Brief Summary

Sacroiliac joint dysfunction (SIJD) is a common musculoskeletal condition characterized by pain and impaired function in the lower back and pelvis region.

Detailed Description

The reported prevalence of sacroiliac joint pain in cases of chronic low back and lower extremity pain is estimated to be between 10 - 27%. Manual therapy techniques, such as High-Velocity Thrust (HVT) and the Bowen Technique, have emerged as potential treatment options for SIJD. HVT involves quick, controlled movements applied to specific joints to restore normal range of motion and alleviate pain. Conversely, the Bowen Technique is a gentle, non-invasive form of bodywork that utilizes subtle rolling movements over muscles and connective tissues to promote relaxation and restore balance within the body.

Study Groups

High Velocity Thrust

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

High Velocity Thrust

Intervention Type: DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Group A Participants assigned to the HVT will receive manual therapy sessions consisting of specific manipulative techniques targeting the sacroiliac joint and surrounding structures. participant lying on your side or on your stomach, depending on which SI joint needs to be manipulated.The physiotherapist will stabilize body to isolate the specific SI joint that needs adjustment. This may involve holding certain parts of your body in place or using props like a belt or cushion.With precise control and speed, the physiotherapist will apply a sudden thrust to the targeted SI joint. This thrust aims to mobilize the joint and restore its normal function. This procedure will perform in 3 sessions per week for 2 weeks

Bowen therapy

Group Type: OTHER

Bowen therapy

Intervention Type: OTHER

participants will undergo sessions involving gentle, rolling movements over muscles, tendons, and ligaments in sacroiliac joint . participant lie comfortably on a treatment bed fully clothed, typically face down or on your side. The physiotherapist will perform a series of gentle, rolling movements with their fingers and thumbs over specific points on your body, including the lower back, hips, and buttocks. These moves are designed to stimulate the nervous system and promote relaxation and healing in the affected area.
