I've been seeing an osteopath for back problems and they concluded that the aches and lack of mobility I have could be caused by problems in the sacroiliac joint, which is borne out by where the occasional pain is. A lot of the muscles around it can be tight or in spasm, but they think that's more of a symptom than a cause.

Anyone had any experience of this joint being problematic, what was it, and what ended up making things better? Nine months of this I've had so looking to get a bit more perspective on it!

I had issues a few years back after I'd slipped in the garden mid winter (it would have been better if I'd just let myself fall etc)

Years of heavy powerlifting (squatting/deadlifts etc) had made the muscles & joints strong but caused other issues when they pulled tight through spasms etc

Like you went to see my osteo to get loosened off; but also did a lot of specific exercises using a foam roller and hard ball:

Worth giving them a bash as they helped me a lot
