What is Osteitis Condensans Ilii?
Before we dive into physiotherapy treatments, let’s start with a brief introduction about what exactly is Osteitis Condensans Ilii. Okay, brace yourself – it’s going to get technical up in here (insert dramatic music).
Osteitis condenses ilii (OCI) is an ailment that affects your sacro-iliac joint which connects your sacrum (tail bone) and pelvic bones together. OCI causes pain in one or both sides of the lower back and buttocks region. OCI mostly affects women between 20-40 years old who have given birth before; making them prime candidates for having an excruciatingly painful time
The Good News – It Can be Treated!
Don’t worry! The good news is that there are various physiotherapy treatments available aimed at reducing your symptoms so that you can return to doing everyday activities without grimacing like someone who ate too many sour patch kids!
Here are some of them:
Stretching Exercises
Ahh yes, stretching exercises –– what comes to mind when you think of those two words!? Probably something like medieval torture…but fear not friends, these stretches aim to give relief rather than torment.
Some commonly followed stretch exercise programs for OCI include;
- Hamstring Stretches
- Quadriceps Muscles Stretches
- Gluteal Muscle Stretches
Pro Tip:
Remember to stretch gently and gradually at first as too much intensity can cause more pain. And, never forget the importance of proper posture!
Strengthening Exercises
When it comes to OCI physiotherapy, strengthening exercises are also essential.

Manual Therapy/ Mobilisation
Manual therapy involves hands-on techniques performed by qualified physiotherapists. The goal is to loosen tight muscles around your sacroiliac joint and release any restrictions within that area.
Manual therapy exercises might include:
1) Deep Tissue Massage.
2) ‘We’re Just Friends!’ Joint Manipulation – No worries about AI machines concerning themselves with friendships for now!
3) Trigger Point Release!
4) Dry Needling – wait! isn’t that when they stick needles into your skin? Don’t panic – it’s called dry because there’s no liquid involved!
5) Soft Tissue Mobilization Give you flappy bits a good wriggle?
Pro Tip:
Make sure you find an experienced professional who knows how to perform these techniques correctly since one wrong move could put you back in agony land (and I’m pretty sure there’s no passport needed for THAT particular trip).

Apart from physiotherapy treatments mentioned above; some other options may be used together or separately based on how severe the symptoms are. They include;
- NSAIDs: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like Ibuprofen and Naproxen help reduce swelling/inflammation {Bet you’ll sleep well tonight knowing that!},

- Biofeedback :- You will learn to control specific bodily functions like muscle tension and monitor progress through different technologies.
