I love this stuff(I am a sick man)LOL

The SI ligaments are made up of the posterior (backside) long and short

ligaments and then there are the anterior ligaments(front side of the SI)

In addition, there are the sacro-tuberous and sacro-spinus ligaments which

help to hold the sacrum in relative stability given that the sacrum must

be able to move slightly for normal function.

The muscles do develope trigger points in response to long, asymmetrical

pulls and too much facilitation by the nervous system in response to the

pain. Sort of " the perfect storm scenario. "
