Sacroiliac Joint Disorders Physiotherapy Singapore
Sacroiliac joint disorders encompass conditions that cause pelvic instability or lower back stiffness. Our specialized physiotherapy safely manages SI joint inflammation and rebuilds core support.
What is a Sacroiliac Joint Disorder?
The sacroiliac (SI) joint connects your spine to your pelvis, located on both sides of your lower back just above the buttocks.
A sacroiliac joint disorder occurs when this joint becomes irritated, inflamed, or unstable — leading to pain in the lower back, buttock, or even the thigh.
Many people mistake this for general lower back pain, but SI joint pain is often one-sided and linked to movement or weight-bearing.
If you are looking for sacroiliac joint physiotherapy in Singapore, ACE Physio Sports can accurately diagnose and treat the root cause.

How Does a Sacroiliac Joint Disorder Happen?
SI joint problems usually occur due to poor stability or abnormal movement in the joint.
Common causes include:
- Excessive joint movement (instability)
- Ligament strain or overstretching
- Muscle imbalance around the hips and core
- Sudden movements or lifting injuries
- Pregnancy-related pelvic changes
- Prolonged sitting or poor posture
When the joint is repeatedly stressed, it leads to inflammation and pain.
Symptoms (What People Often Feel)
Sacroiliac joint pain has very distinct patterns. Patients commonly report:
- Pain on one side of lower back above buttock
- Pain when standing up from sitting
- Pain when walking or standing long
- Pain when climbing stairs
- Pain in buttock going into thigh or groin
- Stiffness in lower back or hips
- Difficulty putting weight on one side
- Feeling like pelvis is unstable
Some people describe it as “pain near back dimple area” or “pain when turning in bed”.
What Should I Do?
If you suspect SI joint pain:
- Get a physiotherapy assessment early
- Avoid movements that trigger pain
- Stay active but within pain limits
- Focus on posture and controlled movement
- Start targeted rehabilitation early
Early treatment helps prevent chronic lower back or pelvic pain.

What Shouldn’t I Do?
- Do not ignore one-sided lower back pain
- Avoid activities that worsen symptoms
- Do not continue sports through pain
- Avoid prolonged sitting without breaks
- Do not self-diagnose as generic back pain
Delaying treatment can lead to longer recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my lower back hurt more after sitting for a long time?
Prolonged sitting increases pressure on the lumbar discs and joints, irritating structures that are already sensitised in Sacroiliac Joint Disorders. Physiotherapy teaches movement strategies, stretching breaks, and ergonomic adjustments to manage this effectively.
Is my lower back pain serious enough to need a scan or specialist referral?
Most lower back pain does not require immediate imaging. A physiotherapy assessment can identify the likely source and begin targeted treatment. Scans are recommended if red flag symptoms — such as bladder/bowel changes, significant leg weakness, or unexplained weight loss — are present.
Can physiotherapy manage Sacroiliac Joint Disorders without long-term medication?
Physiotherapy is the first-line treatment for most lower back conditions and is highly effective on its own. Manual therapy, targeted exercises, and lifestyle education reduce pain and prevent recurrence without long-term medication reliance.
