Описание: Sacroiliac Joint Mobilization
🔹 Definition
Sacroiliac joint mobilization is a manual therapy technique used by physiotherapists or chiropractors to restore normal movement, reduce stiffness, and relieve pain in the SI joint, which connects the sacrum (base of the spine) to the iliac bones (pelvis).
🔹 Indications

Pelvic asymmetry or stiffness
Sacroiliac joint dysfunction (hypomobility or malalignment)
Postural imbalance
Pain during walking, standing, or transitional movements
🔹 Techniques
Passive mobilization
Small rhythmic oscillations applied to the SI joint
Aimed at reducing stiffness and improving range of motion
Muscle Energy Technique (MET)
Uses patient’s own muscle contractions against resistance to correct pelvic/SI malalignment
Manual mobilization with movement
Therapist assists joint glide while patient performs active movement
🔹 Benefits
Restores joint mobility
Reduces pain and inflammation
Improves pelvic alignment
Enhances functional activities like walking and sitting
Decreases stress on lumbar spine and hips
