Bridging should help you considerably...
Once cleared by your doc...
1. Begin on your back, feet shoulder width apart and lift your pelvis off the floor forming a straight line (about 30 degrees) from your shoulders on the floor to your flexed knees. Hold for 30 seconds. Repeat twice more.
2. Roll to your stomach and assume a modified push up position but on your elbows instead of your hands. Stomach in and butt down, again a generally flat surface from your shoulders to your heels. Hold for 30 seconds and repeat twice more.
3. Roll now to your side, again propping yourself up on your elbow so your body forms a generally straight diagonal line from your upper shoulder to your bottom foot on the ground. Same process 30 seconds and repeat twice more.

Eventually you can work up to SINGLE SETS of 3 minutes each position...these simple excersises build a tremendous core muscle strength and help to stabilize and strengthen areas such as the SI joints.

Good luck-do get checked by a physician if you have significant worry, numbness or tingling extending below your knee or in your crotch, or changes in your bladder or bowel habits.
