SIJ Dysfunction

The Sacroiliac joint is located in the lower back and joins the tail bone/ sacrum to the pelvic bones/ ileums. There are two SIJs on either side and their job is to transfer weight from the spine to the pelvis. If excessive forces are placed on these joints, injury/dysfunction may occur. This can be from bending, sitting, lifting, twisting or from running/ jumping. It can be traumatic or from repetitive/prolonged forces. read more
