Hip pain & SI joint — release that lasts.

Understanding hip and SI joint pain

The sacroiliac joint connects the spine to the pelvis. When surrounding muscles — particularly the piriformis, glutes and hip flexors — become tight or imbalanced, they pull the joint out of its optimal position. The result is a deep ache that's hard to pin down, often mistaken for lower back or sciatic pain.

Hip restriction and bursitis follow a similar pattern — tightness in the TFL, glutes and hip flexors restricts the joint's range of motion and creates pain that can refer into the groin, outer thigh or knee.

• Deep one-sided ache in the lower back or buttock
• Pain that's worse after sitting for long periods
• Restricted hip rotation — difficulty crossing your legs
• Aching into the groin, outer thigh or down the leg

Treatment focuses on releasing the piriformis and surrounding hip musculature, restoring pelvic alignment and addressing the movement patterns that created the imbalance. Most clients see significant improvement within 2–3 sessions.
