This study aims to compare the efficacy of Gong's mobilization and Jones's positional release technique in individuals with sacroiliac joint dysfunction.
The study was designed as a randomized controlled trial involving 30 participants diagnosed with sacroiliac joint dysfunction. Participants were randomly divided into two equal groups of 15 using a lottery method. Group A underwent Gong's mobilization, whereas Group B received Jones's positional release technique. In addition, both groups were provided with baseline treatment, including TENS and stretching exercises. Each intervention was carried out three times per week for a duration of six weeks.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gong's mobilization | Experimental | A pain-free, sustained glide is applied to the sacroiliac joint by the therapist. The patient simultaneously performs active movements. |
|
| Jone's positional release | Experimental | The therapist identifies a tender point. The patient is positioned in a way that reduces pain significantly. This position is held for about 90 seconds and the patient is then slowly returned to a neutral position. |
