SI Joint Provocation Tests | SIJ Testing Explained

Chris Adam is an Arizona-based physical therapist at Foothills Sports Medicine Physical Therapy (East Scottsdale location). He has certifications in dry needling and personal training.

Chris explains that the debate among physical therapists around the SI joint as a source of pain is because of the "wide variety of uncontrolled variables which can influence or mimic pain in this area. The amount of motion available, prevalence of SIJ joint dysfunction, and the classification of the joint are all questions which have not been answered with high quality research to date.
