Sacroiliac/ SIJ joint pain and dysfunction

Sacroiliac, SIJ Joint Pain and Dysfunction

Sacroiliac joint pain occurs where the lower spine connects to the pelvis and can cause discomfort in the lower back, hips, or buttocks. It often develops from poor movement patterns, pregnancy-related changes, trauma, or uneven loading of the pelvis. Pain may worsen with standing, walking, or transitions.

Physiotherapy helps treat SIJ joint pain by improving pelvic stability and restoring proper movement. Through hands-on care and targeted exercises, physiotherapy reduces pain, improves joint control, and supports long-term functional recovery.

Understanding Sacroiliac Joint Pain

SIJ dysfunction affects how the pelvis and spine move together. Physiotherapy focuses on improving joint alignment, muscle balance, and movement efficiency.

  • Lower back or pelvic pain

  • Pain with standing or walking

  • Discomfort during transitions

  • Pelvic stiffness or instability

  • Uneven movement patterns
