Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Sacroiliac joint pain. Timepoint: Before starting treatment, at the beginning of each treatment session, at the end of 4 treatment sessions. Method of measurement: The patient is asked and recorded as 0 (painless) to 10 (worst possible pain) by the visual analog scale (VAS).;Sacroiliac joint tenderness. Timepoint: Before starting treatment, at the beginning of each treatment session, at the end of 4 treatment sessions. Method of measurement: Touch the sacroiliac joint to check for tenderness. Recording of tenderness information by a specialist doctor is done as follows: 1- No pain 2- Mild tenderness (causing pain with deep touch) 3- Moderate tenderness (causing pain with superficial touch) 4- Severe tenderness (severe reaction of the patient with superficial touch).
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Quality of Life. Timepoint: Before starting treatment, at the end of 4 sessions of treatment. Method of measurement: Oswestry questionnaire.;Adductor muscle tenderness. Timepoint: Before starting treatment, at the beginning of each treatment session, at the end of 4 treatment sessions. Method of measurement: Touch the junction of the adductor longus muscle to check for tenderness. Tenderness is recorded by a sports medicine specialist as 1- painless 2- mild tenderness (causing pain with deep touch) 3- moderate tenderness (causing pain with superficial touch) 4- severe tenderness (severe reaction of the patient with superficial touch).;Stiffness of adductor muscles. Timepoint: Before starting treatment, at the beginning of each treatment session, at the end of 4 treatment sessions. Method of measurement: Touch the length of the adductor longus muscle to check muscle stiffness. Stiffness is recorded by a sports medicine specialist in the form of 1- usual consistency 2- touch of stiffness 3- clear protrusion.
