The sacroiliac joint (SIJ) is an anatomical structure, which is surrounded by an important network of ligaments [5] and also has been referred to as an important source of low back pain (LBP) [1]. Worldwide low back pain (LBP) and its associated costs represent an important issue [1]. The SIJ posterior ligament is capable of referred pain in the lower limb, and back [2]. Thus, the SIJ complex is an anatomical structure that requires a specific manual physical examination during the diagnosis’s potential origins for SIJ or LBP.
