The Lower Body (Hips, Knees, Ankles and Feet)
•
28m
Sacroiliac joint dysfunction is a common cause of low back pain. Overuse, trauma, impact, imbalance, inflammation, and hormonal changes during pregnancy can all cause problems for the usually-stable SI joint.
In this tutorial session, Kyle looks at what happens when SI dysfunction occurs, how you can assess whether an SI joint is moving as it should (and whether it is really the SI joint causing the problem), and what can be done to help it.
