Pelvis and SIJ
The pelvis and sacroiliac joint (SIJ) are vital for stability, movement and weight transfer between the upper body and lower limbs. Pelvic and SIJ injuries can lead to pain and discomfort that affect your ability to sit, stand, walk or perform daily activities. At Lokahi Healthcare, we use tailored physiotherapy techniques to address pain, improve alignment and restore functional movement. We combine expertise and care to help you regain confidence in your daily activities.
​
We provide care for a variety of pelvis and SIJ conditions, including:
✔ Hip and Pelvic Alignment Issues
