin splints? You can fix this on your stairs tonight.
The donkey calf raise targets your soleus - the deep calf muscle most athletes never develop.
And it's one of the key missing pieces for eliminating shin splints for good.
Zack walks Katy through the exact technique:
β
Hips high, lean forward
β
Butt behind your heels
β
20-30 reps, make it burn
β
Shin hurts? Don't go as deep
Zero equipment. Can be done at home. Tonight.

The fix π
πΉ Roll the shoulder BACK and DOWN
πΉ Elbow OUT, hand IN
πΉ Cover your chest - feel that trap light up
Simple. Effective. And yes - it works.

π¨ Shin splints that won't go away? Stop doing tib raises.

One session at CoreXcell β pain improving.
6 weeks β zero shin splints.
Districts β she WON the 400m. π
In today's episode Zack works live with one of his client - a former D1 softball player - breaking down the exact glute activation protocol that fixes shin splints at the root.
The answer was never in her shin. π

If you're a rotational athlete - baseball, golf, tennis - and your hip flexor keeps flaring up, this one's for you. ποΈβΎπΎ
Most athletes treat both sides the same. But here's the truth: your dominant and non-dominant legs fail in completely different ways. Training them the same keeps you stuck in the same injury cycle.
In our latest video, we break down exactly what's happening on each side - and what you actually need to strengthen to fix it for good.
What you'll learn:
β Why your dominant leg keeps straining through the adductor chain
β Why your non-dominant side pulls through the sartorius & TFL instead
β Where your glute weakness really is (it's not where you think)
β The single-leg training approach that stops the cycle
