@doctorhaleymain: “Your hips are out.” We hear this ALL the time when someone has low back, pelvic, or SIJ-region pain. But instead of assuming the pelvis is simply “out of alignment,” we need to ask a better question: Is the SI joint actually the pain generator? SIJ pain can overlap with symptoms coming from the lumbar spine, hip, and surrounding soft tissues—which is exactly why your examination and clinical reasoning matter. Rather than chasing alignment, use a cluster of findings to help determine whether the SIJ is actually contributing to your patient’s symptoms. 📩 Want my SIJ Pain Generator Quick Guide to help you identify these patients faster? Comment “SIJ” and I’ll send it to you. And if you’re a PT who wants to get better at identifying pain generators, building a treatment plan, and knowing what to do next with your patients, that’s exactly what we work on inside my Foundations to Clinical Success Mentorship. Comment “MENTORSHIP” and I’ll send you the details. #physicaltherapy #physicaltherapist #SIJpain #sacroiliacjoint #lowbackpain
