Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) pain is a common yet often misunderstood condition that affects many individuals, particularly those with a history of lower back pain, pregnancy, or trauma. The sacroiliac joints connect the sacrum (the triangular bone at the base of the spine) to the pelvis, providing stability and shock absorption for the upper body. When…

Introduction with Evidence-Based Practice Achilles tendinopathy is one of the most common overuse injuries, particularly among runners, athletes, and individuals engaged in repetitive lower limb activity. This condition affects the Achilles tendon — the body’s largest and strongest tendon, connecting the calf muscles to the heel bone (calcaneus). Despite being a robust structure, the Achilles…
Deep Gluteal Syndrome (DGS), often referred to as Piriformis Syndrome, is a condition where the sciatic nerve is compressed or irritated by structures within the deep gluteal space, most commonly the piriformis muscle.

The elbow is a hinge joint comprising three bones the humerus, radius, and ulna. Elbow injuries are common and can result from trauma, overuse, or degenerative conditions. Elbow injuries often affect the muscles, tendons, ligaments, or joints, leading to pain, reduced range of motion, and functional limitations. Different types of elbow injuries such as lateral…
Thoracic mobilization focuses on improving movement in the thoracic spine, the mid-back region between the cervical spine (neck) and lumbar spine (lower back). Although less prone to injury than the lower back, this area can become stiff due to factors like poor posture, prolonged sitting, or limited physical activity. Limited thoracic mobility often leads to…
