SIJ & Pelvic Pain Physiotherapy

The sacroiliac joint (SIJ) is where your lower spine meets the pelvis. SIJ pain is commonly missed — at ASPIRE we have given countless second and third opinions on undiagnosed SIJ dysfunction. We know exactly what to look for.

Common Causes

What causes this condition?

🦴

SIJ Dysfunction

Abnormal movement or compression at the sacroiliac joint causes pain that can radiate to the lower back, hip, groin and buttock — often misdiagnosed as lumbar or hip pathology.

🤰

Pregnancy-Related Pelvic Pain

Hormonal changes loosen pelvic ligaments causing SIJ instability. Our physios are experienced in managing pregnancy-related pelvic conditions.

💪

Muscle Imbalance

Weakness in the gluteal, deep abdominal and pelvic floor muscles destabilises the SIJ and leads to chronic pain patterns.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if I have SIJ pain? ▾
SIJ pain can mimic many conditions. A physiotherapist uses specific clinical tests to isolate the SIJ as the source. If back or hip treatment has not worked, SIJ dysfunction may be the cause.
Is SIJ pain common? ▾
Yes — SIJ dysfunction is responsible for up to 30% of lower back pain presentations. It is frequently missed by clinicians not specifically testing for it.
Can physiotherapy resolve SIJ pain? ▾
Most SIJ conditions respond very well to physiotherapy combining manual therapy for symptom relief with targeted rehabilitation for long-term stability.
