The sacroiliac joint connects the spine to the pelvis and bears significant load during movement. SI joint dysfunction creates pain in the lower back, buttock, and sometimes down the leg. The joint requires stability more than mobility, making the exercise approach different from typical back pain. Muscle imbalances around the pelvis often contribute to SI joint problems. Addressing these imbalances provides relief. Get your personalized routine: Start your 14-day free trial Pelvic Stability The SI joint needs controlled stability, not excessive mobility.
