Diagnosis and treatment of SIJDS continues to be a lively discussion amongst researchers and clinicians. Manual therapy has been recommended as a treatment for SIJDS, and this study aimed to evaluate the effects of sacroiliac joint (SIJ) manual therapy and home exercises on pain and quality of life in patients with SIJDS.
