Treating Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction

Yoga

Certain yoga poses are more beneficial for individuals affected by sacroiliac joint dysfunction than others. Asymmetrical forward bends and twists can assist with decrease the torque through the sacroiliac joint. Standing poses and simple backbends can help with building, strengthening, and maintaining the muscles associated with the sacroiliac joint. Maintaining the strength of these muscles can help prevent further pain due to sacroiliac joint dysfunction and displacement of the joint. While yoga exercises have shown to help many patients affected by sacroiliac joint dysfunction, incorrectly performing these poses can cause the joint to become stressed further and cause injury.
