13. The sacroiliac joints between the sacrum and the ilium bones of the pelvis are strong, weight-bearing joints that transmit all the forces of the upper body to the pelvis and legs. When the pelvis is misaligned, the SI joints are worked incorrectly, and compression can occur, resulting in lower back pain. In this workshop, we will explore the working of the pelvis and the sacroiliac joints, and learn how to create maximum space for freedom and flexibility.
