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.
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 of the tissues around the patella.
