Summary

This study compares two types of hands-on therapy (Muscle Energy Techniques) for people with sacroiliac joint dysfunction, a common cause of lower back and pelvic pain. Fifty adults aged 18 to 50 will receive either innominate rotation correction or sacral torsion correction, plus standard care like heat or cold packs and exercises. The goal is to see which technique better reduces pain and improves daily function over 4 weeks.
