Why do so many suffer from sacroiliac joint pain? Because the muscles surrounding the joint are dysfunctional. Case in point. Very fit woman, in terrible pain from SI joint, tests weak for glutes, multifidi, abs, psoas, and quads. The only thing holding her up was her very compressed SI joint. Release of the SI followed by strengthening of the aforementioned muscles, brought her tremendous relief. Yes, she has to do her home exercise program, but this illustrates an important concept. If the body feels unstable it will seek out a compensation strategy. In this case, she compressed her SI joint to create stability for her core. If you take away that stability without providing another form of stability, you may make things worse. Dont release unless you know why.
