I failed physical therapy. I was doing pool therapy. I felt more and more pain. The therapist told me when I come out of the flare come back. I told her I've been in it for two years I don't think its going away. She gave me stretches to do at home. They are low impact. I told her I walked a mile everyday. She told me to cut back to a quarter of a mile for a month and then if I felt ok to increase slowly for another month. But even when I am on the computer I do stretches. Because if I don't I lock up. I went to the movies tonight, I got to involved with the movie. I forgot to stretch. It took me twenty minutes to be able to walk.
I also lay prone twenty minutes twice a day. It takes another ten minutes to be able to get up. But I always move. Yes to moving. The more you move the stronger you get. The less fusing. But like others have said. If it hurts STOP. Don't over do. If you need a day off, take it.

I have found I'm fine with the excersize I do at my gym but cleaning excersizes hurt like buggery! Scrubbing the shower, bath or putting washing on the line is torture so I leave them as long as possible or the day before people visit!

Jay,
I definitely feel better when I stick to a consistent exercise routine. Everyone needs to experiment to see what is helpful for them, but stretching and some core strengthening are pretty important.
I have a strength training program involving weights and therabands which I do three times a week. Keeping the muscles strong is important for preventing injury. The strength training program includes core strengthening to keep my abs and back muscles strong. I stretch most days. I do something aerobic five days a week, either walking, biking or water walking.
I find that days off are also important. I take one or two days a week off and omit the strength training for a week about every six weeks.

OMG! i thought i was the only person in the whole world that couldn't do water therapy!!!!!!
i had been in and out of PT for about 10 years and normal PT (manual where they treat the body) not "exercise PT" always helped tremendously.
i can walk most of the time (except if the SI is really bad) and can often bike and sometimes swim.
so i was amazed how awful, terrible, horrendous the water PT was.....
never, ever ever again.
it hurt my SI, it hurt my wrists, it hurt my upper back......took like 6 months to recover from the two weeks of damage i got from the water therapy. simply walking and moving slowly and gently against the "gravity" of water.
no thank you 
finally someone who can relate.

The manual didn't help either. So I am hoping things settle down. I too have been in and out of PT for years. Actually since I was 14. (many many moons ago) This is the first time I didn't get any relieve. It is also the first time I had more pain with it.
