Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) mechanics indicate that therapists should take a holistic, movement-focused approach to SIJ pain.

The sacroiliac joints (SIJs) move only slightly in the sagittal plane, but we can use this potential mobility to help with low-back, hip, gluteal, or pelvic pain, as well as pain or a feeling of stiffness in the SIJs themselves.

Increased understanding of the biomechanics of the sacroiliac joint have led to a re-evaluation of traditional approaches to treating SI joint dysfunction.

Balance isn't easy. Whether in our life or in our body, finding the sweet spot between life's extremes can be complicated. The lower in the body we look, the greater the forces of standing and balancing become.

The hip joint, and more specifically the coxal joint, is formed by the articulation of the head of the femur and the acetabulum of the pelvis. This joint serves as a bridge—let's learn its mechanics and movements.

Overactivity and excessive mechanical load are the leading causes of patellofemoral pain syndrome. Massage can play a role in treating patellar tracking disorders, especially in reducing hypertonicity
