It really depends on the type of problems you are having. Diastases issue? The recommendation is a standard pregnancy belt. If you are having pelvic and sacral instability then an SI belt is probably recommended. They do make a modified verson of the two molded into one such as this one. Hope that helps a bit.

I actually have a form of both. Feel free to PM me if you have more questions.

This is the belt I use and my Physiotherapist wears this one too (she's also hypermobile which is why she specializes in it)...

It works best if you wear it against your skin, under your underwear and clothes. It fits best under sweatpants or loose pants. Mine doesn't fit under jeans or pants without stretch. The Physio told me NEVER to wear it while sleeping or lying down, but you can wear it the rest of the time... especially while sitting on the couch for long periods or while doing housework or grocery shopping, etc. Don't make it too tight, just snug. Give the belt at least a week, adjust it slightly up or down, or tighter or looser until you find a spot that feels comfortable. Some days I wear mine a bit higher, some days a bit lower. If you have Salonpas gel or patches, or Biofreeze, or IcyHot.. try rubbing it on all the spots that hurt the most. The tingly cold feeling helps distract from the pain, if nothing else. Ice packs are good and heating pads.

I’m not sure where you live, but in the US doctors are not taught much about SI joints. I have found that the Orthopedic surgeons never really consider anything but your spine. It’s as if the pelvis doesn’t exist to them. I was checked for a labral tear as well, but there was nothing on the MRIs/Xrays. If you can find a Physiatrist/Osteopathic doctor they would be the ones to know about SI joints and hypermobility and can probably refer you to the right kind of physical therapist. I hope you find some pain relief soon!

I have problems with my hips as well, and what helps most is an SI belt like this. This is the brand I have, but I'm sure there are other kinds available around the world. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000R3KN9S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_Dx.RzbF3B85KS

A knee brace would probably also be helpful. It probably doesn't need to be anything big and bulky. For me, a simple Patellar Tendon strap like this helps. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000F5R4R2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_Ol.RzbJ40Z9SP

I know you probably won't be able to find these exact products, but hopefully it gives you an idea of what to look for.

Beyond bracing, physical therapy is usually the biggest help. Strengthening the muscles helps them be able to hold the joints in place and compensate for loose joints / ligaments. These are usually going to be different exercises than the kinds of things you would be doing while lifting weights at the gym. For me, many of the exercises I do involve lying on a mat and using an exercise ball (for things related to my hips) or using exercise bands (for my shoulders). I've heard that exercising in the water is also good because it's easier on the joints, but I haven't tried that.

I had this around 17 weeks, primarily on the right side and could barely walk. I wore a si-loc hip belt I found on amazon 24/7, did some core strengthening, went to chiro and acupuncture, and it eased up and went away completely after a couple weeks. 37 weeks now and so thankful for just regular general aches and pains. I remember sobbing to my husband terrified that the pain wouldn't go away! I'm so sorry and I hope yours resolves soon!
