Sacroiliac Joint (SIJ) Disorder

Our SIJ therapy begins with a detailed assessment of the pelvic girdle and legs, which includes evaluating the range of motion in the hips, measuring leg lengths, and checking hip bone positioning. We also assess symptom provocation and review your treatment and imaging history to create a plan tailored to your specific needs.

Treatment may include exercise therapy, pelvic realignment, muscular re-education, and muscular release through manual therapy. Both therapist-administered and patient-instructed manual therapy techniques are used. Additionally, habit modification strategies are provided to help address contributing factors and support long-term recovery.
