Article on SI Joint Pain

Just read a great article in Yoga Journal about Sacro-Iliac joint pain while researching more about what not to do when a pregnant woman suffers from pubic symphysis diastasis. It seems that the condition is aggravated when pregnant women stand for long periods of time and do exercises that would further destabilize the pelvis. Exercises that one should not do include split leg exercises that hurt. Keep doing pelvic tilts and Kegels, with an emphasis on the release part, not the tension part, to keep those pelvic floor muscles strong.
I haven't seen the belts, but there are also belts that can be purchased online to help stabilize the pubic bone into the spine. Maybe someone can create a belt that sounds a little more cool and less like an old school period pad (which is still what is used in places like Sri Lanka and India.)
