Summary
This study tested two manual therapy methods—myofascial release and joint mobilization—in 42 women with sacroiliac joint dysfunction, a common cause of low back pain. Both techniques were added to a standard exercise and ultrasound program over six weeks. Researchers measured pain, balance, spinal mobility, and disability to see which approach works better.
