About this trial

This clinical trial aims to evaluate whether combining pelvic floor exercises with muscle energy techniques provides greater improvement in pain and functional disability in adults with sacroiliac joint dysfunction compared to muscle energy techniques alone. The study examines whether the addition of pelvic floor training enhances pain reduction and functional outcomes beyond the effects of muscle energy techniques applied to the hamstrings, gluteus medius, piriformis, and iliopsoas muscles. Participants will be assigned to either an experimental group receiving both pelvic floor exercises and muscle energy techniques or a control group receiving muscle energy techniques only, and will complete standardized assessments of pain and disability before and after the intervention.
