Could deep buttock pain after running or jumping come from the sacroiliac joint?

Doctor’s answer

Yes. Sacroiliac joint pain may be felt in the low back, buttock, or back of the thigh and is often related to single-leg loading, running, jumping, poor pelvic control, or postpartum factors. Treatment usually includes load management and core and hip stability work, with imaging or diagnostic injection when needed.
